Please Help! Any advice?!?!?!

Posted in Group: 

I just binged! ALOT! Oh my, I want to cry so bad, but I promised at least I would'nt cry. Just today I had 3,000 calories on accidnet. No binge. Which happness and I am trying to recover. But just now, I went to teh kitcehn, found detox tea and thought my evil thoughts "why not again? This once? Its fun, why wouldnt I?" SO I did it. This is what I ate: 1 yoplait yogurt (and I HATE yoplait!) and 2 cups granola. mixedc and ate it. The rush of excitment got to me and I then I gone to teh pantry again for the granola. I didnt take the yogurt because Im being healthy, you know. Yoplait has artificial colors and addtities (:P I know laughable. I was preaching to myself not to eat yoplait but I ate loads of grnaola instead) I had 3 or 4 more cups granola-I actually measuresd and 2 more cups of 2% milk. And THAT wasnt enough. 2 more milk granola bars.

Whats wrong with me! My parents are gone for the holiday and Im here..all alone. I promised to my mom I would call her if I would have an "episode" but I didn't. I will gain weight won't I? Will I? I dont need to gain any more weight!!

The first thing that you need to know is that you are not perfect, and that is okay. I know that when I binge after not having binged for a while, I feel like I messed everything up and from then on everything is just going to be terrible, but it's not. Slip ups do happen, but you can't get down on yourself about them because it's a slippery slope. Just go one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time if that's what it takes. You are not terrible, ugly, fat, or anything like that just because you ate a bit more than you would have liked to. This one incident, any one incident, will not ruin everything. Just take it a day at a time. And you said you didn't eat the yoplait.. that's a good start! You didn't want it so you didn't eat it. It's the little things like that to be proud of. I know it sounds difficult, but it will help if you talk to someone. You don't have to talk about your bingeing, just call up your mom or a friend to say hello and chat. Anything to distract you.
If it makes you feel any better, I was in the exact same position yesterday. But today I ate healthier and I feel much better. Maybe a binge will come again in the future, but I am going to focus on right now.

I hope that helps at least a little! You sound like a sweet girl, so don't be too hard on yourself =]

i myself today binged. and ive been doing good and been feeling proud of myself. then today.... i get an anxiety feeling and i eat something mine usually triggers with bread or sweets. then it seems i eat everything i can get my hands on. my brain is constantly screaming for me to stop just walk away but i cant. i physically feel as if i cant stop. untill i finally feel the over fullness feeling and i actually feel like i get a "high" off it. there is a awwwwww moment...... and then i feel like such a loser for the rest of the day and really really feel so helpless. i want to go see a professional but i dont have the money. only my husband knows about my disorder im to embarrased to tell anybody else

I binge eat as well, I'm new to this site by the way. I tend to binge when I'm sad, depressed, alone, bored so just about the whole time. I specially have a problem with cookies (any kind any brand) it seems that when I feel emotions scalating it is the only thing that will alow me to get a grip on myself and once I start it is impossible to stop. Yes I feel it in the morning, and I hate that I did it. So I know how you feel. What helps me is that I try to lead a healthy lifestyle I eat all my veggies, I look for healthy foods, I exersice that sort of stuff. And I try not to be by myself I try to keep myself accupied, during the week no problem. Weekend oh boy! If I don't have a schedule of what I'm planning for that weekend then I will eat 5000 cal before breakfast. So I keep myself and my mind occupied I tell coworkers what I'm planning to do that weeken and they quiz me about it on Monday. It helps me to keep my mind off food. It is really hard, but it can be done you can do it! One more thing when you feel it coming go outdoors take a walk around the block sometimes the cooped up feeling makes it worse! Hope some of theses ideas can be useful to you. Best wishes! And remember you are not alone!

I did it today. Was at a baby shower and doing good until I ate that first piece of dessert and it escalated from there. Stopped at the gorcery store after the baby shower and bought pop tarts. Felt horrible and took it out on my boyfriend like I usually do. Ate the whole box of pop tarts. I am so sick of this cycle. I ate well and worked out for days then boom its all for nothing with a binge and consuming more calories than i need for 3 days. Is it ever goin to change? I have been battling eating disorders since i was 12 and im 26 now. So sick of the unhealthy relationship with food. I know all the facts, I know what not to eat, what to eat, how to eat...etc. But I use food as a reward and as a punishment. I use it to connect with people and to shut people out. I eat when Im happy and when Im sad. I need help because I know getting better means loving yourself and obviously I am not doing so well with that. I use food to distract myself from other feelings. These binges are on average every 4 days. Its ruining my relationships and distracting me from what i really need to be doing which is trying to graduate from dental hygiene and deal with a heart issue. Just had a pacemaker put in 6 months ago and still havnt come to terms with it. I need support. I need help.

I do the same any time I get anxious or depressed I eat and eat and eat little bits at a time that add up. Then I have to go kill myself at the gym everyday then I eat all night. Im getting EXHAUSTED my body is running down. Every day is the same routine. wake up depressed from the eating the night before go to the gym workout for 2 hours try to just eat a bannana and orange then the night comes and off I go again. I will have to work the AA program on food. I have gone through a horrible breakup and that adds to the want to eat away the depression. Starving then Bingeing. This cycle must STOP!!
