And I cant stand being chubby!!

.. Cause I do! Miss way-too-chubby.

No matter how much I want to stop bingein, how many times I think "this is the last time", no matter how discusting and fat I feel, it doesnt help. I just keep on, every day, eating whatevers in the house. Even my mom is like "DONT EAT THE BREAD, I NEED IT"... Now I dont even go out cause I feel so miserable about my body.. Cant show up at the gym when everybody can see I have gained too much in a short time. Of course people should get what I struggle with, or they think I "love food too much". ugh..

What hurts the most (haha, dramatic) is that Ive been "anorexic" for the past 6-7 years, not eating much at all, just eating the right stuff and being very underweight the past 4 years. Since I started to eat to gain weight and get "fit" by lifting weights I've gained around 55 (!!!) lbs.. I thought it was enough at around 22 lbs, but then I started bingeing like crazy and couldnt stop... Gaining even faster. Now I'm even too afraid to step on a scale after I passed 130 :(

So, as always, I say today was the last day of endless, painful bingeing and tomorrow I'm gonna start a diet to get back my control and lose weight :cool: I say it about every day, but I havent been on a forum in ages about it, so maybe it will help :) Last time, before I got hospitalized and wanted to recover I dropped 65 in less than a year, so 30 should be piece of cake? (or fruit..)
I really need this, or else I'm at the point of suicide, no kidding.

So anyone wanna join?? Binge-free, no more calories than 1300 and no less than 700. I'm thinking about staying around 800-1200, eating as less as possible of sugar, gluten (really triggering) and probably high-fat cause then my amount will drop drastically. Veggies, some fruit and lean protein ftw! When I've lost enough to dare step up at the gym im gonna start weightlifting and other workouts that I love again, until that I'm going to jog or walk alot. Dont know what my weight is, but I add more than it probably is and say 140. I'm going down to 110-115, with muscles I think its going to be good :p Hoping to reach it before october?! You in?? I need support!

Hi Jennie!
I'll join! I have gained about 25lbs due to binge eating and want to get it off asap! I haven't even stepped foot in the gym I joined coz I'm too embarrassed about my weight gain. I'm starting on a 4 week plan of 500-600 cals-hopefully I can do it. Let me know how u go-I'm here if u need to talk.

I'm in! I seem to have about the same amount to lose as both of you (25-30lbs gained in two months from binging :S)...and Jennie, I'm the same as you, in that I refuse to get back into the exercise I love (Bikram yoga) until I've lost a reasonable amount of weight. I'm going to avoid triggering foods too- sugar is my Kryptonite- and stick with fresh veggies/fruit/tofu/legumes (I'm a vegetarian).

I am planning on a 7-day water fast starting on the 20th though, and perhaps a 10-day one a few weeks after that- is that okay? Also I was thinking of re-trying the UpDayDownDayDiet principle again when I'm not fasting, maybe.

hippie! You're in Oz too! So we've got the good old 11-12*kgs* to lose then ;)

i'm in! and i really need support, too. i've been bingeing since mid march. since then i've gained like 65 lbs or more. i managed to stay binge free the last 3 weeks but since tuesday i've done nothing but binge once again. i need to lose these 65 lbs (or more) as fast as possible. i'm so sick of this. i'm gonna try eating around 800 cals/day. i know it's a lot but i have exams in july and i can't afford being all depressed and weak again. also i plateaued the last time i did 500 cals/day. so maybe 800 will work.
lets do this. :)

Now I'm trying to follow my own plan which is eating around 650-800 cals on Mon-Thurs and 900-1100 on Fri-Sun..And I dance 5x times per week for 2-3 hours and exersice like insane in the morning for 2 hours..
I'm 127 now and by the end of this month I hope I'll be at least 120..I can't believe that in Feb I was 158 pounds 0_0
Anyways its TMI already lol

So if I'm reading this correctly, the plan here is to severely restrict in order to end the binge sessions?

Do you really think that's going to work? I've tried it...I always come crashing down. Stopping the calorie counting and eating slowly helped a lot, as difficult as it was.

Yeah it's not the greatest idea. Restricting tends to lead to binging. When I restrict, I ALWAYS end up binging. But I've been eating a normal healthy amount for a few weeks and I have no desire to binge whatsoever. Starving your body just makes it desperate for as much food as it can handle.

Completely agree and same here. I think a moderate solution works well for an extreme situation. Trying to fight an extreme with an extreme is risky business.

Yes please! Signing this doesn't make me "officially" a part of this, though. If anyone's interested in being my anti-binge buddy and updating each other at a daily basis with our progress, please let me know!

Preferably someone in my weight range so that we could possibly be on the same track

Hey! I'm ready to jump into a binge-free challenge, and I'm currently around 65kgs (and I use the metric system! *High five* :P). I'm also nineteen, and reading your most recent blog, I can really relate...down to every little detail!

So, anti-binge buddy? It's really hard for me to resist restricting massively (and failing, obviously), but I'm going to try for no less than 1200 per day :)
