Saturday evening - Sunday evening is all a blur. I ran a great race on Saturday morning. Didnt get home until 5 pm, then a severe bought of depression hit. I began hitting my binge favorites to self-medicate. I dont even have a clue how much I ate. I dont even know what triggered the depression other than it was just biological. I fell asleep then got up for church on Sunday morning. Immediately after church I went back to bed and my wife got me up around 8 pm and encouraged me to go for a short jog. I did 3 miles and snapped out of the overwhelming depression. I barely recall the weekend, but I'm good today.

I'm sorry to hear that, but at least you feel better now. I have never had clinical depression, but in my worst bingeing days, everything did become a blur. I would sink into a deep mood, as though everyone and everything around me had changed and all I could do was binge. I kind of understand what you mean.

Thank you summerfit - Im thinking the holiday season has alot to do with how poorly I have done this month. Not in that I binged on seasonal treats,but the depression. This time of year is personally hard for a couple reasons.

Also starting to feel nervous about xmas. Its the time of year where you get forced out of your routine and feeding becomes at the whim of what others are serving you. I feel so out of control and then go out of control eating just because. Its silly.
Give me strength to not binge during the next few festive days.0 -

I am under a lot of stress these days, on top on the stress brought on by all the binging itself. Christmas is going to be tough this year...
I feel lost and I have yet to get back the confidence I need to turn things around and stop this binge streak. My binges aren't small, either, so the physical effects of it all are really getting me down. Some days I ache all over because I'm just so bloated, and sometimes I just sit in front of the TV and my heart is pounding hard. This is scary.0 -

Haven't been sticking to my normal limits on starchy/sugary foods, and I've noticed that focus on food resurfacing. I have been overeating, but not binging. Will continue to focus on that 30g sugary/starchy carb per meal limit .0 -

Darn it. I spoiled TB's single-digit points over Christmas. We brought home too many leftovers and I just lost it. Will be working hard.0 -
I came close to blowing it all today. I was so happy to get through Christmas without a binge. Little did I know the day after Christmas would be even harder. I ate "trigger" foods today, but only went 100 calories over. Tomorrow I'm celebrating Christmas with my sister. I need to refuse the trigger foods she's serving, even if I look like a jerk in front of the family. I have to take care of my body and mind, and forget about what my nostalgic heart wants. I have to stop believing the lie that the heart can be fed by food.

This is the first time I've admitted I'm a binge eater. I'll start counting in January. I really like this idea.0

Still overdoing it a bit. Yesterday was better until I got way tipsy on two glasses of wine so I chose to sober up/prevent hangover by eating a lot of starchy items. I do think it was a reasonable choice given the circumstances.0 -
Well, yesterday didn't go as well as planned. My sister, who I adore, served cinnamon rolls and quiche at our family get together. I rarely see her, and I knew she had worked hard and was anxious about everyone liking her cooking. So I accepted the cinnamon roll and ate half before giving the rest to my husband. That was my first dessert in 5 months!
So, I guess you could say I ate in moderation, even though I broke my promise to myself about eating sweets. I really paid for it later in the day, too. All I could think of was eating more sweets, and the hunger pangs were so intense I actually felt ill. I did my best to distract myself, and avoided a binge.
My mind is back on track today, and I'm feeling stronger and more in control than I have been previously this week. I put all the sweets in the house out of sight, except for that darn gingerbread house my kids made. That thing keeps catching my attention!0 -

Made it with only 1 binge days, and they were on Dec 1 and 2. I can't believe this!
