Happy Friday
Hello and good morning, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! How is everyone doing today?
-
This was the picture that became my wake up call.
I believe I have referenced a picture my wife sent me, this is it. The picture of me in the black shirt was before my daughter was born. The picture of me in the green lantern shirt is from a year ago. My wife sent this to me, and it was the first time I realized that something was not right, and I had not really noticed…

New and in need of support!
Hi there! I'm in serious need of some supportive friends. This is a big step for me just admitting I have a problem. I've always struggled with food and have been a yoyo dieter since high school. After I had my daughter in 2013 I decided to really change my lifestyle to keep up with her. Started counting calories and…

What the...?
After so many binge free days, there was yesterday. Waiting in line for the concert, surrounded by teens, sugar, and mass undirected hype, I caved. Not terribly, but let's be real. Two doughnuts too many is still two doughnuts too many. But since we are being real, it was half of an enormous bag of trail mix. Today?…

Cupcake or oatmeal
I was planning to eat oatmeal, but there's a cupcake in the fridge that I have the compulsion to eat. What are some ways you fight the compulsion that have worked?

Newbie!

Introduction
Hi i am new to myfitnesspal and decided to make an account because i had a binge eating episode just yesterday. I've been dealing with binge eating for almost a year now and although i thought i was done with it come the new year, ive binged a handful of times by now. At times i feel hopeless. A few friends and my family…

Anticipatory eating
Am I the only one who does this? When I have a big meal coming up or lunch/dinner plans, I get anxious about it derailing me. I then binge in anticipation of the meal, overeat at the meal, and then binge afterwards. As a result, I try to avoid any kind of social eating but it is inevitable. I'm going to dim sum on Friday…

Thankful Thursday
Good morning or night depending on where you are in the world. What are you thankful for today? I am thankful for my amazing job, and my wife who is very loving and supportive of the struggle I am going through. I am also thankful for every person in this group. I hope I am doing you all justice, and that people are…

Sweet tooth
Sorry for all of the postings, but I've been having a hard time lately and this is a welcome distraction. How do you all deal with a sweet tooth? Do you substitute healthy alternatives, or do you go cold turkey to break the cravings? I consider myself a salty tooth, but when I get in these binge cycles I usually have…

New to the group
I am new to the group and I've struggled with several eating disorders in my life, from binge-eating as a coping mechanism as a child to bulimia in college. I am currently in recovery but still struggle with BED urges due to stress in life. I am currently in school and doing a research project on the effectiveness of…

BED.....dealing with it.
First and hardest step is to get the "diet" out of your life. You are not longer on a "diet". This has been my deal. But, I have reached the point to finally burn my old weight watcher food journals. And to get rid of the many different programs I have. I already got rid of the many diet books. I have such freedom now. I…

What's your Kryptonite ?
Mine is sweets. Tasty, salty snacks, I have some trouble moderating.... but generally, I can stop. Sweets, not so much. When I was logging... for a while, I just blamed it all on Oreos. Not that I always binged on Oreos... and I think there are much tastier cookies out there... but, I'd just estimate the calorie damage,…

Good Morning

TGIF
Happy Friday everyone. I know for some the weekends can be a challenge, just remember you are not alone, this group is here if you need to reach out and talk to someone when you start to get the urge to binge. So do not think you are ever truly alone. Even though we may be states away, we can still help and support each…

Check in
Hello so since being diagnosed with binge eating disorder I was given Vyvanse (it is dual purposes for me as an ADD and BED med). Since taking this is for the first time in years I feel fully in control of my eating. I no longer have the overwhelming sugar cravings I once had. I have reduced the amount I eat on a daily…

Eating Out
We are getting together with friends this weekend and eating out, probably at a steakhouse. What do I order that will satisfy me without breaking the calorie bank?

*Rant* about BED v/s other EDs.
I AM NOT DERIDING OTHER EATING DISORDERS!!! Disordered eating in all of it's forms is a nightmare to live with. My mother has fought with bulemia for decades. It's horrible and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. With that said.... I've been doing a lot of reading about BED lately in an effort to find help. Over and over I'm…

Happy Wednesday
Good morning one and all. Sorry if I post too much but this is the first group I have ever created, and with that it makes me feel more personally responsible, and makes me want to see each and every member succeed. But I have a feeling if people keep joining I may be adding leaders to the group as well. If this is…

Come here post how you are feeling, what you are going through, daily triumphs, or just if you feel like you need someone to talk to. I check this site many times throughout the day. If you are looking to pair up and find a closer relationship post here…

Recipes
Hi all, I am not sure if you know this but I am a professional, trained chef and have been working in the industry for over 15 years at this point in my life. I know many people get flustered with menu planning, recipes, or just get burned out eating the same things all the time. I am offering my help to those who need it.…

There is a solution...
My name's Michele, I am a compulsive overeater. I have been in a recovery program for about 30 yrs. Both your stories remind me that I've lived and experienced the frustrating loss of the ability to STOP eating...I have learned over the years that I have an allergy to certain foods that trigger that compulsion. Fortunately…
