The past two weeks or something I have become utterly depressed...I have been compulsively over eating n haven't been able to stop. Now...I wanna ask people to join with me so, together with each other's help...we can get back on track, stop over eating and get on a healthier track!

Who's up for it??? I am starting on a new day...that's Sunday!!

Your choice!

Hi, I'm new to this board. I've also been binge eating inhumane amounts of food for the past while, and I'm sick of this too. I'll join your efforts and hopefully we'll be able to put an end to overeating.

Sure Caroline, I'll join you. I've been eating far too much lately too - and I'm not just saying that. It's like I always have food on my mind, and as soon as no one's around, especially when I get home from school, all I want to do is eat eat eat. I can't stand it. Only... I don't really know HOW to stop myself from eating so much; I have no self-control anymore!

So I'll gladly join you, so long as the idea isn't to go and starve yourself, because then I definitely WONT be supporting you! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

HEY GUYs! Ill join you. Ive been eating somewhat normally for the past two days!! I feel a lot better, hope I can keep it up. Had some tendencies to binge tonight, but was able to stop myself http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

i have been overeating for awhile now. it helps me escape from my depression in the short term but makes me feel like an abysmal failure the following day. i don't know how to stop it.

Hi all! I decided to start today (being Monday) instead.
So far..for my breakfast I have had 2 pieces of brown toast with jam on!

Green apple...we r all in the same position (more-or-less). Be strong!! I am trying to fight cravings for high calorific foods. But I have just gotta keep telling my self how much I will regret it tomorrow!!!

Well after saying I was joining you all on sunday, I binged that day. Then monday was supposed to be a new beginning. Another binge today.

Do you all have a similar binge problem, eating a massive amount of food in a short time period, or do you guys generally overeat throughout the day?

Anyways, I am stopping this NOW, not at the end of the day or tommorow. And tommorow I'm going to fight every single craving and not give it to those "just one more time" messages that keep moving through my mind.

Good luck to you all

If I binge...um....sometimes a loooads of food in one space of time...or it can be spread out.
I really really do know the temptation 'just one more'....but that 'just one more' can last up to weeks...and I always think to myself how I need to do something about it and do put my foot down to it!!

It's hard, it really is...but I know u r a strong person to say NO!
And, if you are really struggling, then maybe you aren't ready to stop this yet. I find that I can only stop bingeing when something 'clicks' in my head and I have the motivation.

Just do what ever works best for you.


OK>....For the rest of you....
yesterday I did do a mini binge but I had....
2 pieces of toast with jam
nothing for dinner <- but I usually don't have time
2xpackets of crisps
1x plain brown roll
1x banana
1x bit of bread.

I went to kick boxing so I may have burned a bit off...oh! Yeh! I ran home...which is only about a mile but every little counts!!

How are the rest of you's doing? You've gone a little quiet....starting to worry http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif.

XXXX love Caroline

yesterday was OK. Everythign was going fine until I convinced myself that one snickers would be ok....that was almost a disater, it almost turned into 'one more wont hurt', 'oh **** ill just start tommarrow', but luckily I was able to stop after savoring(key word!) a few, so I had a mini binge on my fav healthy foods like apples, dried figs, salad. So overall it was a good day http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Im tempted to start calorie counting to make sure i eat just enough and not anything over....but that can lead me down a very bad path(ive been there before).

Good luck all http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

XOXO

If oyu guys feel the urge to binge pop a hard candy in your mouth. i bought some Strawberry CremeSavers(a new kind of LifeSaver), and if I feel like I want to start pillaging the food cupboard I just savor one of them. They are super delicious, and really help when im in a destructive mood http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Good luck guys!!

jon

Xfiles....Well done for bingeing on healthy foods!!! : ) I supposed that's allowed....keep it up!! I am struggling too..don't feel I am doing any better!!X

I think your idea is great! I've had trouble binging as long as I can remember. I'll try very hard to be healthy for a couple days, and then I'll binge horribly. And instead of admitting my mistake and getting back to a healthy track, i continue binging because i'm so disappointed in myself. I've decided that this time, i have to do it. I'm starting a diet log to keep track of what i'm eating...

so far...
1 plain pancake
1.5 cups applesauce
16 oz. milk

Wish me luck! I could really use the support!!!

Bethany

Hey all!!
It's the Easter hols for me at the moment I am practically7 working everyday...what does this mean?! Well...I don't eat when I work...I just keep falling back into not eating. Please don't be mad!!! I have eaten today but I just keep struggling on. Maybe this is just a bad day???

What's been going on with the rest of you?????

XXXXX

Hey guys http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm so pleased with myself. Lately I have been eating rather normally, eating some treats and not giving in to my urge to binge http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Also, i think I am goign to start a food diary, there are some online sites that will do charts and stuff for you. Eminem, mayeb you can bring a snack with you to work? like an apple o something tasty and low calorie, Apple's always fill me up and curb my tendencies to binge. Good luck eminem and bethany http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Jon

Hey!!
Sorry i haven't replied here....I have had a virus thingy for a few days and have been ill. How's everyone doing???

Doh! I didn't mean to post my last reply...wasn't quite ready!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif UmM...Well...fortunately I have stopped majorly bingeing. I was unable to eat anything for a day or two so it got me back on track a bit.
What's been going on with u all?! It's been kind of quiet.
How r u Xfiles?XXXXX

HIHI!! Well easter came, and I did indulge in candy and chocolate, but did not binge!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif Ive been pretty good, trying to eat more normally, more fruits and veggies. I havent weighed myself in a while, I think that makes me less crazy http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wink.gif I hope I dont find a shocking surprise :P i also goto the gym 3 times a week, so we'll see. But overall I think im doign a lot better. Is your virus oveR??? I hope you are ok http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

Jon

Hey...yer...I am much better thanx. I dunno..I just feel like I am not moving still. I am gonna try and go to the gym later so I will give u an update on how it goes later.
It sounds to me that u r doing brill, well done!!!

Take care...will update u later!!!

Looooads of love!!XXXX

I think I will join also! I have a problem with eating. I go through cycles. There a times when I eat and eat, and when it comes a point where I dont like my weight, I will go on a diet. However, I know the way I diet is not healthy. I fluctuate from 98 lbs to 118 lbs. Its a constant struggle for me. Count me in on joining up. I will start tomorrow 5/12. (I had pizza for dinner tonight.)Take care everyone.

count me in guys!!
i binged tonight, but its okay cuz i am going to focus now....
it helps to have a calendar and put a star on the days that you didnt binge and u ate well so then at the end of each week or month u see how ur doing!!!!!
try it guys...
GOOD SUPPORT!!!

and i just went to the kitchen and i got 2 grapes, but one back, then as i was leavin the kitchen i threw the other one! YAY!!!!!!
i am so happy we are all trying together!!

just a little tip get some grapes and freeze them when you want a sweetie get a grape http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

even better - when u fancy a much - have an icecue. Another thing to help stop me binging would be to stop the weed and stuff, but the thing is this is what keeps me sane. I have decided against keeping a food diary, as i just get obsessive about it!
