I can't do this!

No your not, just start again and take one day at a time. You CAN do it! Dont give up

I'd even say to take it one meal at a time.

I think you need to really ask yourself why you're eating. You know it can't be hunger, we usually binge because of something else like stress/anxiety/etc. Once you realize why you're doing it, you can try to figure out alternative behaviors to calm yourself down.

As for practical stuff: plan ahead, plan your meals so you know what you'll be eating and you can try to stick to it.

Ive been there too,, a million times..but since ive been here I find I keep control,,, cos everyone sees what you are eating, lol I think when youre feeling like that, its a good idea just to make your self go have a good work out, I binge all the time, and when I do do it,, I wake up the next morning with a food hangover, I feel so bad ,and say to my self,, Did I eat all that, last night??? Dont give up, stay with this MFP every day, I think the important thing is ti be honest with yourself, dont deny treats as thats what makes us Binge,, like theres no tomorrow,, Always plan for tomorrow,, and look foward to it,,..Good luck:)

I do this too so you're not the only one - I've come to the conclusion that it's is emotinal eating / bad habit eating as most of the time I'm not even hungry, but still polish off a whole tub of ice cream and then feel horrible with myself afterwards!

I think as frankie says you need to take things 1 day at a time and log everything you eat. The thought of having to account for every bit of food and seeing it written down is a good incentive to try and curb the binges. You are NOT a disaster at all, you are just in a bit of a rut with certain foods and that can be changed

Today is my start afresh day after some appaling eating over the last week (my excuse was I'd been ill and couldn't exercise but that is NO excuse!!) so take today as the start of something new and better As I binge on alot of sugar I do get awful sugar cravings so I have a cup of options hot chocolate on hand and make it with water for a low calorie 'sugar fix' but I find the longer I eat good foods, the less I crave the bad ones, so stick with it!! You can do this!!

Good luck - and remember everyone on her is on some kind of a journey and is here to support you x

First and foremost, you can do this You do need to be in the right frame of mind when you choose to do it and know why you are doing it. Although like you, i also live in Scotland and with the dodgy weather we get it is easy to comfort eat and sit in our jimjams all day as its so miserable outside. I have found what works for me which is the Atkins lifestyle and drinking 3ltrs of wather a day. I have lost 22lbs and still going strong, dues giving i have avoided the gym the last two weeks with no real excuse apart from being lazy so finger out today and of to the gym tonight. You need something to keep you distracted at thoses weak moment. I swear by downing a couple of pints of water. Creates the sense of fullness, no calories and you pee more than you drink so win win xx

You have lots of support here - and the main thing I'd say is that in the current situation your not happy - so think of it as making yourself happy, not quick fix instant gratification stuff but long term happy and healthy. I take it a day at a time, and don't think of it as a diet - is a change of life, and in life we al have slips and better and worse days, balance is the key. Hope you feel better and love yourself a bit more
