What triggers me most, is being alone. Don't get me wrong, I love being alone, but then there's no one to stop me from going out in the kitchen, and grabbing whatever I wont all the time. Also food programs often triggers me.

If I'm alone or there's no one in the kitchen, when people tease me about my weight, when I'm upset/depressed (not really when mad though - that's when I exercise), or when family members are eating around me - I tend to eat more than I would if I were around friends or in public.

My biggest triggers lately....drinking/toking. Two things that I love. Sigh.

I haven't had a true eat-everything-I-can-get-my-paws-on binge in two weeks and I don't plan on having one ever again But when I did, it was usually because I was happy, or high, or because I had munchies left over from a high-binge and wanted to get rid of it all at once.

This is awesome! Can I ask how you are never going to binge again? What has gotten you through 2 weeks? I need a high myself and I use to turn to running but over the past several months my high has come from food... I binged yesterday, I woke up this morning and said to day is going to be a god day. I have had an apple for breakfast and I am going to start this freedom off Right.

What are you doing to avoid your Binge!! I need a little guidance but hearing this from you helps me to know I can do it I am EXCITED for this recovery

Thank YOU!!

Well, I will "warn" you that I did break my period of non-binging. But when I was on a streak of non-binging...it was triggered by a epiphany. I had been binging for a few days, and decided to look at the scale. I had a huge weight gain, and was so upset, I had a cutting relapse. I'm working on quitting cutting as well so I knew that if I were to binge again, it would likely result in cutting. Therefore, the binging had to go. I also realized that binging accomplishes absolutely nothing good, erases all my progress, sabotages myself, etc. It was all mental. I also realized that every calorie counts. Sometimes, eating a "normal" meal would trigger me to binge because I'd think "well, I already blew today, why not eat more?". Well, it's much better to just keep to that 600 or 700 or however many calories, than binging and taking in another 1000+.

I also take active steps to "protect" myself from future binges - not keeping binge food in my apartment, not taking money with me if I'm going out with friends, etc.

Ironically, I can fight the binge impulse if I've toked up. It's when I drink that it's a problem >_<.

Habit and feeling alone, mostly.

Although I just got back from clothes shopping with a friend who's lost a ton of weight and got to buy all these small sizes, and "shockingly" I binged when I got home :/
