    Leftover birthday cake from my 7yo's party.

    Like, half of it.

    Felt truly like crap (physically - not guilt) for about three days. Ugh.

    Back in college --(depressed a lot)--I once went through 3 different fast food drive-thru lanes late one night and ate all 3 meals. This was after my day of regular snacks and lunch. It was sonic, mcdonalds and a local hot dog place.

    Sonic = extra long coney and tots and drink
    mcdonalds = double quarter pounder and fries and drink
    local place = 2 chili cheese dogs, potato chips and hot fudge sundae

    I think I'm going to be sick just thinking about that! YUCK! I can remember how awful and sick I felt afterwards.

    Before my new eating habits... probably that one time I ate 2 large pizzas with 16 buffalo wings and a large dr. pepper then later on in the day ate a double double from in'n'out with a vanilla shake and fries followed by a cheesy pretzel.

    During my diet... a month or so ago when I ate 23 cupcakes in a day... they were delicious.

    Oh my gosh. I can't even begin to remember ALL that I ate on my biggest binge day ever (just a couple weeks ago) but it included a whole box of Little Debbie zebra cakes in a single sitting, as well as: four or five of the XL fudge rounds, a couple Little Debbie brownies, a swiss roll, ice cream sundae cone, pumpkin bread, and anything else I could find to shovel into my freaking mouth-spread out in the rest of the day. :-/

    I did a 30 hour famine as a teenager. Came home and ate for 6 hours straight. Half a regular pizza, then crackers and cheese, veggies with cream cheese dip, then a regular lunch. More snacks after lunch, then supper. Definitely sweets involved. I have an entire set of sweet teeth.

    Haven't had a binge since I started my journey, but when I was young my mom used to bring home 2 double cheese burgers, a large fry and a large blizzard from Dairy queen just for me. It was awful, and a parent should never do that! I know I never would after what I've been through!
    I guess the most recent one would be a Large Stuffed crust bbq pizza from Pizza hut and a whole order of cheese bread sticks. It is just gross how much I used to eat, and how I let myself get. Now the weight just doesn't want to come off :(
    I wish I could go back in time, and take back all of the awful things I did!!!
    A whole container of Puppy chow or a whole pan of scotcheroos!

    I am only posting this because I am done with bingeing but it took 8 years of hard work and blundering around trying to figure my brain out. I wish I had read this book in 1998 and would have saved myself a lot of heartache. I always thought it was about self control... I learned it was more about compulsion and addiction.

    This was impressive...

    After work I stopped at Chiptole
    Steak bowl double rice brown and white, corn, double sour cream and cheese

    The a friend wanted a few drinks:
    3 beers 4 shots
    6 pryrohi
    4 potato pancakes
    2 stuffed cabbage

    New bar
    2 beers
    6 slices kielbasa
    Driving home stopped at sheets

    mac and cheese bites
    jalapeno stuffed pretzle
    peanutbutter M&M's (did not finish the bag)

    Then went to walmart to buy icecream
    watched a movie and ate
    Cookies and cream icecream....2 cups..

    Woke up at 5 am bloated and with back pain and couldn't go back to sleep......

    Lesson learned!

    A full bag of Peanut M & M while waiting for the pizza to get here. then after scarfing a bag of Nacho Cheese chips with sour-cream. Then peanut butter on a spoon dipped with chocolate chips. so prolly a cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup peanut butter.
    I binged yesterday. box of chocolates, Lentil bread, and 2 bite mini pizzas(12) then went out to supper to do the very late vday date night

    I could easily scoff an entire pizza with huge dollops of salad cream piled on top of it, too. I've been known to eat entire packs of Maryland Double Choc Cookies for breakfast, dunked in tea. I ate a whole pack of Galaxy cake bars in half an hour a few months back. A massive pack of Twiglets I can get through in one sitting, plus one of those huge bags of crisps that are meant for sharing. A few years ago I ate a readymeal lasagne, all of it. It was meant to serve a family of four. I've never really been that big, either. But I was doing so much damage to my body.

    Worst was when my friend passed away of cancer and I lived a province away from him. I was so upset I went and ordered 2 dozen doughnuts from Krispy Kreme, ate both boxes, so 24 doughnuts (and they weren't just the "original" ones, they were cake doughnuts). Then went to Dairy Queen, ordered 2 blizzards and an ice cream cone, at all of that. And went home and ate and entire bag of dry oats with a spoon... blind and totally zoned out....

    so in a span of 2-4 hours:
    Calorie total... 13,000 approximately....

    I have never been so ill in my entire life...

    I spooned the oats in just to blankly.. I can't even explain my sadness to anyone here...

    *hugs* i'm sorry for your loss. that's tough.

    I agree....I have the STRONGEST chocolate cravings during that time. I would down a bag of Hershey's Kisses without a second thought. This week was the FIRST time I ever actually ate the serving size (9 pieces). It's definitely a journey!

    My worst binges usually comes in the form of dessert foods. Mainly involving chocolate.

    Case in point, chocolate ice cream squished between 2 plain bagels.

    Oh, and melted chocolate Halloween candy over chocolate chip pancakes with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. I didn't eat it because the pancakes weren't GF but I made it for someone else. :x

    I seriously make the most horrible, sinfully delicious, diabetic inducing, desserts.

    That's why I'm going a whole year without chocolate.

    CHicken dip made of bleu cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, wing sauce, and grilled chicken, with scoops. I ate it all day. It was good but the pain afterwards yikes

    Mine wasn't a binge, but the last time I bulked up (12lbs muscle in 2 months) I routinely ate between five- and six-thousand calories a day. It was actually pretty difficult to make sure I was getting enough clean calories. Not to mention expensive, which made me understand why many bodybuilders will take the cheap route and just fill up on fast food and then worry about cutting later (which I did week 4 or 5 because the last month of meals cost me about 3x my normal food budget).

    I drank half a gallon of whole milk a day, ate roughly 2lbs of lean meat per day, would eat 3 or 4 sweet potatoes in a sitting, and my "snacks" were typically things like 2 cans of tuna with a quarter cup of mayo on a whole-wheat sub roll.

    Let's not forget going out with friends where I'd eat two giant burritos instead of one, just to make sure I was getting enough calories.


    My worst real BINGE, though, was when I was following "4 Hour Body", very similar to a cyclic Keto diet so 6 days of lean meats, veggie carbs, etc., and then 1 day a week of "carb up". Except the prescribed "carb-up" was "eat tons and tons of junk". That being said one Saturday I had:

    * an extra-large regular Dunkin' Donuts coffee (regular i.e. with cream and sugar)
    * two large coffee rolls (from DD)
    * one egg and sausage sandwich on a bagel (from DD)
    * a large meat-lovers pizza from Papa John's
    * a gallon of whole milk
    * a bucket of extra-crispy original recipe from KFC
    * about half of a 9" velvet cake with cream cheese frosting

    Surprisingly between my weigh-in Saturday morning and my weigh-in the following Monday morning I actually lost weight and bodyfat.

    i'm even ashamed to say, but i'm betting it was in the neighborhood of 5-7,000 calories. easily. there were so many. probably a pizza AND wings to myself. i had to completely change the way i thought about food. when i would order in, i'd always say "we" and ask for things like 2 sets of chopsticks - even though my husband was not at home - because of the shame of ordering that much food. it was awful. i don't ever want to go back to that place again.

    Like you, I hate to admit it. There have been times I've order enough food from a Mexican restaurant to feed a family of four. It's sad to think about my total daily calorie intake now was probably a breakfast for me before and I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing to my body.

    One day, I will be able to afford a trip to the USA and taste all this delicious sounding stuff you all speak of. Taco Bell? Peanut butter M & Ms? Dairy Queen Blizzards? It all sounds so exotic to me ESPECIALLY corn dogs (I have no idea what they are, but I want one!)

    I used to binge all the time, never thinking of it as binging. But since I started losing weight, I've had a couple of bad binges with cake mix or cookie dough...

    It may sounds strange but reading these actually make me feel a little better knowing that I am not alone in past binging.

    Back in college I used to keep a bag of Meijer Kettle Chips, Pretzel Sticks and Chewy Chips Ahoy next to my bed. They didn't usually last longer than a week, usually about three days....and I wonder how I gained all this weight.

    I think the worst binges for me would be going to 3-4 fast food places on my way home from work and ordering 1-2 different things so that people didn't think I was eating so much. On top of that I would then go home and still eat the dinner that was made just to keep everyone from knowing I had just ate.

    My last fast food binge was awhile ago and I ended up eating a whole pizza. Ugh. I actually came clean to my boyfriend on that though which I had never done before so it was a step in the right direction. I haven't had a fast food binge since.

    Cold sugary cereal is a weakness for me, so on a bad day, I know I sat down and ate an entire box of fruity pebbles in one sitting. And then an hour and a half later had another big bowl! <
    This girl can definitely put it away when she allows herself to!!!! :laugh:

    Corn dogs are a weakness of mine....especially if I go to a fair or carnival and you can get a foot long corn dog, deep fried

    I ate all of this at Thomas Keller's restaurant in Las Vegas. It is called croque madame... i entered it into the MFP site and it was way over 2300 calories... but totally worth it! :)

    Ok I'll admit it. This past Sunday my fiancee and daughter wanted to go to old country buffet for breakfast to make it worse when we went it was brunch so not only did we have a choice of breakfast items but also lunch. I won't say what I ate but all I know is I didn't want to move when I was done. I could have rolled home instead of hoping in the car. Was right back on track Monday mornin ;o)
