Me:8 The binge: 9 Days binge free: 0 Have had a really bad time with it the past few days, the binge-shame spiral! I hate myself for doing it and yet I still do it - I've had my schedule changed the past few days which I think hasn't helped as I thrive on routine. I'm hoping I can get back on track tomorrow and build up a…

Me:8 The binge:7 Days binge free:0 So gutted - had a good little streak going too, treating it as a blip and I really hope I can get back on track tomorrow.

I'm so inspired by this and reading through it is encouraging to me to stay on track too. Good luck for tomorrow (I'm sure you won't need it though :wink: )

Me:8 The binge:6 Days binge free:7 Not sure about my maths previously, but am getting back on track - today was so hard though! Ended up at a food market which had lots of tasters and testers, nearly blew it all - but caught myself and logged what I had eaten too. I wonder if the urge to binge will go away soon, seems I'm…

Good for you! I've been going over my calorie goal recently, it's helping to avoid the binge by being a little more lenient which is the more sensible option. Good luck for tomorrow :smile: Me:7 The binge:6 Days binge free:6

Hey there, don't be hard on yourselves, what's done is done and tomorrow is a fresh start, - it seems to be the nature of the beast, it comes in swings of highs and perseverance and then just downright horrible lows. I'm sending you both the best. We've all been there, it does feel awful, but you will get back on track,…

I've had a few urges today and was able to push them away. I had a really strong feeling about a certain binge food of mine, then came to realise, it would only make me happy for two bites, then it'd just be guilt and mindless eating - it's not worth it - I'd already come so far throughout the day... I don't want to…

I have that sometimes, a food I'm not attached to will suddenly call my name! Well done for pulling it back though and sticking with a lighter dinner, it's easy to go 'screw it' and carry on with a binge but you turned it around even if it took 3 attempts, you STILL turned it around. :smile: Good for you for today :smile:…

I'm not able to seek professional advice, financial constraints, but I have recently got some literature to read and I'm starting to take it more seriously as a health related matter. It's something I may consider for the future though.

Me: 2 The binge:6 Days binge free: just one for now, but it feels like a huge step! Thanks for all the advice, I'm trying to celebrate small victories and make more manageable goals - it certainly helped with my mindset today. Good luck for tomorrow guys !

Hi there, Hope that you'll find the group useful, in my experience everyone on here has been really friendly and helpful. Fingers crossed that this group will be the start of you facing your problems :smile:

Thanks, it wasn't a massive binge and I'm feeling positive about today. Fingers crossed for us all :)

Congratulations! That's great news, you must feel so pleased to conquer a day that's usually a trigger, Me: 1 The binge:6 Days binge free: 0

I cracked and failed last night, weirdly I feel better for it? Does anyone else feel like the urge to binge is sometimes an itch to scratch that literally won't go away until it's fulfilled? It was not the worst binge and I feel more clear headed today, Mondays are always a positive start for me. Fingers crossed I can make…

I know that fear of it creeping up on you. Stay strong, if you can. Can you swim? That won't cause unnecessary impact on your ankle and although isn't as hardcore as a run or something, it's still exercise - will help you build your core too. Only if you can though, you mustn't push it too far, you don't want to hurt…

Thanks for all the support, halfway through day two and I'm feeling the pangs still, it's not easier today as I'd've hoped. I'm determined to stay strong, I know binging won't make me happy and I'd regret it 30 minutes later. I'm inspired by all your kind words and support though, which is pulling me through! :smile:

Thanks for your reply, it's been really good to hear from people, makes me feel less alone. For me binge eating is very secretive, and the people I've told and know about it still don't really understand it. I've been really spurred on from everyone's support, and I've had a binge free day today, I'm hoping it's the start…

Me: 1 The binge: 5 Days binge free: 1 I did it! First day of not binging - I'm hopeful tomorrow will feel easier

I wonder what it is about the three week mark? Thanks, I'm working on the forgiving of myself, it's easier said than done. Have been strong today, have had a few urges and felt like packing it in and succumbing to the binge call, but have resisted so far. I'm thinking of setting smaller goals. I'm aiming to get three days…

Hello there, I have a history of restrictive diets which have developed into a binge eating disorder, I'll friend you :smile:

June 2015 Me:0 The binge:5 Tomorrow is a new day (fingers crossed)

Amazing inspiration! Thanks for this!
