The day after eating items that aren't as Heath for you tend to be hard.... Your body is unbalanced and trying to resolve itself and purify itself. It's easy to mistake those unsettling feelings for the urge to eat more, I know I do. Stay strong.... You got this!

Me-12 Food- 4 Realized I don't care for the word binge. It is like submitting to my weaknesses, has a poor connotation. Instead, I am just using food....I just ate too much food. Helps me feel a little more empowered to know I can be in control over food versus such a strong action of binging.

I messed up last night and want to binge so bad today. I just had a mini binge, why can't I control myself? It's painful both to be out of control and in control....it's so weird.

Me -11 Binge-3 Set appointment to see counselor for eating issues

Really wanted to binge last night...was anxiously waiting for everyone to go to bed so I could....but then I made the best choice.....I went to bed! No binging occurred. Yay! Still wanted to this morning...snacked a little but controlled myself and so far have done well today. Hoping to report a me-9 and binge-1 by…

Me- 8 Binge- 1 I almost just had a binge. No one was home and I was feeling to rush of being able to sneak around and eat crap food. I started with a few almonds, then a few pieces of chocolate and thought....WAIT...STOP.....there are so many other strong people on MFP that have not binged. If they can do it, so can I.…

You are not the only one. Be proud of the days you havent felt the need to binge. What made those days so great? Use other's as motivation.....Use yourself as motivation. You got this!!!

Love it! Thats the way to do it. Be so proud of yourself and know you are serving as an inspiration for others!!

Me-6 Binge- 1

I agree. I try to have a mantra for each day noting the sense of pride I can gain physically, emotionally, and mentally if I eat well. It's just a vicious cycle for me. I would like to put an end to that. I appreciate your support! You are all my inspiration!

Me-5 Binge- got me today.....darn it ......1 Need to have zero binges this month. That was my goal. Why am I so easy to cave.

Karen, I see you have made huge strides with your goals! Congrats! What an inspiration!

February was my month to love myself and I also set this goal. I start each day with a mantra and a full glass of water and some yoga. Trying to respect my body and not allow simple temptations to defeat me. I'm on this wagon! Me-hoping today will be day 5 Binge-0

I tend to be busy during the day and out and about so much that I rely on what I pack. I also try not to eat much during the day to keep my calories down. This leads me to either binge at night or have a full day of binging when I am home. It's become a real problem. I try to get a hold of it and do well for about two…

Thanks so much. I appreciate the info.

You both are so great! Thank you so much. I would love the support of some strong females like you. I am new to this website and not sure what the next step is, so just let me know....I can make my food diary public or visible to you guys?

I dont know, on my food portion, for my goal calories, it states 1200. Then, when I exercise it increases, of course......

Thanks for your reply. Can you explain you weekends where you "cycle up calories"? Do you mean you burn excess on the weekends cause you have more time?

Watch the raisins. They add up quickly to high calorie, high carb, high sugar......high high high

I do things like this as well. Add: lemon slices, orange slices, pineapple tidbits, herbal teas without sugar but use stevia or something instead....keep a pitcher in your fridge with the water prepared and flavored, that may help. I also think having a really fun glass or water bottle to drink from is encouraging.…

I like the tea....and stevia. Yes, I do the same. Right now in fact....white pear tea in my big thermos. Delicious...but I really want to go back to the kitchen and nibble.

Thanks everyone for the posts. I have a 1200 calorie setting, plus some calories based on what I exercise and earn back. I exercise about 5 days a week. I eat really well. I have digestive problems, so only eat wholesome foods and avoid processed foods. For breakfast I eat two eggs sunny side up with some steamed…
