I've done the "clean sweep" before. When I knew a binge was coming, I would collect binge foods, and put them in the trash. It works, even though it can be expensive. The problem though is my son gets mad cause there is no food in the house. But he does understand since he is in the medical career field. I like the idea of…

Good for you! APPLAUSE!

Posted: 01.24.15 Dennis - 20 Binge Beast - 3 I took a desperate step yesterday to put an end to the binge beast & night time grazing. Even though I am not supposed to weigh myself, I did it anyhow. Being obsessive compulsive and very driven - the scales became a motivation to me to drive that number down. I got as low as…

Re-read Brain over Binge. Skimmed back over it actually. Mostly to reinforce the principals that began recovery. I look back: 1. I no longer severely restrict calories. 2. I exercise a ton, but do it now for training & fitness, not for burning calories. 3. My binges are less than 1/2 the calories they used to be. 4. I no…

I was called fatboy by people in passing cars. I kept running. Now I run marathons and lost over 80 pounds.

Yes. Im 48, and was obese for more than half of my life.

I can say that on days I don't plan my typical workouts, the lack of endorphin's, coupled with my already low testosterone does result in increased depression, which also can lead to self-medication by means of binging or at least over-eating binge foods & especially carbs. I think you are on to something.

I was prescribed prozac for bulimia, severe anxiety & depression. Prozac does have some side effects. I cant say it helped with the restrict - binge - purge cycle, but it did help with anxiety. My binging didnt stop until I quit restricting.

Very impressive.

Are you wearing the right shoes based upon arch and pronation? 3 things that have helped me: 1 - Rolling foot on frozen ice bottle, 2 - The Stair Step lowering heels stretch, and 3 - I have seen a PT who aggressively massages the arch and heel. She also taped me differently than I have been taped before which also helped.

Thanks for feedback, very helpful. I understand now. Because I run in the evening, and the miles and intensity varies, I am going to have a TDEE recalculated based on higher degree of activity. ANd that way it averages out over the week. Thanks!

Two books that really helped me... Brain Over Binge by Kathryn Hansen Ditching Diets by Gillian Riley And also getting with a counselor.
