Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who when they binge they take in like 3-4,000 calories. When some people say they binge, they don't eat nearly as much as I do. Is anyone else out there who binges like I do? I just feel very alone.

Definitely, definitely not alone.

The gallon of ice cream, the loaf of bread, the rest of the 5lb meatloaf.

Yeah, not alone. ::hugs::

Oh no you are not alone. 5 PB and fluff on white bread, mashed potatoes with gravy (enough to feed my whole family). Once I ate the whole jar of PB
And cheese... 3 pounds of cheddar....

I can promise you that you are not alone, I do not even want to think about how many calories I eat in a bingeing session, I have Nutella straight from the jar, family sized bags of crisps, boxes of cakes.

you are definitely not alone although i would encourage everyone here to not get into a competition with each other to see who has it the worst - it's a trap. Just focus on small goals and associate so much disgust and pain to what you do and reasons why you have to stop instead of focusing on "why does this always happen to me" I promise you when you get enough drive to not want to do it - you won't - but it has to be 100% commitment

You aren't alone. When I binge I eat probably around 4,000-6,000 calories at a time. Eating till I am so physically stuffed I can't move.

Binges are different for everyone. 4,000 cals for me is a "light snack," while actual binges can top the 15-20,000 calorie range. (But that'll be over 5 or 6 hrs. Even though I'm bulimic, sometimes I keep it ALL in me as punishment.)

Yes I too have well exceeded the 5k range. And I know we're not competing but it is nice to know there are others struggling as bad. I have a fear of throwing up or believe me I would've tried that. Now in the last couple months my binges arent that bad..but the guilt is still there..its more about knowing your eating for comfort than for hunger that makes me miserable.

Agreed Billy. i think we can all go on and on about #of calories or types of foods we binge on. but the point is we are binging. doesnt matter what or how much. we are binging. we need to focus on stopping and getting healthy and doing it in whatever way works for us. there are lots of us on this site who are fighting the binge and in different ways. so many wonderful people and wonderful stories. hope you start to become one of those..

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
