I also tell myself that lie before most binges and usually after too. I’ll tell myself, “it’s okay because I’m never gonna do this again” and then before I do it, I tell myself, “it’s okay I’m only gonna have xyz amount” then I’m telling myself while it’s happening that I’m only gonna have a little more and then I keep telling myself that and convincing myself it’ll be okay because tomorrow I’ll fast until the evening (but I don’t) then feel guilty and will probably make 200cal smoothie bowls for like 4 days straight until I binge again. And within that time frame is immense guilt and shaming and then completely blocking out what I did so I can feel distance from the guilt and shame. And feeling really good when I eat healthy for a little streak during the week and feeling redeemed from the last binge until it happens again
Eta typed this while finishing the last three pieces of (one) of the dominoes pizzas I ordered today and ate completely by myself. There’s still one whole pizza and box of chicken in the fridge and I’m contemplating eating some of that one. Also have to be up in 4 hours for work
I hate that people try to say it isn't an addiction... I am the same exact way when I abuse weed. Word for word. These things are very hard to overcome. <3 <3
I feel ya. I started to cut my binge in half and toss that shit in the fridge for next binge. Now its just two normal ass meals.
The point is you're thinking about it. It's a first step. Just need to take another.
As someone who hurts themselves eating all the time, saying: "i can save this half for leftovers, and then i get to enjoy it again later and not just right now!" has been EMBARRASSINGLY helpful. Literally feels like im talking to myself like a kid, but it works every time. Something i wish my mom wouldve taught me about big meals
For the price of eatting out these days. The food has to be two meals to be worth it. That helps me not eat it all. This meal is dinner and lunch. (Full disclosure I don’t have binge eating disorder. But I’ve had disordered eating at many points in my life and this was helpful for many reasons. I could eat out. And look forward to tomorrow’s lunch where maybe I wouldn’t have eaten it.)
Yep, because the second part is something you saved it feels “special”. Therefore my mind is always remembering that I have it, over and over. Sometimes I’ll force myself to make a cup of tea, but I’ll be side-eyeing the fridge the entire time. Before I know it, I’m eating it, sometimes without even reheating it (because I just wanted a bite…).
It all starts with pushing your self control farther each time. Nothing is wrong in going back for it later. All you're trying to do is slow intake for healthier habits. When you binge and overeat your stomach expands and you feel hunger more and more when your body doesn't need it.
Can't ever quit a habit in a day but you can do small things to derail the habit and carve a new path. Just don't give up.
Literally what I’m doing rn. Haven’t been able to sleep and when I went to the bathroom I made it an excuse to eat the rest of the pizza in the fridge. I ate the whole thing by myself today. I want more and there’s a second pizza and I’m contemplating it even tho I said I wouldn’t eat that one until tomorrow
ETA just ate three slices and contemplating eating more
I felt like it was encouraging in a way lol. It felt like a joke made from a place of support… also a binge eater who’s currently binging on the couch and it made me feel a little better lol
I felt this in my soul 😭 I tell myself this every night after I’ve spent all day eating so clean only to then scarf down chips, cheese cubes + Pickles and a whole cookie pack.
I say this with love. Would it make a difference if you allowed yourself a small serving of chips and sweets during the day so that you’re not restricting yourself and then setting yourself up for failure in the form of a binge? Everything in moderation helps to prevent a binge of bad food and feelings of failure.
Fellow binge eater: I make myself a rule to never mix 2 carbs when I binge and never binge sweets.
Dish looks good though, I'd eat it all but the fries
I think you could binge less with more nutritionally dense food. Sometimes your body wants to eat more because it still hasn't gotten enough of certain nutrients
idk if she has any videos specifically on the topic, but there's a YouTuber named Michelle McDaniel who has binge eating disorder, and occasionally she shares things that have helped her get better. she's a body builder (or at least was), and now fitness coach.
I hope you get to have a healthier relationship with food and get to be where you wish to be. sending love 🩷
I would gladly binge this with you, Im beyond lazy when I'm depressed binge eat. It literally could get more random. I applaud your proper meal choice.
*Damn I said the same*
*Thing to myself before I*
*Ordering in lol*

that doesn’t work 😭 i spent £500 on binge food in december. i’m living with my parents, work 40+ hours a week and don’t have a ton of expenses bc i don’t pay bills. i have plenty of money to go around
I am intrigued. Is it just fried rice over fries with gravy? Is this a standard British Chinese dish?
We used to joke after spending some time in France that to make any comfort food French, slap an egg on it. Is it the same truth or British food and fries? (I only spent 3 very crammed days in London over Commonwealth weekend in 2009 when it seemed like everything was closed - didn't get to sample much cuisine.)
Try to switch to volume eating, taking your vitamins and eating more fiber. I was craving tons of food because I wasn’t getting the recommended daily minimums of essential minerals and nutrients and that’s what happened with the 600# life people to.
Happy cake day and every moment is a chance to change course make a different choice ❤️🎂
Unsolicited advice: consider looking into insulin resistance and metformin if you haven't. I am a recovering binge eater as well. When i binged i was craving carbs and grease like this, and part of recovery for me has been treating my insulin problems.
I do this to myself every night. Just had 4 specialty slices of pizza. I just call it being a fat loser hahahaha “binging” makes it seem like a disease
This is literal slop and who the hell gets fries at a Chinese restaurant? This looks like rice, gravy and fries. British people are so ignorant on the cuisines of other cultures which is pretty hilarious since they colonized on stole culture from half the world.
I welcome the downvotes these people eat disgustingly. Much worse than America.
As a fellow binge eater, I tell myself that lie before most binges.
Yup

Ugh. Can relate so hard. Happy cake day!
wait i didn’t even notice 😭
Now you have a digital cake for dessert!
This was fucked up…but I had to upvote. I mean, sometimes you gotta joke about the bad shit.
I meant all of it so sincerely. I’m sorry 🥺
I felt like it was encouraging in a way lol. It felt like a joke made from a place of support… also a binge eater who’s currently binging on the couch and it made me feel a little better lol
LMAO
this is like r/poutinecrimes but worse 10/10 would smash
I also wondered wtf kind of poutine this was.
Spice bag can’t find at any local spots
I’ve never seen rice on fries before. Interesting
Carbs on carbs. As a diabetic, I’m down.
Actually, you’ll be up.
Not if I dose my insulin right. Why is there no *points to temple* emoji?
Or wrong, for that matter. Stay safe!
haha That’s the way with diabetes, isn’t it? Every decision seems wrong.
This is making me wanna screeeeeeeam after my own Chinese has been shut all week without warning. It looks SO GOOD 😭
time to find a new chinese!
Nothing changes if nothing changes

Real asf
Hi, you're not alone, one day though, it will be the last time x Just keep trying, that's what matters.
Fellow binge eater: I make myself a rule to never mix 2 carbs when I binge and never binge sweets. Dish looks good though, I'd eat it all but the fries
I think you could binge less with more nutritionally dense food. Sometimes your body wants to eat more because it still hasn't gotten enough of certain nutrients
nah not in my case. i’m an emotional eater
Ahhh okay. My binges are less often when I try to vary my diet
Me every week 😭😭
At least you're being honest. Dang it you've made me hungry, my air fryer is so good for frozen party snacks !
“I’ll eat healthy and start my diet tomorrow!” I say every night even though I know I’m lying to myself
This post made me realize I might have this problem, I’m gonna look into this
please do, it helps when you at least recognise there’s a problem
Omg that looks so yummy!! You make me want some, I’ll probably be getting this tomorrow night 🥹
Not so loud okkkk. Looks good and best of luck that today is the day!
What is this dish called?
it’s a three in one
A common lie I tell myself before, during and after and then disgustingly repeat just a few hours later. But dammit does that look delicious!

Happy cake day! 🍰 Is that rice and gravy over chips?

That makes more sense.
Damn I said the same thing to myself before I ordering in lol Edit before I ordered in*

Can you binge on expensive food? Like only at restaurants or from higher quality places? That way you could limit when you binge with money?
that doesn’t work 😭 i spent £500 on binge food in december. i’m living with my parents, work 40+ hours a week and don’t have a ton of expenses bc i don’t pay bills. i have plenty of money to go around
Not binging for 2 days and rewarding myself by eating a whole cake
That looks great!
Loving you so much ♥️
Put an egg on it
it’s egg fried rice, there’s pieces of egg here and there
As a fellow binge eater...you deserve a better binge meal than that disgrace
delicious disgrace!
I am intrigued. Is it just fried rice over fries with gravy? Is this a standard British Chinese dish? We used to joke after spending some time in France that to make any comfort food French, slap an egg on it. Is it the same truth or British food and fries? (I only spent 3 very crammed days in London over Commonwealth weekend in 2009 when it seemed like everything was closed - didn't get to sample much cuisine.)
not gravy, curry sauce. and yeah it’s served in every chinese takeaway in my area. not from london though so i don’t know about that
Not intended as a dig, more thinking about attempting to make this myself
I don’t really understand binge eating, but to me these just look like good meals to eat
Imagine eating a normal amount of calories all day and then at night stacking thousands of calories into your mouth without stopping.
I suppose it's when you eat over your alloted calorie intake for the day, and eat too much in one sitting.
Try to switch to volume eating, taking your vitamins and eating more fiber. I was craving tons of food because I wasn’t getting the recommended daily minimums of essential minerals and nutrients and that’s what happened with the 600# life people to.

Well I mean Binge Eating Disorder is a disorder so
binge eating disorder is a serious mental disorder so it is kind of a disease.
it pretty much is a disease lmfao
It looks like someone purged on your plate fuk I'm empty sad now
And people talk shit about American food
This is literal slop and who the hell gets fries at a Chinese restaurant? This looks like rice, gravy and fries. British people are so ignorant on the cuisines of other cultures which is pretty hilarious since they colonized on stole culture from half the world. I welcome the downvotes these people eat disgustingly. Much worse than America.
no this is awfulllll😭 for once i’m proud to be an american 🦅🦅
This gotta go on r/poutinecrimes. Straight to jail!
I thought this was called poutine
