Be careful of Pinkberry! The 13-ounce large size has 16 teaspoons of sugar (65 grams). That?s 1/3 cup of sugar in just the yogurt. The 8-ounce medium size has 10 teaspoons of sugar (40 grams). Toppings add more sugar and fat. Pinkberry has yet to release the ingredients in their yogurt so we don?t even know what it is. Pinkberry is loaded with sugar and hidden ingredients. It?s Candy in a Cup! |

i binged yesterday, but i had around 270 calories before i did end up eating, at 8pm. i wanted more but... well. i read an article about someone who gives speeches about BED. she said that on the day after a binge, one must be kind to herself and curious as to why the binge occured. get to the root of the problem, and break the cycle. i'm bound to have a good day today! good luck, ladies and gentlemen! |

well, i kinda binged tonight. bag of popcorn, 60 cal pudding (almost stopped here...), few baby carrots, a fiber one bar, 2 bites of cole slaw, baked lays, and a small slice of meatloaf. i think i still stayed within 2000 cals for the day though but i still feel so guilty - i really only wanted to eat 1500 at the most. it could have gotten worse, i almost started eating cereal but i stopped myself and jumped on this board. it's like i get so upset when food is gone. funny thing. today at work someone mentioned to me that i probably never get hungry and never eat. i just thought if only you knew. tomorrow is a new day. i am determined to make it a good one. then vacation to new york city for four days so no binging at all...it will be nice. talk to you all later. |

| today since i've woken up all i've wanted to do is eat. i don't know why either, i'm not even that hungry. well, actually i kind of know why. i weighed myself this morning and gained a pound, which upset me, even though it really shouldn't have. i've had dry cereal (choc. honey combs), some leftover meatloaf, a couple grapes, some more dry cereal (frosted flakes), a 100 cal pack of pretzels and a small cottage cheese cup (which i honestly almost avoided). ugh. there are so many other things i should be doing, like packing and exercising, but i just want to eat. well, i'm drinking water now which has definitely helped me to stop. hopefully the rest of the day will be better. talk to you all later. | ||

Okay, I just need to rant. I have been doing so well with not even wanting to binge for almost three weeks now - and then hte weekend came. I binged through lunch on Saturday, dinner on Sunday, and just ate all my maintenance cals for breakfast today. :(
Original plan was to not eat for the rest of the day to balance it out, but I realized that that was my old coping mechanism and I was gonna force myself to live with the consequences of my binge. So I had a few bites of chicken at lunch (all I could eat since I felt so nauseous from shoveling in the am) and hten a sensible, small dinner. Then I worked out, but not a two hour cardio stint like I would usually do. And I'm resolving that tomorrow I will work hard to not binge adn figure out why I have been binging (I kinda think I know - physical disease is acting up :( and I think I just wanna eat away the pain). So yeah, this is a rant. Thanks for listening. Congrats ot all of you! And I will try to be better. |

Why is it that I can either be way under cals (undereat) or way over (binge/overeat) but can't stop myself in between? If I start I can't stop, if I don't start, i don't want it and don't feel hungry or deprived. WHAT GIVES???
I don't wanna turn to anorexia now! Anyone have tips? If not, it's okay, just needed to whine to people who understand. Thanks |

hey guys....i haven't been on for ages since got upset with mum implying i was fat.
It is amazing how fast this thread goes on....it is actually comforting to know that so many ppl are going thru the anorexia to bulimia to binge eating stage like i have. Sarah2286, I guess i don't have any tips but i know wat u mean. its been so long since i've eaten normally. i either eat too little like 500cals a day or too much 3000 cals or more a day :( I know this isn't my place to say but i envy the people that manage to even have a normal eating day. I've been binging EVERYDAY and there has been only probably 3 good days out of 9 months that i haven't binged. I don't know what you mean by a binge day then a normal day but i certainly think it's better than binging everyday. But i think i'm getting better :):) i'm sooo much happier and not so freaked by my binging. I'm eating less compulsively so not as fast, not as much and not thinking as negatively. eg. If i've eaten 3 cookies, i might as well finish the whole packet, etc and i can actually stop when i feel a bit full not when i'm totally stuffed :) I'm sooo psycho now from the prozac so my pschiatrist let me reduce the dosage and i'm slitting my wrists less often. prob about twice a week instead of everyday. but i do have like a cross scar on my stomach coz i hated the size of it and some scars on my arms. Oh well...at least if i become a dietitian and help others in ed's i can have evidence that i went through the same thing i'm glad i'm a lot more positive but i'm still eating about 600 more cals than i should really...so i have like 2600cals when i'm supposed to have 2000cals...therefore i only gain about 1 pound every week which i'm not completely happy about but then again not so sad about it. I really am praying for you guys and sympathesise. I look forward to good reports and to the one day of a week that i don't binge :) hey why do we binge eaters know how to eat healthy and eat like 100cals packets and cottage cheese and diet stuff? Do you think that's wats making us binge? that we try to eat too healthy sumtimes? I always seem to give into chocolate but always but fat free yoghurts and crackers etc. thanx for listening :) lil tee |

| hi everyone. well i had a wonderful 3 days of not binging and doing a lot of walking on my trip to nyc, but today i came home and had a horrible night. i ate so much. but the good news is i'm doing a walk tomorrow for the american cancer society so that will not only keep me from binging but also work off some of these extra calories. ugh. i can't believe i did this again. but i drank a lot of water too so hopefully that helps keep the weight off. | ||

Hi everybody. I'm Olivia, I'm 16, and let me tell you some of my story.
Last year I became anorexic and was hospitalized. I was officially through with my meal plan in November, and binged my way to get the doctors off my back. Since then, the binging hasn't stopped and is getting worse. With each binge I consume about 5000 calories or usually more. I don't eat the other days to keep the weight off. Recently I have binged 2 weeks straight. I'm sick and tired of it. I might need to be put on medication if it doesn't stop. It's holding me back from life. I pretty don't go anywhere and lie to not do anything. Does anyone have any suggestions to help? It would be much appreciated. thanks =) |

| after a good day, of course i totally blew it tonight, taking in about 1000 cals of mini rice cakes, chips, and cereal. ugh. i guess it's not too bad because my total daily intake was probably around 2500 cals, which is less than the 2800 I need for maintenance, but i'm still so upset. it seemed inevitable that i was going to binge, and i just let it get the best of me. damn. hopefully with exercise tomorrow i can even it out. sad thing was i actually put the box of cereal away but then went back and grabbed it a second time :(. food is so annoying. no matter what i do, it doesn't seem to help me stop. i feel so selfish too because there are so many other things i should be worrying about but i just keep coming back to this. ugh. take care everyone and good luck tomorrow. | ||

olivia, i wish i could help you but i really don't know what to say because i do almost exactly the same thing. there are days where all i'll do is eat and sleep the whole day and i don't want to do anything else. when i binge, i have no energy and it sucks because there are so many things i should be doing but i'm just so lazy and can't think about anything else but the binge and what it's doing to my body, which just leads to more binging. all i can do is wish you luck and hope you can get over this disorder along with the rest of us. take care. |

what if we could text each other when we feel a binge coming on or in the middle of one or just when we are feeling down? I'm sorry olivia. Anorexia was just one step on the path to binging for me as well. It doesn't hurt as much anymore for me... But each day can be a struggle, embarrassing, self-loathing, etc... I really envy people who can just eat then be done. But tomorrow's another day. I'm having cheerios for breakfast :) |

I want to stop the binging too...which makes me one of many! I recently started binging again after a good two month period of absolutly no binging at all. I'd really like to get that attitute toward food back again. I think I need to realize that I CAN say NO when I feel a binge comming on, weather it's over indulging just for the taste, or boredom eating...I need to tell myself that no, I don't have to give in just because the food is there. o.O |

i think you all need to stop being so food focused. no, it's not easier said than done, it's simple. food ISNT bad. food makes you LIVE. its all about MODERATION, and don't say that you can't control it. it's all mental, and it's obviously all about self control. seriously, all of you need to really stop and think of how ridiculous you sound. you're letting food control you. just listen to your body; if you're hungry, EAT. if you're not, GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. it wasn't that hard all those years before. food will be there tomorrow. and the next day. you don't need to shovel it all down, especially if youre going to feel bad right after. you're just digging a deeper hole.
and don't try to tell me that i don't know what i'm talking about. i suffered from an eating disorder; i'd do whatever to avoid food, and have all those stupid rituals that i thought would only make me lose more weight. when i finally realized how malnourished and skinny i was, i started eating again. for a little bit, i had the mind set that it was impossible to eat decent meals; i had to gorge all the time. but it's just not worth it. just live your life. it's all in your head. and if you gain weight, oh well. it's life. people gain and lose weight. people grow. people shrink. the best thing about it is that you can ALWAYS lose weight. it's all mental. just apply it to your actions. |
