Iam so depressed today. I woke up at 2 and couldn't get back to sleep. Such dark thoughts. I just wanted to cry. I tried to start healthy anyway, cereal and a banana. But then it was a couple of cookies, then some candy corn, then mac and cheese for lunch, no idea how much but it made me sick, but did I stop there? Of course not, carmel apple and more candy corn, then half of a stale donut. I am so disgusted with me. I almost think I do this to myself on purpose to hurt myself. Some people cut, I binge. I am miserable, still depressed, fat, ugly, stupid. I did go for a one hour bike ride, but unfortunately wasn't hit by a bus.

" heya's, i agree with gleason, you are totally not alone in this! everyone in this group knows what you are going through and is here to help! Last thursday i was at a friends house and he brought out all this food for the group of us and i ate SO much, of course it didn't stop there though, i continued to binge right through friday, saturday and sunday! By Monday morning i woke up with 'physiological pains' all over my body, like i could actually feel the fat being laid down! does anyone else get this? anyways, have been healthly yesterday and today (thank God) but my point is that i know what you're going through and you're not a bad person...we can help each other and beat this!!
Hope this helps!

p.s. does anyone else find that they are doing fine and then someone will offer you/give you food/snack and it destroys your eating plan for the day..leading to a binge? "

" I totally agree, i find the smallest thing can start me off. If something horrible happens, or if I feel real stressed in the middle of the week, my focus is lost for the rest of the week, I'll binge like crazy and "start again on Monday". Its so annoying!!!! "

" I woke up & ate a pint of ice cream (rocky road) I was definitely off to a bad start so I decided to order Chinese food. Ate some sesame chicken, beef fried rice, spring egg roll & two cans of pepsi. For that moment in time I felt good but now I am in the regretting phase. Why do I do this to myself? I am with you Marah I think I am also doing this to hurt myself. How do we break this vicious cycle that we keep on going through in our daily lives? "

" Jillian~

I just want you to know that you need a lot more food than that to live off, especially when you are excersizing. So when you only eat that much during the day you are setting yourself up for a binge!! I know I do it almost everyday!! You think that the day will be different but nighttime roles around and the cravings hit you like no other. Just wanted to give you some advice with the best intentions in mind!! "
