junk food binge

[sherryc]

I was wondering if anyone else has been having junk food binges. Yesterday at the beach I had a root beer, cheddar popcorn, coffee cake, and today I thought I'd start fresh, but I blew it with choc. mint cookies, mini peppermint patties and a handful of corn chips!! My bloated stomach is touching the computer screen as I type. (serves me right).x( I did GS Shoulders and GS leg and 30 laps in the pool, but I'm sure that only wore off one cookie! Sometimes I wonder if it is the TOM, but I've had a partial hysterectomy, so I don't really know if I can use this excuse anymore. Anyway I had to vent, and maybe by typing I wore off a corn chip.

Blech - I just had a junk food binge tonight and am disgusted with myself. We're going to the beach on vacation in a month and this isn't going to help me look better in a bathing suit!

Sherry, my eating has been off for a couple of weeks, sometimes I feel like I'm not making head way with my workouts, just doing damage control. My cravings and willpower seem to ebb and flow with so many different things, TTOM, the cycles of the moon, the seasons.......I'm not sure if it's all of those, some of those or any of those I just wanted you to know that you are not alone in your caving to cravings. You have been working out hard, keep it up. We'll be better tomorrow right!?!

Take Care

You can't be to hard on yourself. Everyone as those days,I guess as long as we don't have to many of them.I think we focus on how good the food taste at the time and we don't think about how we are going to feel afterwards.
I was in the habit of picking. Picking while I was cooking, picking in between meals....etc...you get the picture. Then one day, I swear, I gained 5 lbs and I couldn't get rid of it. Over the last month I have ditched it though and hoping to go for 5 more.
Anyway....your not alone!

Sherry,

You are definitely not alone. I am one of those who can start on a food binge and put away a disgusting amount of food, all bad for me. It is usually during PMS week but has been during time of stress, etc., also. I just keep working out and like Laurie said, damage control is the objective a lot of times. What is really bad is that after a particularly bad eating binge, I feel so bad, working out is the last time I want to do. It is one of my ongoing goal to curb this but at times it is a bit overwhelming. Hang in there, don't be too hard on yourself.

I too can eat a lot in a short amount of time. Once I start it is a free for all. Usually it happens when I have time to myself. Anyhow, I try not to do it too often for fear my old habits of bad eating will return. Melissa

Please do not beat your self up. I have bad week ends. It will not kill you. I am sure you still look great. I just try to do a little bad and just on the week. That way i do yard work, walk the kids at the park. I will still go back and do cathe. We all been there.

I'm actually glad to read this post because I am GUILTY and it always feels good to know I'm not the only one. We have a stash of candy for when we take the kids to the movie. I'm sorry to say that I was going to have just a little taste of it the other day but now it's almost all gone. I topped that off with some cheetos. This happened two days ago and I still feel like crap. I think I go long enough between binges like this that I forget how bad it makes me feel so I do it again and reset my memory threshhold. Typing this confession has been somewhat cathartic by my guts are still bloated!
