does anyone else go into some sort of trance while they're binging? for me, it's like all I care about is the food or the taste and I tell myself the calories don't matter, but when I eventually come to a stop, which usually takes a while, I feel awful about it. It's like once I get started I keep going and block everything else out and then hate myself for doing it, then do it again. any words of support would be helpful :/

I do this too! It is part of why i binge, the mental silence, the break from reality, the stress relief, the joy of feeling full. That is what you get from the binge. Probably what you seek out when you start a binge cycle. Do you ussually binge when stressed? sad? lonely? feeling bad? It is a kind of escape from reality.

Absolutely! Similar to eekrss, I seek out the time frame when I know I'll be able to binge and can enjoy that trance like mental silence and joy of feeling stuffed to the gills. Of course, shortly after, I'm bamboozled with guilt and regret. But in the midst of a binge, I feel euphoric.

I honestly have no idea how to control this. I know what I'm doing is wrong and can sometimes hear the "good" me warning against the binge...but giving in feels liberating in the midst of moment. I'm a perfectionist, so wonder if the binge has to do with me not wanting to put so much pressure on myself to be my best.

What sort of triggers do you have mhillgoth? What leads you to seek out the escape? That is usually pretty key in fighting the binges.
