  • Last night after my 18 mile run, my wife went and bought me a pint of my favorite flavor of ice cream. I ate somewhere between 1/2 cup - 1 cup and put the rest back in the freezer. Usually ice cream is a binge food. Not last night!

  • Crepes - Great job overcoming the urge to binge! Rachel - Pre-making breakfast and packing my lunch the night before helps me too. Keep up the great work! Stay strong y'all!

  • Keep running fatboy.... and I did.
  • Seriously - I found that once they put me on prozac, then bumped up dosage to 60 mg a day, the whole food obsession began to fade away. Otherwise, I was thinking of food, weight, calories and running 24-7. It completely dominated my entire life.

  • Your writing style is entertaining. We binge on the same things - I can not allow peanut butter or granola bars in the house. They can start a 1000 - 1500 calorie binge in a heartbeat. And I agree with your post on being ashamed - it is the absolute worst feeling in the world to lose total control like we can around food.…

  • Tested my willpower purposely tonight. I have a Rice Krispies treat and 2 chocolate bars with me. I have no urge to eat them. These sweets would initiate a binge just a monthsgo. Let's see how I do tonight! I believe I can overcome the urge if one comes.
  • Good news from Doctor today - my body is now making testosterone again. (I know, its a guy thing in a mostly female forum). But due to extreme diet & restriction, my body had quit making it last October. This really helps with feelings of depression and being lethargic. So Its not really something to be "proud" of except…

  • Hey I'll add something here... Yesterday was my 18 mile training run day. And praise God, He gave me the strength and energy and endurance to run it. But what I am really happy about - usually long run days become excuses to rationalize a binge or overeating. But I didnt do that yesterday. I stayed mindful of my hunger…

  • You Wont Let Go by Michael W. Smith.
  • First, my prayers go out to you and your family. God will be near unto you, you are His daughter, and His heart grieves with you. Just 2 songs I would recommend - Michael W. Smith's "Healing Rain" & "Christ Be All Around Me." I hope you can find healing in Christ. As for the eating disorder, mine first started when I was a…
  • I would encourage balance - or atleast dont go all "atkins" on your diet. But I will say that I have been adding more and more protein - and protein does stay with you longer. But when I go too heavy on protein, my body starts cravings carbs - but of course, I run 50-70 miles a week, so carbs for energy are essential.

  • I'm a long time struggler as well. Twice I have lost as much as 100 pounds, and twice I ended up battling eating disorders. I have never been a "normal eater" and couldnt possibly list all my quirks. But binging is the absolute worst thing I have faced, and with it comes shame, regret, depression, embarrassment, etc. Glad…
