I need help. I am bingeing every day and I have been for weeks. I don't know how to stop. Every night when I go to bed I promise myself that the next day will be different, and then every day I fail. How do I stop before I gain back the 30 pounds I lost?
Wardhog I know.I go through these phases.Hang in there.I wish I could give you some advice because I would take it myself.I have tried to physically remove myself from the kitchen and go for a walk.9/10 times when I get back I have lost the binge feeling.Other 1/10, I do give in.......then feel so horrible about myself.I so understand you.
i am in...dear wardhog, can you take 5 deep breaths and ask yourself what you really want at this moment. if it's food, go and enjoy. but it it's auto pilot binge kicking in you have to get out of the house. go to cvs, read bad magazines, stare at traffic, 5 minutes,anything..you can do it
I'm in! Binging isn't my problem right now anyway, it is making myself each as much as I'm required.
Wardhog, mdl is right on the money. Distract your mind with something other than food. You are most likely habit-eating now and need to replace that time with a new hobby. You can do this!
Thanks guys. I haven't binged yet today. I had my regular breakfast, worked out, and I am planning a normal lunch. The first day is the hardest and I can get through it, right?
Ugh. I'm having SUCH a hard time with night eating right now! It's a vicious cycle-- I restrict during the day (to make up for last night's indiscretions) and then eat the majority of my calories after dinner. Last night I ate enough to bring me to 1950 for the day-- not horrible, but I still feel guilty about it. Gotta break this habit!
Bad night for me...I had been doing pretty good for several days.I have no idea what happened.One candy bar led to 2, then to 3, then to.....well, you get the drift.Now its 0139 and I am awake.I have no idea how to stop doing this.I am so tired of it.I keep asking myself what happened 5 years ago that made me begin to binge.I have no answer.An answer would help.Then maybe I could fix it.Anyway, just needed to confess.
Wardhog - I had the same issue and it pops us every now and then and it SUCKS!! I pinned mine down to when I get stressed or tired at work - that's when I binge and bad. I took a picture of myself and I put it on my phone and when I went the next day to binge I looked at it and couldn't do it! After two days of binge free I feel awesome and interestingly enough, I am less stressed at work and I contribute this to the healthy food choices!!
Well, like WardHog (how are things going for you, did you make it through day one?<3), I've had a lot of bad days.... I really need to get back on track. I'm so disappointed in and angry with myself - why can't I do this?! Why do I always end up binging, ruining all my progress, and when I start over I say "Next time will be different". But next time is never different. I'm so scared I'll wake up 30 years from now, still struggling with this, being the exact same person as I am now (both mentally and physically) and realise, "Whoa, I just wasted my entire life. I haven't gotten anywhere".
Im with you Ida.I am so tired of this "Disorder">I want anorexia.Just kidding.I really dont but sometimes I feel like I do.Anyway, I am just so frustrated.
Well I thought I would come back today and say that it's not just stress or work. I had gone for a long walk and was feeling fine and then decided that I wanted a cupcake. I was only going to have one but I had two I got two and ate them both within about 1 min. I felt so guilty after that I threw up. I have NEVER done that before and I gave myself a very hard talking to. I am soo frustrated!
