What was your WORST binge ever?

Not in one night but in a weeks time-Five Guys Cheeseburger & Fries, A large order of Popeyes onion rings, chinese food, pizza All of the good stuff I'm afraid.

Oh I could go on an on with this one, but my worst are probably:

- ordering two medium pizzas with the full intention of eating a whole pizza one day and the other one the next
-going to a greasy spoon that would serve fries along with fried mushrooms. I would order fried mushrooms and a gyros with extra sauce and sauce on the side, go home, and eat every last piece of gyros, mushroom & fry covered in tzatziki sauce
-ordering from restaurants pretending I'm ordering for two.

My lowest point is when I ordered from a place called Leona's. Their food is HUGE. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich with bacon, avacado, cheese, the works with a side of fries, and a side of lasagna. I sat there with all the food open in front of me, desperately shoveling food into my mouth. Every bite was a huge sense of satisfaction and shame all rolled into one. I was so disgusted with myself and I will always remember that meal and that feeling.

Oh I could put alot on here.

MacDonalds Binge: Either a 20 package of nuggets and 2 large fries with honey sauce. or MCChicken and 10 pack nuggets 2 large fries.
Or KFC Binge..I'd get a bucket of 10 basically a family meal eat all the white meat and the skin off the dark meet pieces and the fries and side salads.
Chinese Binge: enough for a family of 4...chicken balls, 2 things of chicken fried rice, chop suey and garlic ribs.
Junk food Binge: 2 big bags of chips, large bag of m&M's and 2 icecream sandwiches.
Pizza as well..medium pizza with a side of chicken fingers and fries.


It is no wonder I was 390lbs...it is a wonder I wasn't 500! Disgusting! Thank god for OA and my band

mmmm i wanna fall of the wagon with you

Haha, well I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment but hopefully I'll stay away from that insanity

20 chicken mcnuggets...to myself. Aggh @_@

Back when I was Vegan, I would down jars of peanut butter, so much that eventually I developed a food allergy to nuts and can no longer have any. It was a very valuable experience going into anaphylaxis and having difficulty breathing, etc. that everything should be in moderation. And now, I can no longer eat nuts.

Two fully loaded Chipotle burritos. One was to eat on the way home the other I ate once I got there followed by a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Sooo delicious yet so unhealthy, like 3 days worth of food.

Oh my gosh. I feel like I am not alone in this. Binging has always been an issue for me, even as a child. I still struggle with night time binging and that is what is holding my newest weight loss attempt back. Day time is not usually as much of an issue.
A typical binge used to be (certainly not the largest, just a typical day) a KFC chicken dinner with 4 pieces of chicken, fries, gravy, salads etc and some sort of large cake desert. I would then eat 5-8 more pieces of chicken in the evening after it became cold along with a large bag of M&M's and a large bag of chips or cheese popcorn. This was on top of a regular, but not low calorie, breakfast and lunch. I could probably eat up to 8000 calories on a bad day I still could if I am not very careful.
I sympathize with others who have the issue of wanting to binge before starting a "diet" because we feel we won't get to eat these foods again. This happened just last week. The games my mind plays is 99% of my problem

theres been too many to remember lol! id say my worst one must be like a whole large dominos pizza with 8 garlic and herb dips, tub of B&J and like some sort of sweets & alcohol with it! the entire days calories must have been over 10,000.

lol no wonder i used to be 282 pounds :P I can still eat a whole dominos pizza no problem tho! hhahha just dont do it on a regular basis anymore :P

Ohhhohoho you're funny. This is a great thread

My worst was probably a whole back of salt and vinegar chips to myself.. one of those humongous ones. And they I had dinner. Ha!

I don't necessarily see it as a "binge", but others might.... We used to go to chinese buffets and I would do about 3-4 plates full with shrimp and lobster.... shrimp with butter & red pepper, fried shrimp, and lobster with mayo.. Totally unhealthy. Last time I went there, I was so full and so thirsty.. Drank a liter of water and threw it all up. (I was just so full, it got the best of me...not intentionally)

Everytime we ordered pizza, I ate half of the pizza, plus a bag of Sour Cream & Cheddar chips (a small bag you buy in a gas station)

In a day...this is what I'd consume:
Breakfast: Jimmy Dean: Sausage/Egg/Cheese Crossaint/Muffin
Lunch: Subway: Oven roasted chicken on wheat w/ Pepper jack cheese, lettuce, light mayo
Dinner: Anything fast food....Fazolis: Ultimate sampler or pizza from Papa Johns (usually sausage and mushrooms Would eat about 1/2 of it ).
Real Hacienda
(Our friday ritual: mexican restaurant which consisted of tortilla chips, grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, melted white cheese, refried beans...could never eat the whole thing...usually about half along with a tossed salad: lettuce, sour cream and a slice of tomato...
or a HUGE slice of grilled chicken topped with a lot of melted white cheese and onions with mexican rice and pico de gallo..along with a tossed salad which consisted of lettuce, sour cream, and slice of tomato..also served with 3 soft tortillas!)
ALONG with 3 bags of tortilla chips, 3 salsas, 1 cheese dip, 1 guacamole dip... (we usually ate 1 bag and half the day of...ate the whole cheese dip and guacamole and 1 1/2 salsa....mostly me) The rest would be saved for the next day. :x

One time I had a whole box of weetabix, I think that's like 24 weetabixes? Topped with loads of sugar as well. I remember looking down and seeing my stomach expand

You are absolutely not alone. We had a potluck at my work last week, and normally I stay AWAAAAY from the tables and do not even glance over to see what delights I am "missing out on." But I gave in and let myself have some of whatever I wanted. I realized at a certain point I wasn't even eating the piece(s) of cake and other desserts because I WANTED them... I wanted to EAT them because I never have sugar or any other junk food anymore.

Most days I honestly do not feel deprived with my low-carb lifestyle, but sometimes it gets to me, and I really miss the days when I just ate without abandon and ENJOYED THE HECK out of all kinds of unhealthy things. The fact of the matter is that dieting is 90% willpower/effort/conscience thought and 10% actually eating better things. Our brains play games with us constantly. But looking in the mirror today (or looking at my "fat" pictures haha) are enough to remind me that what I am doing with my lfie is waaay more important than getting to indulge every single day.

Apparently today...the damn milkshake from Chick Fil A....banana pudding, small size is 780 calories! WTF?!??!

oh gosh I could kill a whole frozen pizza, bag of doritos, taco bell!

Well I have to say this thread makes me feel not so alone

I would say that some of the examples on here probably qualify just as "overeating" if they comprised, say, eating one high-calorie item or meal... To me *personally*, I feel like a "binge" is really marked more by specific triggers, a complete feeling of loss of control, and the weird "high" that accompanies it.

The whole pizzas followed by dessert, etc. I can totally relate. ugh.

While I can't quantify the worst binge I ever had in terms of caloric amount, I can definitely say *some* of the worst binges qualitatively were when I found myself eating really weird/gross food -- microwave meals (like, pot roast, and other nasty stuff), flavored instant oatmeal RAW OUT OF THE PACKET, an entire sleeve of sugar-free cookies that in a normal mindset taste like sand, dry melba toast, etc.

It's embarrassing to type almost but I feel like that's when, holy ****, you're really binging for a screwed up emotional reason -- when unappetizing food comes into the picture.

I took a while to really get a handle on it, but if anyone else struggling with this, I'm here for ya! :flowerforyou:
