Bingers..

I'm a binger. You sound a lot like me. So many things set off a binge. And then I'm miserable. But the opposite is true when I eat healthy foods, I feel amazing! I'll friend you. Being accountable helps me. Anyone who wants the same can friend me too

I was just sitting here looking at yesterday's diary,feeling horribly guilty. Then when I went to Community and saw your post I as reminded again that I am not alne in this journey. Thanks for that reminder. Today WILL be a better day!

I am all about it here lately! Feel like I'm starting to lose control. I have come so far, and I don't want to lose momentum!! I'll add you too! :flowerforyou:

I'm one of you... :ohwell:

Think I'll join this thread. I've had three binge days, since saturday, felt incredibly guilty about them. Today is however the start to a new binge free journey as hard as its going to be.

I'll offer my support to you all, feel free to add me as a friend, so we can support each other.

I'm a "recovering" binger. I say recovering, because I don't believe that it ever goes away, you just learn how to deal with it a little differently.

Feel free to add me if you like, I can totally empathize! :-)

ahh yea this ismy number one problem!! add me please....one thingi figured out is I NEED HELP i need friends to call me on my crap..n help keep me on track..i think we are wayyyy more likely to succeed if we help each other

I went to couseling for binge eating for over 2 yrs. It is something that will never go away. I have found my triggers are when I am very tired or when things are going completely out of control in my life. You have to look at it the way an alcoholic looks at alcohol.....one day at a time, forgive yourself when it happens, find support and do your best at making the binges further and further apart. Don't get too hungry, log your food. These are all things that help me. I have to snack all day and made sure I have a snack in the evening.....it is tough, but the negative self talk and the "voices" inside your head are the main culpurate. You have to get those under control before you can get the eating under control.....you have to be nice to yourself! Forgive yourself! Once you can treat yourself like you treat your best friend is when you will start controlling your binges.....

I experience binging as well. I've pretty much managed to cut it out at work and stick to my meals and scheduled or planned snacks, but when I'm off work I get bored. The last week I've been at home recovering from two eye surgeries and have went over my calorie allowance twice this week. Maybe it would help to have some encouragement! I only have one friend on here so feel free to add me. I'm not your typical dieter. I don't listen to any hype, but I may ask advice from time to time.

I have an awful habit of binge eating on the weekends. I do forgive myself and move on. It's becoming less often and I am proud of myself for gaining more control of it as time has gone on. Never give up.

does it not make you feel bad knowing you are one weak human being who is not even able to control what you put into your mouth?

that alone would motivate me, just sayin

I am a binger. It's difficult to address as I am not viewed as overweight. Generally, I binge 2 days per week and sometimes more and then go to the other extreme on other days. I hope forcing myself to enter everything I eat (even on the "bad" days) will help me overcome this horrible habit I have developed. I'm disappointed in myself but strangely that feeling can even drive me to binge. It's a cycle that is not easily broken

Yups... I am the queen of binge eating. Please feel free to add me ..... that goes for anyone that needs the support. The more the merrier!

Definitely had some bingeing moments myself.

Getting support from others is great, talking and writing down my feelings and thoughts have made an incredible difference.

Fellow bingers, or even occasional binge eaters, even over-eaters: I strongly suggest checking out one or two OA (Overeaters Anonymous) meetings, just to get an outside perspective and hear other human beings struggle with this disease. I'm not a member, but I have been to meetings and found clarity to myself on WHY I binge rather than fix myself post binge or hate myself post binge.

Bingeing is an ADDICTION like drugs, like alchoholism. There are real emotions and thoughts that are more terrorizing than the actual binge. Bingeing is a symptom of what's really going on inside ourselves.

Binge-eating and over eating is NOT about control. We can't control CALORIES, CRAVINGS, BINGEING, or how our bodies respond to food. Binge eating comes down to choice, and I don't mean in regards to food either.


Feel free to add me for support and accountability :-)

What choices did you find were important to make Sukaera? I really enjoyed reading your post - thank you for sharing. :flowerforyou:
