Hey everybody,
I just had my first binge-free day in a couple of weeks. I'm so proud!
Harpo, I do plan my binges.It always happens that I talk myself into binging then the night before I think about exactly what I'll binge on. It keeps me awake at night sometimes.I plan it right down to the different food stores that Ill go to to stock up on my food. Awful, huh?
But no more, honestly. Though I'm still not ready to go to the binge-free thread.

another binger
Hi everyone! I just found this thread! I guess I have not searched too hard. Binging is definately the word of the day. Let's see on Sunday I ate for two hours straight, then I had dinner. Yesterday because I had been feeling sick I only ate a whole box of girl scout cookies. Not good for a diabetic. Today has been some small binging, not to the uncomfortable level, though. I started on this site and lost 15 pounds along with the help of my trainer. Needless to say I have gained some of it back in the past few weeks. This just s***s! I would like to tell you all more about me right now but I will wait until later. So glad that i found you! And after reading some of the previous posts, BINGES CAN definately be planned! I know this well. I almost forgot to tell you about the pop-tarts I bought to eat AFTER my workout with my trainer today. I was content when I was with him! What happened? Well, gotta go.
LOL, Catherine

da fat Oh how I love your name. It makes me smile everytime I see it. I'm sending you lots of strengh . . . hope you had binge free day #2!!!
jay There you are!!! Thanks for checking in, and OKAY is better than BAD, so keep those binges in check and FABULOUS job getting in your exercise!!!
mel Welcome to our little thread!!!! Please post often and uninhibitedly!!! I know exactly how you feel about dumping money down the toilet, I feel like that all of the time. I'm also a bulimic (going on 8 years), but I usually spare everyone the awful details. I feel COMPLETELY in control after I purged, like I triumphed over the food and didn't let it beat me. But in actuality, I've let the food take control of me, and I have no control.
cadbury Great job having the binge free day!!! I'm on my 3rd binge free day and going strong!!! Yes, I still have the food I'm planning to binge on on my mind. My next confession will be : grilled cheese, popcorn, and mashed potatoes. It won't leave my head until it's in my stomach.
Catherine Welcome welcome!!! We have a sticky profile thread up at the top here so you can tell us more about yourself there if you would like. Ahh, pop tarts are major triggers for me!!! Just walking by them in the grocery store is hard.
I'm binge free today, but I want to talk about my chocolate NSV, so I'll post about it here. Everyone knows chocolate is a big weakness of mine and a huge trigger, but lately I have been making a single serving of brownies from a box of brownie mix. I only use water and no oil or eggs, and the consistency is a bit weird, but it still tastes like a brownie!!! (I put it in the microwave). And this is chocolate I can KEEP in my house. I'm not going to be eating the unbaked brownie powder, so this ends up being perfect for me. And it fixes my chocolate craving!! I was going to go to the grocery store and buy a XL Hershey bar, but I made my funky microwaved brownie instead, and it worked!!!

Ohhhhh, Catherine, I can't tell you how many times in the past month I have stood in the cereal aisle and actually put my hand on a box of PopTarts... So far I have always put it back. It kind of helps to make myself look at the nutrition label because I am totally paranoid about sugar content; my blood sugar is finally stable and I really don't want to blow it! Oh, and my dad lives in Riner... wave hi for me!
Hi to Mel as well... I have found that coming here and reading the encouraging stuff will sometimes stop me in my tracks... if I get here before I hit the kitchen... So keep reading and keep posting!
I'm not sure I have said Hi to Cadbury, yet, anywhere... Hi, Cadbury!
Welcome to the gang, ya'll!

Okay, boy was my post premature proclaiming 3 binge free days!! I just binged on popcorn (see I told you it'd be popcorn!!), 1/3 of a pumpkin pie (hey where in the **** did THAT come from?), and a bowl of split pea and ham soup. Okay, not a major gut filling binge, but a binge by any other name . . . It actually didn't even fill me up at all, but it was complete and utter unnecessary overeating after I had finished up healthy eating for the day. I was going to make grilled cheese and mashed potatoes, but I didn't feel like cooking and washing dishes or I would have. I usually would have gone on and on, because I wanted it to be a worth-while binge, but I didn't, and making binges smaller is a step in the right direction. I'm going to bed soon so I don't end up rationalizing continued eating.
But I'm not letting this one go into a streak. It's definitely going to be abnormal for the week, je promis.

Well, I successfully skipped McD's yesterday (both morning and afternoon). I also missed lunch, though, because I was so busy at work, so I came home STARVING! I ended up eating about 1/3 a bag of those green guacamole flavored Doritos and almost a ahole container (maybe 3/4) of dried cranberries, then had 2 burritos (homemade--lean chicken, black beans, salsa, corn, taco sauce, reduced-fat cheese, fat-free sour cream, and La Tortilla torts) for dinner even after all that. I know, it could have been worse, but it was still more than I should have had. I need to know that when I come home hungry, it's just as easy to nuke a SmartOnes 140-calorie meal as it is to gorge myself on chips

allright so it's been awhile. i'm officially done with finals and my freshman year of college!
good news: i haven't binged/purged in a week and i haven't felt the urge to aaaaand it's my 19th birthday today! woooo!
not-so-good: it's bittersweet because it's also the 10 year anniversary of my ED. (my 9th birthday was the day i made myself throw up for the first time i had eaten too much of my cake and so i went and did what i had seen my mom do a few times)
more good news: my mom has been recovered for 6 years and 3 months after being bulimic for 11 years..gives hope for me to get better too

Hey guys
today I exercised for 1 hour of intense cardio circuit training. I have to practice more for jumps today and work on a school project.
I am going to run for an office in the Interact (community service) club at my school. I was going to run for VP but my friend is running and if you went ot my school, believe me she really is going to win. not that she wouldn't make a good VP but I think I want it more. anyway what do you think should i run against her and possibly lose (badly) or not run adn wait until next year?

In addition to a bunch of other unnecessary stuff, I gorged on an entire acorn squash today. Nobody needs to be scarfing that much squash in one sitting. I have a major problem with eating gigantic amounts of "healthy" foods(i.e. a whole watermelon, or a big bag of apples). I need to learn to just have a freaking sandwich instead of 6 grapefruits and a litre of orange juice.

A long day
Thank you everyone for the welcome!
Well, today was a bad day! By the way I work at a bakery! I have 16 sheet cakes to make for graduation. I have to trim all of the edges off before I finish icing them. I ate a good portion of it. Of Course this was after my boss says I was not doing a good enough job. OF course also, do I have any help, no! Does he help, no! No body is up to his standard, no one is as good as him and it is totally frustrating! I had Chinese for dinner, that was not a binge just not very healthy.
Anyways I talk to a guy at work about my binging. He is a really cool guy! He says it seems like my binges have to do with a feeling of guilt, and in some way I agree with him. I always feel like I can not be what everyone wants me to be and then I feel guilty. When I started my diet, I went through some personal changes in myself. Things just for me. I did great, I ate 6 small meals a day, I exercised, got a new hairdo, stared doing things for myself. Never got the tattoo I wanted though. money issues!! ANd them things happened and I felt like I was not doing enough for everyone else, not meeting their expectations, and I kind of gave up. This of course irritates the living daylights out of me. I know what I need to do, but I keep falling back. I tell myself not to eat it before and during the time I am binging and then I want to kick myself in the A@@ afterwards.
Well. I did not mean to come on here and vent, I guess I needed to. After reading alll the previous posts I am glad that I found all of you, I think you will be a great help. As is my other group! Have a wonderful evening .
Catherine
Lala- Riner is such a beautiful place! Would love to move there!

YAY!!! I love that all you new girls have decided to stick around . . . we tend to scare people away I think . . .
Jill GREAT job skipping Mcdonalds, before you know it, you won't even glance in its direction while you drive on by! Just think of it this way: although you ate things you shouldn't have eaten at home that night, you could have eaten all of that ON TOP of 2 double cheeseburgers (I don't know if you would have done that, but I probably would have!!)
mel I'm sorry you b/p'd Chinese food used to be one my favorites to b/p, but now I avoid the stuff like the plague. I used to have MAD cravings for it, but I was so ashamed to sit there at the buffet and overeat like that, so I always got the buffet to go, and I loaded that little styrofoam box. After not eating it regularly for almost a year, I've lost all craving for it, and will only eat it if someone happens to have it around.
Unfortunately, the madness only ends when we decide to get help.
fatty Congratulations on a b/p free week and a happy birthday wish as well!!! At least you didn't remember your anniversary by repeating history!!
Kristen You do such a great job getting exercise in!! You are WAY busier than I am, and I can't even get off of my butt at all!! Well, if you are convinced you don't have a chance of winning, I would wait until next year. You can't run for 2 positions at once, can you? And if you lost the VP chair, you wouldn't have a place at all. Good luck with it!!!!
Belle I binge on healthy stuff too!! Except my weaknesses are citrus fruits and melons as well. I can't even buy more than 2 of anything, so if I want a tangerine, I've got to go out and buy ONE because if I buy a bag, I'll eat them all. I ate 3 pounds at once one time. So you definitely aren't alone with that!!!
jamamom Oh how tough it would be to work at a bakery!! I LOVE baked goods. I could never resist the temptation!! Don't worry about venting, that's what this thread is for!!! Talk about anything you want.
ellis I hope you are doing well, our lovely moderator. I promise I'll be in the binge free thread tomorrow!!
Okay now my confessions. I was really depressed today, because I haven't been sleeping AT ALL and that really gets to me after awhile, so I made banana bread out of frustration. Then I had a ENORMOUS bowl of mashed potatoes and a grilled cheese. I'm so glad the potato flakes are almost gone. See, once a food is one the brain, it doesn't leave until it's in my stomach. And I also had a giant hershey bar early this morning!! But that wasn't a binge.
Here's to tomorrow in all its binge free glory!

hey ladies. i haven't been around the boards lately because i've been so angry at myself for all the horrid eating i have been doing. all of my binging is starting to catch up with me- i have gained 5 pounds in about 2 weeks!
I'm going to go to bed and hopefully have a fresh start tomorrow. I NEED to get control over my binging NOW. At the rate I'm going, i will just keep on gaining more and more. I'm committing myself to restarting tomorrow because I can;t put it off any longer. wish me luck!
p.s- happy bday fatty_nomore and congrats on your recent success!
