WHY do we HAVE to..
Why can't I just say no?
To even the smallest thing,
I've eaten a total of
2,340 cal worth of chocolate
1,200 cal of protein bars
1,130 from a meatless big mac
I can't even remember what else I shoved down there.
Why though? Why couldn't I have stopped before I started?
WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERYDAY?cw 130

For me, once I start to binge there is really no stopping it. So it adds up very quickly as you very well know. Try to hang in there. I try to drink lots of water and remind myself how I will feel in a few hours after the binge. Guilt, bloated, etc. Anything to talk me out of it. It's hard, but sometimes it works.
And I take back all the things I said
to make you feel like that
And I just wish that I didn't feel
like there was something I missed
And I take back all the things I said to you
And I give it all away
just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
to have someone to come home to

I'm not familiar with the dynamics of your disorder (how bad your cravings are, how much up/down their intensity goes), but maybe you're just having a bad period. I have times when I just CAN'T chill out and avoid the binge. But luckily I have times when it goes so smooth by itself that I almost don't believe it.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad one.
Hang in there and keep trying. It can be pretty disheartening to be aware of a 'trap' and still fall into it over and over again.
When I do mess up I try to do 2 things (please excuse the golf language): 1) focus on dealing with the next healthy choice. This is a short game strategy. If the short game goes to hell then things start to unravel for me. I start to lose my way. 2) examine what external causes or decisions may be leading me to these traps in the first place. Sometimes I can avoid problems this way. And sometimes it is just helpful being aware of them. This is the long game.
Don't give up.

It's odd because my weight isn't going up too rapidly yet, and i've been binging on chocolate EVERY DAY (not exaggerating at all).
My stomach is just so sore to the touch, my back and bones ache too now, probably because lack of nutrients..
The thing is, I have healthy food readily available, healthy snack food, I FUCKING LOVE CAESER SALAD <3
BUT
I would rather walk all the way to the store for chocolate.
One time at 2:00am I was CRYING because I didn't know where I could get some chocolate icing at that hour.
I know I have a problem, and I've been to a doctor.
Funny thing is, I'm too skinny to have a binge eating disorder.
I weigh 130lbs, i'm 5'6.
WTF.
I DON'T WANT TO GET FAT AGAIN
is there a pill or something that takes away cravings/hunger/munchies/wanting food entirely?cw 130

I seem to go into a totally different mind-set when I binge... I can be so controlling with my food one day, and the next it's like I'm a completely different person - I make up excuses and allow myself to eat all this crap.
I haven't been binging quite so often lately, but my weight is still stuck at this level - I'm fucking sick of it - I wish I could turn back time and stop myself from ever binging.

You may be putting too many restrictions on yourself. It's more helpful to have guidelines than restrictions. Mine are always changing, but lately: I focus on eating two meals a day (up to 800 cals a meal)...I try not to focus on nutrition too much, b/c it will cause me to obsess. I just focus on calories and meal frequency.

These kinds of foods can be addictive. Try hard at having a day of rest from them. You could maybe start off by having your last meal of the day as a raw salad?

Sorry to butt in, but I totally have the same problem. I am not overweight at all, possibly even underweight, but have no eating problem. Although looking at this sight, maybe I do. I have a binge eating problem I think. I also hide stuff from my other half.
Thing is, like you, i eat and eat, and I think becuase I dont put on too much weight, I think its ok to do it again and again, even though i know im eating more than I should, and im not even hungry. Im 5' 2, about 106lbs, but im very small boned, got tiny wrists. I know that it doesnt sound alot, but I am very wobbly on bum and thighs, and every time I have a binge, i water up, get very very bloated etc.
Im considering taking something called appesat, its an appetite suppresent, because I can just eat and eat all day and still not feel satisfied.
I know diet and nutrition and fitness etc, but still i do it to myself? Anyone got any answers?
im feel for everyone in the same boat.
