usually starts with a salad, then will accelerate to wanting something sweet, usually cereal. And not just any cereal - cereal with protein powder, pnb, almonds, etc. The salty sweet concoction.
I once ate nearly a whole container of coconut oil and pure bran crackers. Felt HORRIBLE for days
I only have a little junk in the house for my BF...so I end up binging on clean foods. Cereal and oats w/ PP I will tear through!
See that's the thing. My binges are on junk. Because they are suppose to cheat meals, so we go out and buy the junk food ( we don't have it in the house either) and it turns into a cheat day or cheat hours because we buy so much and don't know when to stop. not good.
And I know I sould only buy one treat but I feel the need to buy piles and piles of it.

I have done that too! Hell, I have gone out shopping just to buy food to binge on...the candy I ate, wasnt left over from halloween...I went to the store and got it

Yeah I do this too! I was good for a while about keeping it in check but recenly I haven't been able to control it. I think for me it's a couple of things. 1. Stress - I am under alot lately between Paying for wedding (wedding plans it's self are fine it's the money we are spending) Second job, stress about the bulk and extra weight, stress about future fitness plans and what I want to be, stress of reading up on Implants and health and planning my workouts and meals, I can't wait to be able to afford a trainer again!! Stress about my day job.
2. Thinking my carb up days are treat days. I need to move toward making them clean
3. Not having them preplaned just setting an amount of carbs and aiming for it. I have been failing. I need to write it out. Therefore I will know excatly what to buy at the store instead of oh this looks good and this looks good.

Stress...especially financial stresses are my downfall too! We need to figure out other ways of coping that dont include FOOD
Wow!! I thought I was the only one with this problem and have been so embarrased about it. I kee thinking is their something wrong with me? I have gone to the dollar store and buy packs of candy bars, single packs of candy (mm's, recee cups), soft drinks, chips, ramen noddles. I could eat all this at one sitting. And for days would feel so bloated and sick and just HATE myself for letting myself do this. It is a vitious cycle with me. I often do this when I am at the point in my training where I am about to get over a hump. Often when my body is realy looking tight and toned. Why do I do this?? I think I know part of the problem. I was married for 8 years and my ex used to almost in a way moniter what I would eat. I was not allowed snacks of any kind and he often told me what and when we should eat. He suffered from an eating disorder at one time in his younger years. I used to never have a problem with food but when he started controlling my eating habits I felt out of control once we got divorced (It will be a year in Dec). I don't do this much but I need it to STOP!!

The Following User Says Thank You to Nic902 For This Useful Post:
Thanks Nic!! I really appreciate that! I am so glad to finally have the support that I need to beat this cause its not going to get me down or get the best of me!
well its nice to know that i'm not alone with all of this. i thought i was the only one that could put so much food away. i can't pinpoint my worst binge but have been struggling with binge cycles for the past 4 years (ever since i discovered the body for life free day) anyways, its been 2 months now since my last binge which is great for me but i seem to do great for a while and then the cycle will start back up again but hopefully i will stick with it and learn balance.
Yes one day at a time or it can be too overwhelming! I'm so glad that I found you guys! You are helping me more than you could ever know! It is so nice not to feel so alone!

Just reading that....My heart hurts for you
I have been struggling with binging lately too and I know exactly how you're feeling! I know it sucks, but take the day to relax and feel better...its hard but brush it off. DO NOT beat yourself up over this, it was one mistake!
I'm thinking about taking a yoga class...
