So. Pissed. Off. At. Myself.

Last night...

Peanut butter (I logged it as 10tbs but I don't actually know how much it was. Probably closer to 6 or seven)
4 fibre crackers
2 rice cakes
An apple
A handful of almonds
A handful of sultanas
THREE banana bran muffins

And the result? Up 500g/ 1lb this morning.

I went 8 days without doing this and then... Epic fail.

    I am so glad I am found this group my binging has gotten out of control. I will do so well then not be able to handle an emotion or some bull**** and boom BINGE LIKE CRAZY and literally gain 15lbs in two weeks (i haven't changed my ticker to reflect it because i'm to embarassed). Why do I work hard to blow it? I feel gross and unattractive and disappointed in myself and have spent the last few months gaining and losing hte same 10-15lbs. Cookie dough and sweets and burgers I loathe thee

    i binged last night too. i wasnt even hungry to begin with, i just felt that i should eat dinner. one small meal lead to me going into the fridge and taking something else out. then i wanted something sweet and we had pound cake in the kitchen. i finished the whole box (half a loaf). then i kept scooping out spoons after spoons of peanut butter. then i ate some more of everything else in my kitchen... lots of it. doesnt seem like too much but it was lol

    I havent even made it home yet and already today ive consumed:

    A can soda
    a protein bar
    bag of cheez-its
    bag of chips
    lean gourmet meal
    water
    another protein bar

    I still gotta go home and figure out dinner for me and my son....

    The worst part for me is realizing that when im eating something, im already thinking of the nxt thing that im gonna eat.

    Ugh.

    I've binged on salty goods the past 3 days, and having a really hard time breaking through. Sometimes it gets so bad, I feel sick.

    Wow, this is an old thread but kind of cool to see....

    I've been having a tough couple of days too. I hate it that sometimes it's so easy to refrain from bingeing and sometimes it's not. For me.

    I'm hoping to, no, I'm planning on making it a great day and the weekend I'm sure will be much better. I have the hardest time at work, where binge food is easily accessible and it's easy to hide and eat at my desk. Sometimes I wish I had a different job in a different environment, but I don't know if it would be any easier....I've struggled with binge eating for most of my life so a different atmosphere would probably be a short-term fix, if anything. Oh well I guess...I'm not giving up!

    Thanks everyone for being here!
  • Okay. Yesterday I ate:

    6 bagels. 6. That's right, 6 bagels.
    1.5 slices of pizza
    a frappuccino
    a cup of ice cream
    2 brownie bites
    2 bowls of cheerios
    some drink at a bar

    And I have been binging like this for almost 8 days straight. I am so beyond exhausted.This is my longest binge streak. I don't even know what's going on with me.

    And I have been binging like this for almost 8 days straight. I am so beyond exhausted.This is my longest binge streak. I don't even know what's going on with me.

    I've done that - 6 bagels. Plus more food on top of it. You're not alone, if that helps you feel any better.

    Try not to get too down on yourself...beating myself up usually leads to more bingeing (for me, anyway). Hahah, easy for me to say but not do! I know it's SOOO hard especially when we don't know what's going on but sometimes it just needs to burn itself out. That's how I was yesterday, I just had to let it take its course. I'm back on track today, BUT, only because I got lucky...I went to the cafe to get something to supplement my salad and of course my eyes go right to the baked goods....Luckily, they didn't have any of my binge foods! YAY! I was kind of disappointed (WHAT??? Well, the addict in me was disappointed) but I so glad at the same time. Once I get into that bingeing cycle it can be SO hard to stop.

    I ended up with chicken (which is BLAND! LOL) and veggies to go with my salad. I'm not even hungry for lunch but I figured I'd eat a healthy lunch anyway in order to keep myself from eating crap. Hopefully that doesn't backfire - sometimes it's risky for me to eat when I'm not hungry. BUT I get to leave at 3 today because I put in extra hours during the week so I'm excited about that. I usually have the hardest time on Friday afternoons!

    Hang in there, we can get through this!!! Big Hugs!!!

    oh my god, the relief/ disappointment when I dont have access to binge foods, or when im waiting for someone to leave the kitchen so i can binge in peace.
    i literally feel like i have an angel and devil on my shoulders. so crazy!

    yesterday:
    entire bag of turtle chex mix
    panera bagel
    7 chicken wings
    1 cup icecream
    rueben sandwhich
    several pieces of chocolate

    Well the weekend didn't go as well as they usually do. I met a friend for lunch yesterday and was STARVING when I got there (not good). I ate half my lunch and wanted to keep eating but I took the rest home to eat later. A lot of times I'll eat my leftovers like an hour or two later but a BIG FIRST for me was eating the rest in the car on the way home...UGH! WHAT?!? I couldn't even wait to get home. I haven't eaten in my car for YEARS!

    Then I got home and wanted sweet (and I was STUFFED already from eating the rest of my lunch) and proceeded to eat four clif bars. FOUR. WTF.

    As usual, afterward, I was so full and very regretful.

    Today is a new day...I feel like I say that way too much but I just have to keep moving forward and forget about it.

    Hello:

    Please note I have posted a monthly conversation thread for us: See link below and please share because we are not alone in this struggle with binge eating:

  • I also have a confession, and I don't know how to get help for it. Late at night I sometimes wake up, and eat. There's more. My boyfriend tells me about it the next day. That's not the worst part. I don't remember doing it. I tend to Sleep Eat. How can you get help for that? Especially when you don't remember doing it? Does anyone understand what I'm going through? If yes, then how can I stop this behavior? It's ruining my progress.

    I have heard of this but have not idea what the treatment is for it. Have you googled it? or asked your doctor? Wish you the best. If you have not already done so you may want to post it on the converstion thread also. Hope this helps.
