For me its "happy times with people"

Parties, get-together's, dinners out (with more people than just my husband), or going over to other people's houses for dinners are a nightmare for me! If I'm upset upset, or it's just the two of us I don't have near as much as a problem (I still do it sometimes but not so much uncontrollably or to the same extent)

So what are your nightmares that lead to binging?

    For me, it's depression. When I feel sad, I look for comfort in the bottom of a whole big bag of Dorito's..

    When I have to make food for other people. I figure that if I slave over making things, I should at least be able to eat...ALL of it! I'm always making something for a lunch at church or a meeting for my dh or a playdate with friends. The only time I'm safe is when the playdate is with my vegan friend. Kind of limited in what I can make then!

    For me, it's when I am feeling lonely or bored. I just start eating.

    I eat when I'm bored, stressed, depressed, anxious, lonely, mad, anything really. I started brushing my teeth a whole lot more! It helps me not to eat!

    Friday night after a long week of work. I guess it was my way of "letting my hair down".
