What makes you binge?

AlwaysUpFromHere March 2nd, 2015

Does anyone else NOT know why they binge. Sometimes it's cause I'm stressed and sometimes because I've been relieved of stress.. but other times I don't even know why I do it, I just can't stop eating.

I understand you. I've been struggling with binge eating for awhile. Stress, boredom, being alone, it being the weekend or any type of vacation are all factors for me. Oh and special occasions to.

I usually binge when I am lonely....which is a lot. I try to keep my hands busy by doing art projects, but it doesn't always work. It also doesn't help that I do a lot of work and homework on the computer, so it's way too easy to eat at that point. I just wish i could find a way to fill the loneliness when I can't go anywhereor really change activities.

I binge for comfort. My mom and grandmother were great ladies, but used food to make me feel better. As an adult, when I'm upset, I reach for comfort foods to ease the pain.

I usually binge whenever I have a lot of emotions, or just when I get bored! It doesn't help that I've always loved food :)

Being bored or tired. I mean, I have to do something either way so for some reason binging just happens.

I thought it was just me that didn't have any solid idea of why I binge. Sometimes I think it's just because I like the way food feels in my mouth. Sometimes I find myself in a cycle where I need to get "sweet" tastes out of my mouth with a "savory" taste and then another "sweet" and on and on and on. It doesn't matter if eating has reached the point of painful that time. I can always seem to force it down.

I binge when I havesomething in the cabinet or fridge I'm excited about.

Mostly I like to taste and eat so I order more food than j should when I go out or order delivery. Instead of just an entree, I get an appetizer because it sounds delicious! Instead of a medium pizza, I get a large. And breadsticks because they both sound yummy

Basically, I need someone to control my portions the way I control my dog's portions.

Guilt, usually. A need to punish myself
