do you ever binge eat then get pissed at yourself?

[damac]

I was just wondering if Im the only person to go on wierd streeks of eating very healthy then pigging out for a couple days and going through the constant cycle of saying im doing something bad before eating crap, then being satisfied when it hits my tongue, then being pissed and depressed after your done?

I really can't explain why but am I nuts in observing that my body is calling for certain types of foods which happen to be junk when im stressed out due to other things?

I know what it takes to lose weight and didn't quit reach my goal back in april and have been dealing with some health and mone issues that has stressed me out terribly and Ive gone in constant up and down phases of dieting. A good week here, 3 binge days their, and also constant shuffling in my brain as to what I want to actually do?

Im just gonna try and forget about food starting tomorrow. You would think you could just eat your healthy stuff and be done with it and not worry about food but its like im feeding my stresses with food and have gained back 20+ pds. It sucks cause its like Im creating more problems for myself and you would think its as simple as not eating the crap.

Just wondering if this happens to somewhat normal people or if its just some bad habits left over from before with me since I was obese and food was my best friend for a few years now.

thanks!

Yeah, I do the exact same thing.

After dieting pretty well for a few days, I start toying with excuses to binge.... like "It'll give my metabolism a boost" and "I've worked hard, I deserve this"....

Then I completely overdo it, and feel absolutely terrible afterwards. A few times the guilt got so bad that I made myself throw up.... I hope I'll never do that again, because it's a dangerous habit to get into.

For me, it's less about stress and more about carb cravings. I see some food that I really want, and start entertaining the idea.... debating the pros and cons in my head. Usually it's in the morning, when I'm hungry and don't like the idea of facing another day of tuna, chicken and egg whites and I really just want a big bowl of fruit loops.

Although, I've discovered a technique which works quite well.... it's not usually my stomach that really wants the food, it's my mouth. I'm not really HUNGRY as such, but crave the taste.... and so what I do, is take a bite of pizza.... chew it up.... and then spit it out and wash my mouth out. Seems a bit strange, I know. But it works. Once I've had the taste in my mouth, I realise that it's nice but not enough to want to throw my whole diet off because of it. It works for me....

I do the same thing--chew the food, then spit it out.

I have the same problem. It seems like it gets worse the more I reduce carbs--anyone else notice this? I think those precontest bodybuilders are incredible in their willpower.

when I was cutting mad weight in high school for wrestling I used to do the same thing. In fact I would go out to eat at lunch everyday with my friends to wherever they went (usually subway, but sometimes taco bell, mcdonalds, etc) I would buy a whole meal and just chew and spit the whole thing. Its disgusting if you think about it and I fully accept the fact that I have an eating disorder during wrestling season but luckly I like food enough to eat normal in the off season its just that I like winning more than eating!

HOLY SHIT, THIS IS ONE OF THA FUNNIEST FUCKING POSTS I'VE EVER READ!

THIS GUY SAID HE BUYS WHOLE MEALS AT MCDONALDS AND SPITS THEM OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I'M DYING lol.

 

[DanielBishop]

Why not? It satisfies the taste cravings and you don't get the calories. I think it's a good idea.

I suffered from this eating disorder for years. I only overcame it after i realized, that it is not "bad" food, that makes you fat, but too much food. I now eat everything i like (chocolate in various forms, that is), but only quite small amounts. Because i now can enjoy eating and don't restrict myself, any cravings have vanished.

don't laugh. It is a (curable) eating disorder an a pain for many people. It is caused manly through fad diets. Most of the sufferers are women and they usually eat the food and then throw up, and not spit it out right away. They think about eating all day, eat things they don't like but supposedly are "allowed" because of their low calorie content and hate their bodies.
The women's magazines with their headlines like > lose x pounds in y days < aggravate the problem.
Today, males, as they get more sensitive to their looks and try to lose fat fast, are catching up, and competitive bodybuilders are also not immune.

Mentally and spiritually these people are : WEAK.

Their foundation is off.

And when they're foundation is off..how tha fuck do you expect them to build?

Get you're shit straight from tha beginning.


1. Have a solid spiritual foundation
(Read tha Koran,Bible,Torah,read about samuri's in japan, buddism,hinduism,voodooism,ever fucking ism there is)

2. Feed your Mind with various forms of intelligent scripts.
(Read like a motherfucker) Read everything and anything, get all vew points from all aspects and different ways of thinking.

3. Start Mediation and Lift Weights. Follow an strict program. Be disciplined.

4. Proper Diet. High Protein,Very Mod Carb intake,Good amounts of unsaturated Fat intake. Lots of Water.

If people first have a solid foundation in life, They'll have a stronger being in them, thus making all goals attainable.

Fuck any tubbalard out there that comes up with some bullshit reply to this sayin, "..i know plenty of spiritual,smart people who have eating disorders.."...

Fuck That.

Thats bullshit.

Anybody with a solid Foundation will never engage in idiotic activities (eating disorders, drugs, sexual abuse of someone, murder, etc. )

Peace.

I think being a bodybuilder (if I can call myself that) is a Godsend in the fact that I'm so scared of being fat.... that if I wasn't worried about losing muscle or not being able to BUILD muscle then I probably wouldn't eat much at all. Or throw it all up again.

The few times I did make myself throw up, it was during a cutting phase and it was right after I caved in and went on a stupid binge. Like eating massive amounts of carbs and fatty foods. My protein requirements had been fulfilled.... as I don't feel bad when I eat protein foods. So throwing up the bad stuff would've been exactly the same as had I never eaten it.... which is what would've happened if I'd had more willpower.

What I'm trying to say is, being worried about losing muscle is a good thing.... because it means I would never starve myself of the ESSENTIAL calories that I need. In fact, on a cutting diet I'm still eating more food each day than the average person.

But please don't make yourself throw up. It's a really bad habit to get into, and when you do it once or twice.... you feel the compulsion to do it again comes more often. It's a trap.
