I want to join! I just binged on Thursday :( which lead to 4 days of guilt and bad eating. As of today I am 1 day binge free.

GRR. Today was my third bingey day in a row. I got down to 140.4, and I've been trying to break 140 for a long time ... apparently I'm scared of change or something. I don't know.

Trying again tomorrow.

Oh, wow I was looking for some support like this. I've been eating like crazy with exam stress.

From now on .... my binge free starts. I've managed to make it to 3 or 4 weeks binge free. Let's try for more now ! <3

i'm starting tomorrow. today my mom ordered takeout (burgers and fries .. yum). tomorrow i'm back to making healthy decisons!

Day 16...:)

Day 9

ThinkinThin: Congrats on the new job! I understand about the stress of the first day, but you did well and you can still be on track. Keep it up.

eratosthanes: You can do it day 6! I'm a late night binge eater, so I've been trying to save around 500cal for dinner too. You are donig a great job so far!


Maryjaneld: Day 2 here we go!

MamaP: Being aware of what we eat is half the battle. 5 days is amazing, we can keep it up together!

fatfriend: you, maryjaneld and I can work on Day 2 together! Good Luck!


Skyra: I know what you mean, it's called self-sabatage, but what keeps us continuing the battle....your not giving up the fight! :carrot: Keep trying, and if you need anything we are all here for you :)


TempleBody: 3 or 4 weeks binge free! wow that's great! You can do it again. I hope I can go that long. that's one of my goals.

diornotwar: we are all here for you whenever you start! :)

Blairsey: day 16 OH MY!!!!! Congrats! really great job.

paris81: Same to you on day 9. I hope I can be where you guys are at.



I made it through Day 1. It was weird because Mon. and Wed. I have class until 9 and always snack and binge when I get home, but I wasn't that hungry during class. I was probably more stress about school. Well I allocated 500-600 calories for dinner last night because of my classes, so the bf wanted wendy's twisted frosty and 2 jr bacon cheese burger.....me...I put my foot down. I got a 5 peice chicken nugget, a ceasar side salad(minus croutons and FF dressing only half the packet). Then I had a cup of venison chili...homemade very lean and healthy. I did good considering that was a dinner and I didn't have anything else before or after that! So now on to day 2. I wish everyone well and Good luck!

Hi - Day 7 is done. But, oh my! My behaviour yesterday was dangerous...I was cruising/scavenging in the kitchen for things to eat that were not on that day's eating plan. I held off. But, that kind of activity is what usually causes me to slide.

Happytobemom--- inspirational! Your head and you body (exercise) and in the right place. Sounds like everything is aligned for you and that you are able to sustain it. Keep at it. I am going to return to you post when I am stuck.

I hope that everyone has one (that is what counts for today) bingefree day.

I meant to write "your head and your body (exercise)are in the right place".

Hello everyone! congrats on all of your successes! I've been away for a few days and have been overeating, not necessarily binging but just eating things I shouldn't and sometimes more than I should. I am starting over again today. I will do good today! :)

I have a ?.....what do you guys consider a binge meal? If you don't mind some examples of your binges...I'm trying to get to the bottom of my problem and sometimes i have a hard time between if it's a "craving", "splurge", "over-eating", and "binge". thanks

Day 22.

I really blew it today, on my 9th day binge free. I had a whopping 3800 cal. ! I binged on everything I could get my hands on. I'm sure I'll gain about 3 lbs. So depressing, Day 1 tomorrow.

day 2

Thanks to you, jdonato. My new job will be so good because I'll be hopping busy and in a place where it won't be easy to binge (as opposed to my last job where I was in the car alone a lot).

As far as what I consider a binge versus heavy eating; I think a binge is buying or finding a EXTREMLY LARGE amount of calories because you have an unsatiable urge to stuff yourself to numb out or feel better. You might even plan it or hoard food all day for nighttime, etc. Usually, for me this would include salty stuff, then sweets. Afterwards, there is a feeling of either nothing or total guilt and depression. But, eating heavy is just buying one or two items that are big (i.e., a Big Mac and Lg Fries) and eating it all instead of stopping halfway or when you start to feel full. Afterwards, you feel kind of blah afterwards and say "that was a stupid choice", but don't swirl into a depression necessarily. Hope that makes sense. That's just my perspective. Maybe others will see it differently.
