    Life has been really bad lately... I have no one to talk to, those I thought I could count on are no longer around, and boy, do I feel some emotional/depressive binge behaviors emerging in my thoughts.... Today I've literally been longing for Monday to roll around because a local pizza place has their pizzas for 50% off. How messed up is that!!?

    ummm right now, going to town on homemade corn bread. lol
    It's so good and i just cant stop eating it.... it's my fault though for waiting too long to eat dinner and being at work earlier.
    whoops, not regretting it though. I was starving earlier and that usually triggers and over eat session.:embarassed:

    a cpl nights ago i ate not one but TWO Big macs ( i throw away the middle piece of bread though, not for calories but im just not a huge fan of white bread, and thats too much bread for me ew) , a small fry, a chocolate shake, potato chips and i dont even remember what else!

    The good thing about binging on MCD. Its the most effective laxative known to man lol

    The next day I weighed in 2 pounds lighter :P

    I am in a similar place. Severe depression, social isolation ( I only know one person in my city), bad living conditions with difficulty moving out, severe OCD, ugh. Pizza is not really an urge for me, it is the sweet things... I can do fine with not buying them, but I go through phases where I seem to think 'what the heck' or where I want to challenge myself to learn self control, and it all goes t*ts up, of course.
    I try and view these occasions as sort of refeed days, when I can, and kick the butt out of my workout the day after, but no, not ideal. I mean, really, one does not even need this sort of food to be happy and certainly not to be healthy.

    Today.

    OTOH, I had very little during the day so I could have a small binge tonight. 3 beers and a pile of tortilla chips, and I stayed under my limit.

    It feels strange. I got heavy because I ate for comfort, for all the reasons stated by Graelwyn75 and others. I thought snacks were wonderful. Now, because of drugs and appropriate help and the supportive people here, food does not hold as much interest.

    Not what I would call a binge. I've had epic binges where I would stuff myself with food, throw up (from overeating not induced) then begin eating again.

    The closest was, maybe Wednesday. I didn't work out and overate by a little over 300 calories. It was that or no dinner whatsoever and that's not an option.

    Every now and then I will take a few extra bites of cheese when I'm preparing dinner or something like that but no true binges for a long time.

    It's funny that what I now consider a binge used to be my daily routine! I just drank 1/2 bottle of good rose and three slices of thin crust home made pizza.

    Beginning of the year I was 211. Weighed in today at 197. Yesterday I took my family to the fair and I ate half a plate of large curly fries, a hot dog, and large elephant ear. So yeah, that was my latest binge. I basically just have to have the will of saying "NO!" "I want to drop pounds, I don't need to eat that crap." I have a nutritionist that has told me, "You need to be at 1900/calories. That doesn't mean elimination, it means moderation." Just got to make sure that you stay within your calories and that you are working out. And just to say, I felt like crap after my binge yesterday at the fair.

    I like to call them treats! In some respect that is, lol. I try my best to eat well every day, watch my calories, log my daily intake, and exercise. I had a day today of eating 4 slices of home made pizza....ummm, it was awesome! Did I blow my calories out of proportion, a little..but after being good for several days I treated myself. Late at night I have a glass of chocolate Almond milk for a sweet treet. It helps curb my sweet tooth. I know that dieting can be a guilt trip for going off routine, but don't let it..remember, you can work it off! Know that you did not deprive yourself of a moment in life that is also no longer a regular eating habit, hence the moderation method. Discipline and awareness are keys to success!

    I think it is completely normal to have a REALLY bad day once in a blue moon but I have to admit my last one meant that I had heart burn for hours - it involved two caramel iced krispy kreme doughnuts followed VERY quickly by the enitre packet of cadbury egg 'n' spoon milky mousse's (4) this totalled OVER 1400 calories in about 20 minutes!! The only plus side was I felt so ill I didnt eat an evening meal and that meant I was only over my count buy 500 calories! lol!

    I feel like I just cant stop when I start so now I dont allow myself to a) go food shopping when Im hungry and b) NEVER EVER buy this stuff to begin with!! but I know I will relapse at some point and have a really sh**y day but its just about not letting it derail the entire diet! In the last year I can probably count one maybe two bad daya a month but the other I was sensible on so kudos to me!! Lol!
