My boyfriend is being so so so supportive with this whole thing -- he's agreed to keep stuff that I looooooove but shouldn't have completely out of the apt. And when we go out (which is barely ever) if he wants to get a dessert or something, that's fine -- but I'm only allowed to have one bite. I've actually found that this is great -- I get that TASTE that I want of the cake or other delicious thing, then find that I don't need more than that. Or, what I'll do is take what would be a normal bite, put it on a separate plate, and then eat in in 5 or 6 teeny tiny bites -- and this works great, too!!

Wow - best thread ever. Thank you so much for starting it.

Today was another Day 1 for me, since I blew it last week on all sorts of bad food. I capped it off with a full-on binge on Sunday because I figured I should get those cravings out of my system before Monday, when I'd get back on the wagon. Because that always works.
Anyway, my full-day binges are almost always the same. Maybe by writing it down and admitting it, it will lose its power over me. Sigh... here goes:

• Starbucks apple fritter & iced latte - 500
• Burger King Whopper Jr., med. fries, chocolate shake - 1,250
• medium-size bag of cheddar-flavor Ruffles - 400
• carrots and full-fat 1000 Island dip - 300
• DiGorno pepperoni pizza - 950
• pint of Ben 'n' Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge ice cream - 1000

Total = 4,400

Holy moly! Okay, that looks bad. But I'm sort of relieved. I've never shared with anyone what my binges look like. I'm going to try to follow your guys' examples and cyber-binge instead. Day 1 = no binge.
And to everyone, hang in there!

i ate SO MUCH yesterday, that i don't even feel hungry today. I don't even think i could eat something even if i tried....!

Hi all I'm new here, but I thought this thread was a great idea! I'm a binge/emotional eater so I'll be in this thread a lot! lol Today, is the first day of my "life change" (diet) so I WANT a lot of things.

chocolate
Mountain Dew
pumpkin roll (yep, I make them from scratch!)

Hehe, what a FAB thread! Great idea. I'm fairly new to this site, but this is the best thread i've seen so far!

Hopefully it will help me just to type it all out, maybe get it out of my system.
All day i've been craving ben and jerrys cookie dough ice cream!!! yummmm!!! amassive tub of it, with a stupid amount of calories and FAT in it!
But i WONT give in because i NEED to loose this STUPID roll (or maybe 2...or 3) of fat around my belly!!!

that feels better.

dusty88 - Welcome to the thread! We're so glad to have you

I have no job set up for the near future, and I am stressing out like crazy. Plus, I'm bored and lonely because I'm alone in the house and don't have to go meet Jeff for atleast another 2 hours.

So here's what I want to eat:

Middles of yucky coconut cookies because they are sweet
Noodles with cheese and olives.
Who knows? Anything and everything else I could convince myself would be okay to eat.

But I really don't want to feel yucky and bloated. We're having dinner at Jeff's parents' house, which will be pizza...so I need to have enough calories left for a meal.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So frustrated I want to drown myself in food, but at the same time, I DON'T.

And I WON'T!

i ate loads of carbs yesterday.
because i had tons of work to do on my dissertation.
ok that's a lie - not *because* i had tons of work to do - that is not cause and effect.
I had tons of work to do. I also ate loads of carbs. . Then I fell asleep with my face in a textbook.
Ok I'm going for a run....today will be better....

YES today WILL be better, don't worry...sounds like you have a lot of work on at the moment, you need to concentrate on that, and eating llots of carbs one day won't make you put on weight.
Did you go for a run? GOOD FOR YOU, thats ace.

Im back in this thread...i feel as though il be here everyday just typing out what i want to binge on, coz i feel as though i want to binge EVERY DAY!
Right now i want toast, and lots of it. with lots of melted butter all over it...yummm... in other words i want a load of carbs and fat drizzled on top of it. SO I WILL NOT GIVE IN...I CAN DO THIS

Thanks dusty88...I know tis not real weight but water...doing better today. Would quite like to have eaten entire box of cereal...put cereal on top shelf - phew! So glad I didn't dip into it now! One thing about living in a college dorm box - sorry, room - you can't go out of the kitchen!

i want to eat as few bowls of cereal.. maybe 3. But then i looked in the mirror and saw how my body is changing and how i don't want to mess it up. So now i'm not going to eat anything. There. I've written it down now, i can't change it!

dusty88, me23, Leah - for all the positive choices you've made!
