It is sooo yummy and you can get it in almost any flavour.
It reminds most of us of our childhood.
It's crunchy and milky..
You can tell yourself its somewhat healthy ( whhhhaaat?)
and it is a simple carbohydrate...you never get full...

I have had too many love afairs with cereal.

[BootyBootyBooty]

I can't even start on cereal.

My hand is up too, count me in on the bingeing on cereal. I haven't done it in a very very long time, but it was a major trigger for me...have one bowl and I had the whole box. :s

[Wendy]

I don't know what it is, but I think that since I didn't get to eat sugarey cerals as a kid I just covet them now. I remember going to my girlfriend's houses for slumber parties and in the morning when we would have cereal,, I would easily eat 3 or 4 bowls of the sugarey stuff because I knew that when I got home it was back to plain cheerios or muselii or something

[R2D2]

I know what you're all saying about the sugary cereals, the thing is I always preferred the wholewheat versions. I still do! The nuttier and more grainy the taste, the better. I never even added sugar to cornflakes or rice krispies etc. And I love bran based cereals and muesli!!!

Hey Ladies,

Can everyone do me a favor here? Post this thread on your facebook wall or twitter page please. There are some private research people interested in this information and we need to find out more details about what other women's worst binges are.

We all would love to hear more stories.

So please post this thread on your facebook or twitter pages.

Thanks,

Admin

Hi,

I know that in order to carry out research there must be research subjects, but posting this on any of my social networks is a complete no-no. I don't want people who have no idea about my lifestyle knowing about what I've binged on. That's personal. I only share with OL ladies because I feel I can.

Sorry!

[Wendy]

I am with R2D2. I think my friends and family would really freak out. I feel like people here understand in a different way than just friends and family do. We understand that we are neurotic like this because the competition/bodybuilding lifestyle is very unusual, and they most likely would judge rather than understand.

I am with both of you ladies!

Other than the ladies here and my BF..NOBODY in my 'real' life has any idea about my struggles and I want to keep it that way.
I feel that this site is a safe place for me....and I would prefer to keep it that way.

I feel the exact same way.
What I say on OL stays on OL.
It's a great place to say how I feel, have others who relate and no one judges you.

[FabuLiz]

I'm no competitor, but I still go through the same struggles when it comes to food. And still, no one understands me as I know the girls here do when it comes to a variety of things. I haven't posted in this thread but I can completely relate to everything that was said here. And cereal? Yeah, huge weakness!

[alygrrl]

I had a bad one this weekend, it seemed to span about 3 days too.
Chocolate...chocolate...chocolate...
handfuls of cereal
pb sandwiches
more chocolate
wine
more chocolate...

I was sick by the end of the weekend.
Fortunately I am recovering well...water weight is pretty much gone.

[mermaid]

Why have I never read this thread??? Its so wierd cause when Im recovering from a binge I feel so alone, dirty and ashamed. I never would have imagined so many other women go through the same thing... Why? Why do we do it? Why is it so hard to control?

I cant really remember a specific day when I went all out cause all my binges are pretty bad, altho some are far worse then others and sometimes I can even gain control but that is VERY rare.

Oh and I can purge just by standing in front of a toilet... Thanks to a very disfunctional ex-friend. She taught me how to binge and purge. Maybe I had the binge thing down pat before I even met her but she taught me how to purge for sure. I can even purge if I feel full from a clean portioned meal. I think perhaps Ive purged more then I've binged... Its all so sick. Altho I can say I havent purged in a long time.

I find that my worst binges come during my PMS (or rather PMDD) so what, at least once a month? How do I control that? How can I control waking up in the middle of the night to eat crap? Its in my mouth before my eyes are even open... Its depressing and makes me feel terrible...

[Nic902]

I too had a tough few days...3 binges in 5 days I ate everything in the house and even stopped at the store and bought stuff too. Cereal, candy, cookies, oats, nuts, protein bars, crackers...you name it, I ate it!
Just like you Rosie...I was up and eating at 3am! I actually woke up my BF from all my crunching...how embarrassing!
You are not alone, as you can see a lot of us have been in the same situations.

Nic, I know this is a very serious situation but... I couldnt help laughing out loud (seriously) when I read that you were crunching so loud you woke up your BF... I was picturing you chewing with a mouth full of capt'n crunch... Why capt'n crunch? Cause its the crunchiest cereal I ever had. You know the kind that cuts the roof of your mouth??? LMAO, spoken like a true food addict.

[Nic902]

LOL! Nope...Dry Cheerios...out of the box! I was on the couch too and he was in bed...I must have really been going to town
He walked in the living room and said "What are you eating? You woke me up"! OMG I was mortified!

Oh and yes Captain Crunch is so good..but yet so painful!

Honestly, where the hell does all that stuff even fit! I ate all that within a 5 hour time frame.

[Nic902]

I thought about all the stuff I had binged on and I wondered the same thing! I'm guessing I was taking in close to 10,000 cals And I wonder why my digestive system was so screwed up...that just isnt right!
