I log it but as quick calories....dont want to share with anyone the ridiculous stuff I binge on, but I do want to know the penalty....lol0

I log it! It's not going to "make it go away" if you don't, LOL!! Aand for me, its a good way to know just exactly how much I am consuming, so next time I might think twice before the binge! :drinker:0

when i first started here i didn't but what i've come to decide is that if i eat it, i log it....no matter what. another thing i've done is to make my food log public for my friends, makes me stop sometimes and say do i really want all those people knowing that i've eaten this much food. it helps me stay on track.
THIS exactly .... Im embarassed of others to see it .. so it helps me0 -
mostly yes. today and tomorrow no!, lol0

I haven't in the past, but have just started to (new to MFP). For me, this is a way of "owning the binge" instead of pretending it didn't happen. I like the fact that I can review weekly calories, so including the binge gives me a better overall picture of how I am doing and how often binges are occuring, especially since one of my goals is to work on binge/emotional eating patterns.0

I want to log it, but honestly, when i go for the gold, im munching so much i don't even know what i ate or the amounts of by the time its all said and done.
I would like to log it for shame purposes. prob would be the best motivator i've got.0 -
I log it, otherwise it's too easy to not be accountable....and then you wonder why you're not losing weight? Plus, I agree with an earlier post that brought up the statement.....if you continue to eat like this you'll weigh <YIKES> in X weeks.....0

I log it because sometimes by logging you realize that by f*ing up the day you didn't really f* up your whole diet...
I'm an all or nothing gal and if I f* u I figure I f*ed everything up, ya know?
By logging I realize I didn't screw up my whole world and everything will be right the next day. Helps keep me honest. I have to record everything that goes in my mouth!
This is soooo true. I can't tell you how often I think "oh i ate so bad" and when i log it i'm like...not too bad nothing to cry about or wreak my whole diet over. It is actually amazing how that works for me.0 -
some days I don't but I am striving to be honest so today I did, I feel like an absolute pig and I hope it helps me when I look at it.0

the first time I binge, im never tracking my food again.0
-
I log the good, the bad and then ugly.
I have logged my 4.5k food intake, If I ever had the displeasure of topping that, it'll still be on my diary lol0 -
I write a little note and say oh well another day I messed up. All this week I messed up. Friends and Holidays will do it everytime!0

I log it - makes me not want to do that again0

Yes... I haven't binged in a long time but used to quite frequently and I think it was something that I needed to see. In fact, here you go... probably the worst time of my eating life. I'd hit goal, yet was still attempting 1500 a day, plus running 10K every other day, plus weight lifting and a very stressful job which lead to these three weeks:
It still shocks me to see those stats now and it's something I work hard at not repeating, so for me, logging every morsel on a binge has been an invaluable tool to beating it.
So awesome!!! I love it!
I started logging mine too...I want to see the bad...and my friends are super supportive.0 -
no but i DEFINITELY should. its the habit im trying desperately to break0
-
Yup, I log the good the bad and the very ugly binges.0
-
I do log it if/when I binge. I have the app on my phone so I try to make myself log it while I'm eatting so I know how badly I'm doing...it's sometimes a pain but it has helped keep my binges smaller than I'm sure they would have ended up0
-
Yup. Gugh!0
