Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted in this group. The last time I posted was in March about to go on a vacation and feeling that logging was not working for me as it was causing me to fixate too much on food. Unfortunately it seems that not logging hasn't helped either. I have been binging on/off ever since and…

Hello... I am in the same boat. I'll do well for a few days even a few weeks, then relapse again into binge eating behavior until I can finally turn it around again. Add me if you want some mutual support to beat this together!

Hi guys, just checking in. I binged the last couple of days and also skimped on exercise. Didn't log. I finally managed to get some activity in today and reign in my eating. Sadly I think calorie counting is not doing me any favors. It just makes me focus too much on eating, when I just really need to be distracted by…

@MadDogManor - Congrats on having a productive & healthy day! I had some binge impulses in the morning. I ate a lot of food before it was even noon and past the point of fullness. Fortunately I managed to calm myself down and convince myself the day was not ruined... I ate light snacks at 2-3 hour intervals over the rest…

Hi tsikkz. I'm here. Stay strong! You have made such *amazing* progress. I just checked out your profile and pictures, and you look absolutely stunning. I love your sense of fashion and your hair! Is it really a shade of purple? So jealous. :) Do you have anything planned for the afternoon? Maybe you can make your Oscar…

That poor bear! You're right, that story is kind of reassuring in a weird way, i.e. knowing that we're all just creatures in nature struggling to do our best given our environments. :)

KenosFeoh - I know how hard it is to be in sight of the kitchen! I live in a tiny studio apartment so the kitchenette is right there at all times. Unfortunately, I work a job right now with unstable hours so I can't really set an eating schedule like that. However, I know when I worked a more stable job in the past, I did…

Staceysuperfly - I laughed out loud at your profile picture. You have such an inspiring personal story! Emwalker - Exactly how I feel ... At this point, I'm more trying to stop the train wreck that is binging instead of hitting a low calorie goal, but I notice that when I eat until reasonably full, my calories tend to fall…

Thanks for your support! Fianna - Your tattoos are absolutely stunning! And your wedding picture -- I die, I die. :) WildcatMom - Thanks so much for bringing this up! I actually just looked up Overeaters Anonymous meetings in my area today. I think I'll work up the courage to go next week; MFP is a great resource but it…

inspiredsue - Wow, that really is an inspiring story. You look so happy in your exercise gear! Best wishes for your recovery. classnstyle - Luxurious bubble baths sound like an amazing alternative to a binge. I don't have a bathtub, so I'll need to find another indulgence. I think maybe part of the problem my list of…

karendee - Good luck with your therapy session tomorrow. I've never seen one myself, but from what I've heard, it seems like a good therapist can be a huge, huge help in the battle against disordered eating. That said, it sounds like you are having success with your eating and exercise right now. I hope that continues to…

MissDeAnne - Thanks, I've added you as well. That's a great point about the water, but it's one of those things that slips my mind when it's in binge mode. I need to find some way to force myself to drink first. I do mistake dehydration for hunger, so that's something to work on. dkutnyak - I'm trying to work more fruits…

Hi. Thanks so much for your kind words -- it brought me to tears. I'm in my twenties, a period where I'm still trying to figure how who I am / what I should do, which so easily becomes tangled up with body image and self worth issues. I read your profile and it brought a smile to my face. Your lifestyle sounds so quirky…

I usually eat a reasonable amount in front of others. Sure, I'll overeat / overindulge at parties where everybody else is doing the same, but I won't have an actual binge the way I do at home. When I'm at home, I'll graze for hours, taking in thousands of calories at a time. I sometimes look forward to it, then of course…

Hi everyone, I'm reposting my introduction here, hoping to find some kindred spirits. I'm a female in my mid-twenties with a binging problem which has become much worse recently. I often feel sad and broken and don't know where to turn. I know this is connected to some recent stressors (looking for a new job while dealing…

Hi everyone, I'm a female in my mid-twenties. Also an emotional eater looking to get back on the wagon of eating right + exercise. Please add me! :)
