Does anyone out there binge like I do?

I do. I find my days like that spiral quickly. If I am over by 100 I go right to well I am over already so why not then the 100 usually turns to 500 over. I am not proud but it is life. It is usually a turning point too for me like either I give up for awhile or get super serious again.

I haven't for a while.I try to keep temptation in the house at all times.I have a three year old....lol But around my TOM I have to keep myself very busy....Otherwise I'm all up in his snacks:(

Yep--me. :blushing:

I have done it three times since starting in January. Once with pizza, once with chocolate and once with everything I could cram in my face for three whole days.............ugh. Took me a week to get the scales back down after that one. :grumble:

I do. This is my second week and I'm already realizing for some reason I lose all willpower and end up binge eating during the weekends. :frown:

yep! It sucks, I hope I can learn to stop it.

I think most people have days like that. Some of it is probably that when you're working on a healthy life style, you try to cut out all of the bad for you things (that all taste so darn good!). You go for weeks of not having these evil treats, and then one day you break and eat yourself sick, lol. Some of it with me is, I'll do really great for a week or two. Have awesome days, be under my calorie count every day, get at least 30 mins of cardio in, the whole nine. Then, one day I have a 'junk day'. I log everything I eat, but am not at all surprised when I go over on my cals, and just kind of shrug it off. I lost four pounds last week (I weigh in on Fridays) and now have to bend my neck over to see my belly under my chest (which is a big improvement, lol), and that was even with having a binge day last week. All in all, I think once in a while having one of those days where you eat terrible things and don't really get in much exercise isn't a bad thing, as long as it's not too often and the rest of the time you try to be really good.

I don't know if this is normal for you, but binge-eating is considered to be an eating disorder. I'm by no means saying that you do or do not have an eating disorder so please PLEASE don't think that I am labeling you. But I used to do this horribly, all the time, and just thought nothing of it. Turned out I needed therapy. I've gotten it under control now, but it's definitely something I have battled with and I think a lot of people on this site battle with it too. Again, I'm only sharing my experience with binge-eating, not labeling you or diagnosing you or anything like that.

Ive been so good but I decided that a drunk burger king run was a fabulous idea... clearly was not

lol! that's why I cut out drinking.. nothing good comes from it!

I just did on Wednesday... Fried potatos and bacon for breakfast, 2 slices of sausage pizza for lunch and a cheesesteak wit wiz for dinner, along with some pretzels and lemon cake... It was so worth it and I am not going to say it won't happen again because I know it will...You have to give yourself a day like this every once in a while or you will go off track and regret it... Just remember, even the skinnest people in the world binge too

My roommate made a delicious cake and said I could have the last piece. Hopefully today I won't give in to temptation and I will eat it tomorrow! We'll see...

I binge when I am alone and bored ... I try to keep busy busy busy and out of the house!!

I have a tendency toward that - although quite to that extent

I have found if I let myself I can fall into the mentality that oh well I blew my diet today I may as well just let it all go and start again tomorrow .. or Monday ... or next week. So I started to think if my eating in 2 ways - my goals for the day - 1200 cals etc and my Ma for the day 2000 - so if I go over - even by 300 cals ( a donut ) I try to think - well I gave into to a treat but I`m still under 500 cals which is still OK even if 800 would have been better

It stops the spiral and minimizes the damage I do to myself

Yup, I do it too. Thankfully mine are far and few between instances. Last night I ate an entire container of Snickerdoodle cookies from WholeFoods. 14 cookies! I should have been happy with 2 but, no, I ate the entire container. Which is why I can't have stuff like that in the house.

This morning I just came back in from my 1 hours walk/run...W4D1 of C25K. So I went over yesterday, way over, but I get right back on track. No waddling in self pity, no regrets....just back on track and move on!

You are NOT alone believe me...most of us struggle! Hang in there!

More recently I have been trying to stop and FEEL what's going on when I feel the urge to binge - there is usually something "behind" it - like "anxiety" or feelings of not liking myself very much...So I'm trying to STOP right then and "feel" those feelings. It's getting easier and easier - JUST LIKE WHEN I QUIT SMOKING! Sometimes it passes quickly - other times NO.

When I fail at stopping ~ and go ahead an binge. I try then to also feel what it feels like: bloated, disappointed, sad, failure, and the biggie - UNSATISFIED!! (believe it or not, feeling that helps when I hit that same "fork it the road" the next time)

When it's especially hard, I try to remember my goals again and why I'm doing this. It's a learning process... I think it's about becoming a master of your own habits, emotions and mind - NOT easy stuff!! But that's why we feel so good when we accomplish even a mini goal!

Be gentle but firm with yourself. You can do it!! ♥⋱¸¸.•´¯`✫

I used to all the other times I tried to diet. This time I'm not having the binges because I am going about this a different way. This may help you. I don't deprive myself of goodies. I do however limit how much of it. Every night I eat ice cream or some other yummy desert. Try getting the smart ones deserts. They are super rich and delicious, but they are all ready proportioned. I also love pudding cups, and the party cups of chocolate and strawberry swirl. Both the puddings and ice cream are about 100 calories. I add my nightly desert to my food diary so that I work around the rest of my day so I can always have desert. It is my SPECIAL TREAT everyday. If I do happen to have a not so great day I put the desert flavored lite yogurts in the freezer and have that as my desert 80 calories. I also savor and enjoy every single bite. This has kept me from binging. Also a few days before TOM I crave extra goodies and and super hungery. For those days I raise my calorie intake by 200 and add 30 minutes of moving. You could just stand in front of the tv and twist for 30 minutes.
Good luck and keep trying!!!
