Introductions
Hi everyone!! Welcome to the group :) A little bit about myself: I'm Megan, 23 years old, graduate student who's going to be a social worker, and a binge eater. I have been binging since I was a little kid. I've fluctuated an average of 35 pounds every other year, all because of binging. I'll lose, gain, etc. It's a…

What are your binges like?
I usually have an emotional trigger, stand up in my kitchen, rapidly consume thousands of calories, and feel overwhelming guilt after. I'm a serious binger.

Cardio vs. Strength Training
I've been focusing in strength training and low intensity cardio-like a half hour of cardio per day, as opposed to 45 min-an hour of cardio and minimal strength training. Will this make me lose weight more slowly since I'm doing less cardio?! Thanks!!!

Clearly...
I couldn't make it. Great job guys!!! I def want to do the next one!!! When's the next one?!?! :) -Megan

Summer
So...who has seen a significant difference in their body/weight in three months?! I'm starting to panic. I know I won't be at my goal weight, but I'd like to lose a lot before summer. Tell me some success stories please!!!

What's your approach to weight loss???
I've been looking at Fitspo on Instagram. It's really motivating, but I'm really struggling with what approach to health I want to take. Fitspo motivates me to train harder and eat as healthy as possible, but I've taken this approach over and over again and the binge always ends up winning. I can lose 40 pounds and end up…

Months of Binging
So I've been a binger for most of my life, with periods of weight loss, but... I lost ten pounds a few months ago. Since the end of August I've been in a binging rut. On days that I don't binge I "mess up" my good eating by eating crappy foods. I don't even know how much weight I gained over the past few months, but I am…

Out of control
My binging has been out of control for the past few months. My pants were loose now they're tight. I'm afraid I"m going to wake up and be huge lol. Ahhh so worried :(

Personally???
Question: Do any of you know each other in real life?! Just wondering. And I have yet to sign up for the race....
-
Apologies
I sincerely apologize for not being on here. I haven't been on much, but I'm back!!! Hope everyone is doing great and making progress.
-
Bread?
Do any of you eat cereal for breakfast? I can't seem to give up my cheerios and wheaties!! Also, is whole wheat bread considered clean? I know there are brands that are more organic than others. Do you eat bread?? My dietician said it's fine.

Cheaters
I have an interesting story. I just went on an Israel trip with 40 people, none of who knew each other. About a quarter of the people were in relationship with people from back home. NONE of the guys cheated on their girlfriends while on the trip. Most of the girls cheated on their boyfriends while on the trip. It restored…

After binge bloat!!!
How long do you guys stay bloated for after a binge? A day? A week? I ate a ton on Saturday and I feel like my whole body looks bigger than it did a few days ago. It's like swollen. This happens kind of often to me. I don't think I gained any fat...
-
Weight
So this is kind of silly, but just felt like ranting :) Anyone ever wonder if people won't be attracted to them because of their weight?! I've been very insecure of my weight for the past few months and will continue to be until I lose some more. I'm not extremely overweight, but just chubby. I am going on a trip to Israel…

I mean, if they have a pretty face, great personality, and are confident. Just wondering :) Thanks!!

binging
Hey everyone. I'm having a little bit of a hard time and feeling really discouraged. I'm a binge eater I feel that my binging has limited my progress. It's been 3/5 months and only lost ten pounds, and prob gained a couple back. I feel so guilty bc I should have made so much more progress by now!!. Anyone experience this??

Not eating clean and guilt
Hi everyone!! Just joined this group today. I was wondering how you all feel about having a food "treat." For example, I go to a dietician who wants me to eat nonfat dairy, lean protein, fruits and veggies, nuts, and whole grain carbs. I am of course allowed "treats" once in a while, but she suggests not to have one every…

Just binged SO HARD...
Just binged really hard fopr the first time in a few weeks. Came home after a few drinks and ate ice cream, chips with onion dip, pretzels, and chex mix :/ I feel disgusting. Do you think I'll put on a lot of weight from this??
-
So discouraged
I'm just having so much trouble losing weight and can't ever imagine a life without bingeing.
-
Do most people cheat??
Nowadays, it seems like everyone is cheating!! I personally have never had any desire to cheat on a boyfriend who I was really into. I have never cheated at all. It makes me jaded about relationships-like what's the point of being in one if you're not going to be faithful and trustworthy?? I just can't trust any men. Do…

Helpful Thoughts after a binge
I saw this on one of the message boards. It made me feel better!! "HOLY ****! I'VE EATEN SO MUCH! IM GOING TO BE OBESE" I bet you're thinking that. I know I have. But I read this and it put my mind at rest. "Ok. Stop. Take a deep breath and put your thinking cap on. I’m going to hit you with some wisdom, ok? Take your…

Binging and Awareness
So my dad bought a gallon of ice cream, for the first time in about a month. He was standing up and binging on it (yeah, it runs in the family). Ice cream is a HUGE binge trigger for me. I don't know why. I ended up binging on it and had about 2 cups, which isn't so bad, considering I usually will consume massive more…

Is it okay to eat "bad" calories once a day??
So, I know we've been talking about not eating sugar and unclean foods. I'm having a really hard time 100 percent cutting them out. I did it well for two weeks and then caved in. Even though it's not the healthiest, is it okay to have unhealthy calories once a day if it fits within your calorie range?? Like I'm eating…
-
Do men fall in love??
Okay, this might seem like a silly question to some. It's a genuine one though. My friends and I were debating if they do or not, but maybe we are just jaded by men. But, do men fall in love, or are they seeking sex and companionship?? I'm not trying to stereotype that that's what all men are seeking. Let's hear it from…

Guilt
I haven't weighed in in a couple weeks. I am going to tomorrow morning. I think that I may have gained a pound or two, because when I was on vacation I ate out everyday and binged a little. I know this sounds melodramatic, but I can't help feeling kind of guilty and frustrated. I've only lost 11 pounds so far and I…

What should we do mid-binge??
I just stopped myself in the middle of a "mini" binge. I wanted to have an all-out binge, but I ended up only having a 1/2 a cup of ice cream. I told myself to slow down while I was eating, and I thought to myself "I'm trying to be binge free, this isn't worth it." I put down the ice cream and threw it out. I wrote this…
