Hi I am new to the 3FC community and I believe that I might be classified as a binge eater. I can do sooooo good for a few days and then all of sudden I crave big time something salty or sweet and if I get started on it I can't quit. Last night for example. It wasn't that great of a choice for dinner but I made it for the kids and I just figured what the heck. I had some chicken nuggets and then I made them potato wedges and I had a few. I was fine with that then all of a sudden......I saw some Chili N Cheese Fritos........OMG......I grabbed that bag and ate them and ate them and ate them and then I was so mad at myself for it. I have seen a therapist about it because I was trying to find out if something triggered it but he said he believes me to be a compulsive overeater. I don't care what it is.....it makes you feel good when you do it but then feel like S*** afterwards! Like a failure! I am so glad I found this site that way when I have a feeling of binging or overeating....I can come on here and just post about it and hopefully that will change my mind!

Welcome trs71975! You are not a failure, compulsive eating is VERY HARD to manage, everyone in this forum understands the struggle! I'm glad you've found us!

I've been doing the same thing since the weekend.
I've been so good and recently lost 10 lbs, and then since Mother's Day it's like I want to eat everything in the kitchen cabinets!
I don't have any answers, other than treat each day as a new day.
Each day is a new beginning to try and be binge free.

Best wishes

I do the same thing! I stay on track for days, start craving something, and then it is all downhill from there. I can't seem to get the whole concept of eating a little bit of something I want... I have to eat all of it, and then move on to the next thing I want...

I try to keep foods that I typically overeat out of the house, but then when I get desperate, I start concocting things... cream cheese with just about anything; butter, cocoa, and sugar... it is so frustrating, and I'm starting to realize how much of a problem it is for me.

Good luck and you are not alone!!

No, you are not alone. It's something that hard to control but we have to learn how to stop bingeing. I think that the first step is to talk about it...

Welcome trs71975. I am new here too. I do the same things as you...hopefully you can find the support you need here.
