Just got done with a binge :(

Must be one of those weeks. I know a lot of people, myself included, that have been just STARVING by the end of the day. Tomorrow is another day...don't worry about today.

This happens to me most about one week out of each month. I am trying real hard to do "less" damage than I normally would. It's wierd how we get along just fine and then this craving/hunger/out of control feeling comes around.

Not much help here other than to tell you you are not alone... hang in there. Even though I have these cycles.... i still lose in the long term.

Best wishes!

If you're a girl is it possible that it's your, ahem, "shark week"?

You might be getting hungry because your body is going into starvation from not eating enough cals everyday.

Overeating or Binging for 1 day will in fact do more good than bad in the long term provided you go back to your normal diet.

I binge/overeat at least once a week to replenish my metabolism and tell my body that it's not in starvation mode. So far it's working a treat.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it too much.

Don't beat yourself up!! Think about what may have triggered it, but don't stress about it. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on track!

no looking back! only forward!

Oh honey it will be ok! I know....I have been there. And I am sure u know it will take a-lot to never go there again.

I have found out that my monthly friend will trigger a binge. They are SO BAD. I seriously at one point was laying in bed crying because I ate like crazy, I am STILL hungry. And I wanted chocolate. lol

Now that I know this info, I know I need to plan ahead ...yes I am going to have chocolate but lot's of fiber too.

I know with some people they just cant have certain foods around them or they will binge. If that's the case you can eliminate those foods completely if that's what you have to do.

Sorry if it seems like I am jumping topics! lol I know how this is. It helps for me to plan out everything. And to have other enjoyably activities to do besides eat. Like take a nice warm shower, play piano, light some candles, read a comic book., Tidy up the house while listening to dirty rap music! XD Anything! Just get your mind away from food.

I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. So look back on this ....see it as a learning experience. Did u not eat so well during the day? therefor you have no remaining cals but are still Hungary. where u stressed out? (I eat cus of stress sometimes) Did you allow yourself just ONE THING and it turned into the WHOLE THING?

Take this information. Write it down, make a mental note.
Know that all the hard work you have done up to this point is NOT in vain. A set back is a set up for a comeback! Learn from this, apply it to the future and use it to kick even more Butt!!!!!

One day at a time. You can do it! Take Care!

I owe you a cupcake, because I'm totally stealing this.


Everyone binges occasionally, I had to exercise today even though it was my rest day because I was so hungry. My mom says she gets really hungry on the days that she drops more weight, so maybe it's that.

Binge eating is one of my hardest things...becasue i will waite until everyone is asleep and then pig out, late at night, it is something that i have to tell myself NO! all the time. I have also started making a list of things that i can do instead of eating, like go on MFP or read or take a bath...but i have to say the week before aunt flow comes i am screwed.

If you don't eat enough during the day to keep your metabolism burning you will find yourself famished by the end of the night. Try to keep a steady source of energy in your body every 3-4 hrs. Eat small meals through out the day. Always try to have a balance of Protien, Carbs & Fat with each meal. If you do BINGE at 1 meal you'll probably get away with it as long as 1 meal doesn't turn into 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month!!! (you get the idea) Rome wasn't built in a day! Don't beat yourself up over it. Just put it behind you and promise yourself that the next meal will be a healthy one. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
