I understand your feelings.....I often want to zone out while I'm bingeing as well. We're supposed to to meet the need of the emotion that we're feeling, but, what do you do with sadness besides sit with it and feel it? And that can be painful. I'll pray you find the strength to just be with your sadness without using food…

Ok, I admit it, I had a binge.

The book sounded good so I went to Amazon and read the first few pages.....sounds great, so I ordered it....should be here by Wednesday....thanks! Donna~

May 6th Me 3 Binge 3

Have had a good couple of days after my last 3 day binge. I let a smaller weight loss than expected, disappoint me and got into the "what the heck" mentality. I'm going to be very careful not to do that again in the future. I am working on accepting any weight loss as good....I have upped my calories from 1300 to…

Exactly! I just binged for 3 days because of these same reasons. I'm trying to learn to combat them but it is very difficult.

I understand what you mean about something setting you off. I lost 1.25 lbs this week when I thought I should've lost 2-3 lbs and I bought into the "what the heck" mentality and binged for three days. Now, as usual, I'm regretting it as I'm back on track and having to lose all the weight I gained. Keep the faith!

I can totally relate! I eat for taste too...I can salivate just thinking about the food I want....lol. I preplan my food too. I'm not good at just winging it either. I haven't been too good about the unexpected popping up but I am learning. Going out to a restaurant gets me every time. I always try to find the restaurant…

Thank you! Do you know why your ankles hurt? Mine hurt for years and I had no idea why until a new nurse practioner said she thought I had "collapsed ankles" which, after a visit to the ortho doc, turned out to be true but called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or PTTD. I had braces made and now they don't hurt so…

Start copying here......... Ok, I admit it, I had a binge. Date of binge : April 28, 2013 Time of binge : 5:30 pm Location of binge : longhorn restaurant Body language during binge (e.g. Sitting, standing, slumped, tense) : sitting Company kept (alone, friends, family, partner etc) : Approximate calories consumed during…

I will do the challenge as well....Here we come May 1st! Donna~

It takes me up to a week sometimes, especially if it was salty stuff. I weigh 290,8 lbs so maybe that's why it takes me longer, I don't know. I used to eat whatever I wanted after weigh-in on Tuesday nights but then it would take me all week to get back to where I was and I was getting nowhere, so I've stopped doing that.…

I understand the "habitual munching" after dinner. I do the same thing. Sometimes it leads to a binge, sometimes not. I have a planned snack then brush my teeth and my husband locks the refrigerator. It works most of the time. Good luck! G - That must of been tough bingeing like that. I'm sure that all of those factors did…

I, too, have insomnia and have a terrible time with middle of the night bingeing. I don't buy any trigger foods and we lock the refrigerator and my husband keeps the key at night. It's very, very hard and getting some support, in person, would be a really good idea. And we'll support you all we can! Donna~

I had a terrible time from 3 pm on yesterday...right through until I went to bed. I finally gave in and popped a bag of popcorn. When I looked at the huge bowl I asked myself...why? why are you going to eat all this? I wasn't even hungry. So, I had two handfuls and gave the rest to my husband. I've been doing so well, I…

I think that is a wonderful idea. My husband locks the refrigerator at night for me and he hides his snacks. I have been pretty successful doing these things. A couple of times the fridge hasn't been locked but I've been able to stay away. It's great that your boyfriend is so supportive

Hi I think that's a really good technique....I'm going to try it. I can't keep salty/carby things around either....lol Donna L.

Hi "Brain over Binge" does not appear to be available on Kindle....I would've like that too. How did you make out last night at the restaurant? Donna L.

Chibea, I could've written your post. I just joined the group recently after learning that my problem with food was called Binge Eating....I didn't know and I've done it since I was 5 years old...I used to get up during my nap when everyone else was sleeping, and eat anything I could find. I just finished gaining 20 lbs…

Hi My husband doesn't sabotage me but he is definitely an enabler. He always eats huge portions and brings me huge portions as well. Then, he wants snack food constantly. I don't buy it, but I will give in during the evening and he will go out and get it. I realize, as the previous poster said, that what I eat is my…

Thanks for the book tip! I find that I do much better when I've eaten enough throughout the day....it really helps. Donna L.

What's the name of that app? I'd like to get it....I wonder if they have it for Kindle Fire. Good job on stopping a potential binge....day five is great...I'm on day 4. Keep up the good work!

I try to get right back on a regular eating schedule....even though I don't feel like it. I do drink lots of water but not an excess 8-10 glasses at least. I try to think about what I was feeling right before the binge...what the problem was and what I could have done differently to avoid bingeing. Then, I forgive myself…

"When things don't go as I planned".....that's a big trigger for me. Especially if supper can't be when and what I expected, I'm tempted to just give up and eat whatever I want and feel that I deserve to. I understand the mindset!

It is so different for everone...this weighing thing. For me, I do better if I weigh in daily. It doesn't upset me and I need to see that number. It orients me to reality and I tend to ignore/avoid/be oblivious to, reality. I am morbidly obese and you wouldn't think it would be easy to avoid knowing how much I weigh, but I…

You can do it again....it's just that eating monster inside you that's telling you that you can't. Tell him to take a hike and take all of his negative stuff with him. Try to get a regular pattern of eating going...,.you know, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack and then log everything single thing you eat. You…

I find that if I get physically hungry and my planned food isn't immediately available, I tend to binge and then once I get going of course....you know the picture. The most important thing is to get back on track immediately. You probably will fall again but then you just get up again.....you only fail when you stay down.…

Binge Free by Robert Dave Johnston is excellent with a recovery program. I have it in Kindle form but I think you can get it paperback as well. Donna L.

There's a great Kindle Book (I think you can get it in paperback form as well) called Binge Free by Robert Dave Johnston that is excellent....it talks about the obsession factor. Donna L.
