I have been trying, going back and fourth from obsessive thoughts to binge eating. I seem to be positive all day and eat well then at night or when something happens I talk myself into eating crazy and then I'm back to square one. I know one thing that would help and I thought it might help others is to have a thread of Binge eating 911, When we feel a binge coming on or when we want to reach for that junk food we simply get on here and post it and ask for support. I know that if we have constant reminders of how we can succeed it can work or atleast help! so let me start by saying when I wake up I will be binge free and when I feel the need I will get on here and post and lean on my chicks as I hope I can do for someone too. Heres to a life of non compulsive over eating.
Count me in! I was doing well today and tonight I fell apart again... stressed, on my period, yes, but that's not an excuse! The bingeing only makes the stress worse anyway.

Thanks for starting this thread. =)
No, Thank you for joining me in the battle against this horrid disease. I know how periods can be! haha, chocolate lover here! Anyway's I also figured if I'm steady on here getting help/helping others and does a few daily workouts I can try my very hardest to stay clean from COE. Remember before you binge click here and post about it, plus the time it takes to respond your craving might just go away!
Oh my gosh...story of my life! I do great all day and then 9pm rolls around and all I can think about is food! I've found that something that helps is planning a night time snack for right before I go to bed. Usually it's something sweet and knowing that I have that waiting for me prevents me from binging between dinner and bedtime.
This is an excellent thread! I have been battling thoughts all day. So far I've been doing really well. Unfortunately, I didn't do so well on Monday. Or Tuesday. or yesterday

you can do this, you can do this, YOU WILL SUCCEED! One thing that helps, as dumb as it may seem is saying your ABC'S as healthy foods per letter and by the time you get done the craving is not so bad. I am starting today binge free, the first day since Jan/2009! We will achieve and we will spread the warmth of success to others in need!

But I'm totally in!
I can understand where you are coming from, myself losing 100lbs aswell and then falling off the wagon, its tough! some days you wonder, why even bother? It's like this inner working tick, a personality of its own that compel's us to eat, and eat... I think I'm gonna come up with a name for my "other" personality, hahahahahaha but I am glad to of found you all and I hope to continue.... it would be cool to have a 3fatchicks convention every year so we all could meet and show support!
Has anyone thought of mini goal self giving? Like giving yourself a treat when you reach each mini goal? I was thinking that I would get my nails done when I'm one week free from binging!
Actually, for the past two weeks I have told myself if I was binge-free I could go get the corduroy pants I want on the weekend... so far no pants. Maybe next weekend!
I'm starting today binge-free as well. Hopefully I can get a running start with a fairly low stress week next week before things get really crazy. I'll be sure to practice my ABC's... apples, broccoli, carrots....

So today was a success! I ate very well, just my healthy meals and a couple figs for a snack. Even if the urge to binge hits me, there aren't any 24 hr supermarkets in Paris. All I have are bananas, green beans, and hummus .
I also think this was a great idea and you can also count me in!! I should have posted yesterday at lunch when my bingeing started to get out of control. Because the rest of the night I was at work and had no real time to get on the computer. This left me an out so I just kept on going with the binge. I generally DO just feel like crap today though. And I didn't get all that much pleasure out of eating the food when it was occurring so I don't understand what my motivation to do the binge IS. But anyways, most of you read my post today. I need to pick myself up and brush myself off which is what I'm attempting. It feels good knowing this thread is here....
