Thank you for your responses, they were helpful and reassuring! My blood sugar seems to generally be easily controlled with food, and I’m still kind of learning what foods do and don’t work for me. My fasting blood sugar is the main one I’m struggling with. It’s generally very close to range or in range, so I’ve been…

There's a binge eating disorder group on here. You should check it out! It's been pretty quiet lately but could be a great way to meet people experiencing similar issues.

I have been bingeing so much. It's pretty out of hand. I feel like I may hit a restrictive cycle soon though. My bingeing has become smaller in terms of quantity for the most part though, which is good. Not silly about the gym thing...I had an issue with working out in front of people for YEARS. It was so intense that I…

Hi everyone, Just want to check in and let everyone know how things are going. Looks like this forum has been super quiet! I've been doing PHP for over a week and a half now. It's been really tough. I've been bingeing a ton, because I feel like my ED feels really threatened. Since I can't restrict when I'm there, it seems…

Up 0.6 since last Saturday, not too bad. I binged pretty badly last Saturday and Sunday then restricted the rest of the week. I know my body was still catching up and stabilized from the week priors rapid gain. Not setting goals for next week. Starting treatment tomorrow and imagine not weighing myself will be one of the…

Yum! I had cheesecake every day last week haha. I'm doing okay. I haven't binged since my family left (Sunday). I am likely falling back into a restrictive cycle like I was in previously, since this is how I generally operate. Although usually cycles last for longer, so it's kind of strange. I met with the treatment…

That's funny! I don't remember the setting of my dream, but I remember there were sands of baked goods everywhere and I remember gaining momentum and literally shoving fistfuls in my mouth.
-
I had a really intense nightmare (or dream?) that I was bingeing. So many baked goods, it was amazing. And there was this special pound cake called "desi pound cake" (figment of my imagination) and it was SO GOOD. I'm happy though. I used to have problems with eating in my sleep so I guess I expected that such a vivid…

Can relate to most of this post a lot. Definitely have a love/hate relationship with food, and being at my parents house triggers binges for sure. I would say I have social anxiety but I do not have agoraphobia. How long are you visiting your family for? Is it a day thing or longer than that?

Hi everyone, The last few weeks have been very busy for me so I haven't been posting as much as I had been previously. I graduated last Monday, and after about a month in a restrictive cycle I found myself back in a bingeing cycle. I think a lot of it was because I knew my family would be come and we would be eating out a…

It's seriously the worst. I'm pissed because I didn't even binge that much, I just consistently overate so I guess I was expecting the damage to be less than it was. My weight hasn't been this high in about a year and I feel like it's just gonna keep doing up. I'm so glad my family is gone and hopefully now I can get a…

Up 10.8 pounds since last Sunday. I'm not happy about it, but it also could have been much worse. That was mostly a result of consistent overeating but I didn't binge a ton. This week I need to stabilize, then hopefully lose next week. I feel disgusting and don't fit into anything and am really swollen and puffy.
-
That's great that the teachers seem to know so much about it and that they've connected you with helpful resources. It sounds like having a better understanding of what's going on will be helpful in better understanding how to effectively communicate etc.

He is such a cutie! And wow they really get real graduation wear in preschool nowadays haha!

Been bingeing bonstop. Just had a bunch of doughnuts and chocolate for breakfast . Gonna be eating out a lot through Sunday since family is in town and I'm using it as an excuse to just binge. I'm trying to let myself just eat what I want when we go out so I don't stuff my face in between, but haven't been very successful.…

You're a great dad!

I've been bingeing daily for a couple of weeks again. Graduation was yesterday, and I binged all the way up to it. Im so swollen in all of my photos. I've been bingeing consistently ever since. Not sure if I should just give myself a free week since my family is gonna be here. I basically want to just not binge between…
-
Thanks everyone, I appreciate it a lot. I'm feeling bingey today and I think it's because my parents are coming so I know we will be eating out. My plan is to allow myself to indulge in what I want when I eat out, if I can avoid bingeing before and after meals. I hope everyone else is doing well!
-
I spent all day bingeing yesterday. I woke up completely swollen, my eyes barely open haha. I am graduating tomorrow. My parents get in today, which means for the next week I'll be eating out a lot. I think that's why I've been bingeing so much, is the anticipation. At this point I'm gonna just try not to binge in between…

I can't stop bingeing

Up 2.3 "expected weight" although actual weight is a lot higher. This week there's no way I can set a goal. I'm back in a bingeing cycle and my family is coming to visit. My goal will be to not engage in anticipatory bingeing or post meal binges. I will try to maintain my weight and be more active. I'm going to see if I…

This probably isn't helpful, but maybe you could take some in a to-go box and weigh it at home?
-
It went really well! And no binge so far. I didn't eat at all at the event, thankfully. Otherwise I'm sure I would have gotten carried away, although I wouldn't have binged in public. The presentation was about a mobile health navigator program that I'm designing for a clinic that caters specifically to survivors of sex…

You hit the nail on the head so many times, I can relate to this so much!
-
I'm really anxious today. I have the final presentation of my grad school career and I'm really nervous. I spent all day bingeing yesterday and now I'm bloated and my face is swollen. I'm unprepared for the presentation and I'm terrible at public speaking. There's probably going to be food there and because I'll be nervous…

I binged a lot today. Got to work and nobody had touched the treats I binged on on Monday so I took it upon myself to eat them all. Then my supervisor bought me a milkshake. So naturally I came home and binged some more. Right now I'm gorging myself on Reese's pieces and milk duds. My goal is to not binge tomorrow through…
