| Welcome to BA. My name is Nicole and I'm a binger. i decided that it could be helpful to have a forum for those of us trying to recover from this evil thing called binge eating disorder (BED). Whenever you have success... post here! Whenever you have struggles... post here! need support to stay out of the cookie jar?.... post here! i'll be posting my intake of calories everyday in hopes that showing all of you what i eat will keep me from OVER EATING. anyone with the same struggles?? |

Hi guys, I'm so glad we're all keeping up with this!! And thanks to those who post helpful links. I like reading all of 'em. :)
Throwing out the chocolate was hard. And I'm super-cranky today. rdlm, funny you ask if I like fruit...I went out and bought some strawberries and bananas today in case the craving strikes!! And I'm going to do the tooth-brushing trick in a little bit because I'm feeling snacky. I just want to go to bed but my boyfriend is coming over. He doesn't believe that I'm in a bad mood. lskdfjdskljflkjs! Okay. Hang in there, guys. |

So I think I did good at dinner. I had sole. It was lightly breaded and I had them fry it in olive oil insted of butter. I had 2 pieces of garlic bread, yikes. green beans, a 1/2 cup pasta with tomato sauce, 1/2 deviled egg. 1 peice of salami and a couple of olives. I felt like I was pigging out, but when I entered into my log it wasn't so bad. I'm still under for the day. My man sucked down 2 candy bars while I chewed my gum. I had to ask him to stop making mmmm noises.
Good to see you tinytot. I hope tomorrow is better. It's o-kay we have all been there and will be there again!! All right ladies, even if we fall off our plans, we are doing better because we are acknowledging it everyday!! Thanks for doing this with me! |

Sigh, united2gether, thanks a lot for the information! Today is another bad day. ::looks away ashamed:: and I started early too! Usually my binging takes place around the evening time. I would drink chocolate milk but I don't like milk. I stopped drinking milk since I was 3 or 4. The other thing is I can't stand the taste of chocolate milk. Weird right? Am I the only human being who doesn't like chocolate milk? I'll have skim milk in my oatmeal or milk in my coffee but I just don't like milk, chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla. Haha.
I do bring snacks. This is my food schedule. I eat a bowful of special k at 6:30am before I go to school with a banana and dannon ligh n fit yogurt. Then around 9:30 I'll have some fruit or veggies to snack on. Grapes, apple slices, cucumbers, carrots, whatever happens to be in the fridge that day. For lunch (which is at noon), I'll have a turkey sandwich on whole wheat or a chicken sandwich on whole wheat. Sometimes it'll be a salad with grilled chicken. Some days when I binged the day before, I would bring a lunch. I'll just eat cucumbers and pineapples for lunch. I know it is bad but my mind set is "I'm not gonna binge today, so it's okay." School ends and practice starts at 3. I usually don't eat anything before practice, although I know I should. If i do, it's either more fruits or veggies or if I'm good that week, I'll reward myself with a special k bar. Usually on days we have a meet, I'll have a special k bar but that's only so I'll have the energy to not slack off. My diet is pretty healthy from 5am til 5pm. After that, it just spirals downhill. I'm always eating fruits and vegetables. I have one banana and apple per day. I used to hate bananas and apples, now it's like I can't go a day without one. But that's not the problem. The problem is the binging. I need it to stop! I am seriously contemplating buying almonds to snack on and hoping I don't binge on those too. We had pistachios in our house and man, I totally went mad on those. I ate them all. I love peanuts, peanut butter, peanut butter cookies, peanut whatever.. Haha.. =( |

united - thanks for the support & helpful information. i am dusted off & feeling more determined today. brought some hand weights to work today to exercise with while its slow. also planning on some cleaning, that will at least get me off my butt.
rdlm - you did good at dinner, be proud. tinytot - we miss you, do come back. after having my bad day yesterday for dinner, i ended up with a lean cusine spaghetti & meatballs & a skinny cow. i was over my quota, but felt i ended up not too terrably bad. holding hands, giving strengths, good luck to you all for today. one day at a time, if we loose ok, if we maintain ok, just gotta deter the binging. i am feeling stronger today. |

Kayque ~ i understand and I don't drink choklit milk either. The thing that makes it good is that it has a combination of carbs, protein and fat in it.
carbs digest most quickly. and if you strip out the fiber (like juice or sugar instead of natural form like an orange or banana), then it digests even more quickly. protein takes longer to digest and you need a certain amount a day to help with those musckles ~ especially as an athlete the fat takes even longer to digest.... when it's all combined in your tummy, a combination of these foods will stick with you longer than simply eating cereal or veggies... alternative sources of proteins... nuts, peanutbutter, cheese, smoothies (did you ever notice that the yoplait smoothie has more grams of protein than the yogurt? ~ same goes for the other brands!) eating control and bingeing can be on anything... especially if I think I'll never get that yummy food again. but hey... we can eat whatever we want, whenever we want... just because we want... but, instead, we choose not to overeat and hurt our bodies with food. we choose to nourish ourselves. we choose to feed our bodies so it will be healthy ~ and we choose to choose every bite! enjoy every bite! guilt free!!! and know that we can choose to eat more later... but let's work on being in control... if we are having a bad day... forget about trying to lose weight that day and let's try to maintain our weight... and choose to eat a few more yummy, nutritious calories! or even a few more dang it... it's better to choose what we want to eat, enjoy it, every bite, guilt free than hide behind that couch stuffing our face with food like we'll never get the opportunity to eat that food ever again.... just isn't so... if that is the only food i want to eat... like for me it's m&m's or a box of macaroni & cheese... well i can have that each and every day until the cows come home... but... i will give my body what it needs to live (maintain my weight)... not more... I don't need to over-eat and hurt myself unless I choose to particpate in something special like a turkey dinner... or just because today i choose to eat an extra couple hundred calories... let's work on getting the control back... food is not good or bad... is what we do with it... and I R E F U S E to hurt myself with food today!!! |

Kayque ~ sorry I got sidetracked...
What I wanted to say... is look at working some protein and some of the healthy fats into your day. It will stick with you more... like an eggwhite scramble (in a bit of olive oil) take almonds or pistachios (btw you can have a bunch more pistachios than almonds for the same cals!!!) for snacks... peanutbutter to eat with your bananana... heck, even a pb nanner sandwich ;) used to eat pb & nanners & pickles... reminds me, i adored pickles dipped in mustard! :::sigh::: the salt kills me so pickles are off my list... |

That is definately what I need to do, find and take my control back. When I first started my diet, I had so much control. Now it's lost and I don't know where to begin to find it. ::laughs::
I totally butchered today. I ate all the peanut butter cookies and then daddy brough home more. Me thinks he's doing this to torture me. To see if I can hold back on eating the cookies. Obviously I can't. I ate those too. What I'm really craving for is a brand new day and a fresh garden salad with a pretty chicken breast. Gimme a lemon to squeeze on top too. That's what I'm talking about. Then some pineapple afterwards. I love me some pineapple. I can eat pineapple for the rest of my life. Why can't I binge on pineapples huh? |

Hello ladies! I'm so proud of all of us for checking in and being honest. This is how we get better and change our patterns!!
gr8, I think you are so right about how we can have what we want whenever we want it. I want to think like that. What's weird is I can have ice cream in my freezer and hardly touch it at all, but when the binge strikes, oh good lord, I'm eating that then running to the store to get more. When I'm feeling good, I can just eat a little here or there, but when I need to comfort myself, I have to eat untill I'm in a food coma. Kayque, you need to tell him to not give you access to the cookies. If he wants them around he needs to hide them and not tell you about it. What he's doing is sabatoging. It'd be like if you were an alcoholic and he was bringing you beer. You need to ask for his help and support. Or if you want 1 cookie, tell him to leave only 1 out for you. I can not have that stuff around. I look for an excuse to eat it all!! On one hand I like living by myself because when I'm healthy I don't have any junk in my house, on they other hand when I binge, there's no one to see! United, I so have a weakness for mexican. I could eat it every night. My favorite taquria knows me and always has my stuff ready and waiting. mmmm nachos. I'm so gross because I love fake cheese. Real cheese just makes a gooey oily mess. But fake cheese spreads just right!! They put all the good meat, sour cream, jalapenos. (I hold the guac. because I figure it saves me 300 callories) love it!! So tonight, I'm making ribs, corn, and vegies. I'm going to drink a few glasses of wine and I am going to enjoy it. I think I've only consumed about 60o calories today, so I feel like I have room to play. No dessert though. I just really want to stay away from the sugar. I feel like it's a big trigger. I have not had any dessert since monday, so the hard part is over, I think. Last night I wanted sweets very bad, but I just stuffed like 5 peices of gum in my mouth and crawled into bed. Today while I was at work I felt the binge urge come. I don't know whet brought it on. I was just cutting someones hair and I just had this thought of curling up with all my favorite foods and hiding out and watching T.V. It's good my boyfriend is coming over. I had to come up with a dinner plan because, once again, no one see's me binge! I actually have not eaten with him so I could go home and binge. I'm starting to tell him more about it. I figured i have to take responsibillity and be honest about it. He was pretty shocked. He can't relate, but doesn't seem to judge. O-kay ladies tonight and tomorrow, we will all be strong and take care of ourselves. We will eat when we are hungery and stop when we are not hungry. We will be good to ourselves and be kind to our spirits. We will ask for support from the people around us, because this cannot be done alone. Group hug!!! |
