Binge Eating - Example Of A Nightly Episode

I had a binge episode the other night and I decided I would display everything out on a table. I wanted to put all the food together so everyone, including myself, can see an example of a nightly binge. This was a smaller episode and it contained more healthy foods. It all depends what I have in the house. IF grocery shopping hasn't been done in awhile, this is what I would typically find in the house. Usually, I eat very quickly, in a matter of minutes. Then depending on the weather, I'll go to the gym and over exercise - between an hour and a half to two hours of straight cardio.

I hate the feeling of not being in control. After I binge I'm in pain my stomach feels 4 miles wide and I want to throw up. The only thing that works for me is an extremely restricted diet and that's another problem in itself. I can't eat like a normal freakin person I get so irritated. It's either I eat to much and hurt myself or I restrict and starve which is also painful. I'm a therapist in training concentrating on eating disorders ...how ironic

all the rude comments are so uncalled for. I guess people just do not understand binge eating... This isn't something they have control over. It is a mental disorder and serious condition. Making fun of someone for binge eating is like making fun of someone for having a panic attack. It's an emotional disorder. We should offer support and not judgement.

I know exactly what this is like :( I'm a recovering binge eater & it's not easy at all. I remember waking up at like 3 AM & sneaking to the kitchen to eat full bags of chicken nuggets, bags of chips, pizza, lunchables, etc. People who sit around & make fun of this need help. My heart goes out to you, girl. I hope you're doing better.

@beefstewrt It's an emotional disorder: It's difficult to control. I had binge eating disorder and became overweight, and then I had anorexia and became underweight. It was just as hard to stop eating so much when I was a binger as it was to eat more when I was anorexic. I understand your point of view, though. I do think that I was being weak in both situations, but please try to understand that it is hard.

This isn't about making poor choices, this is an addiction. This woman craves food like alcoholics crave alcohol and drug addicts crave heroin or crack. This is a mental disorder she has no control over and at this point professional help is needed.

This is actually quite sad.

@fmhicks wow ignorant much? this is not about just food, it's a mental disorder. it's impossible for you to understand if you haven't actually experienced it. if your "solution" was that easy, binge eating would not exist.

oh and the being proud part no there not proud they ate the food but there proud when they puke up the food because now they have the control.
