I started a weight loss and behavioral change program this week called Noom. It's very interesting. The same old stuff is there like food tracking and exercise tracking, but each day you check in with a coach and each day there are 2 to 3 short articles to read about the psychology of eating and triggers. I've been doing it for about a week and I do feel things shifting a bit.

Was a little michie at the end of the day today but at least stayed within my calorie budget, even with a minor episode of overeating. At least I was in control enough to make healthy binge choice and snack on fruit and rice crackers, lol.

Starting to get depressed with the voices now

Can’t stand

I overate today but not as much as usual.

My 1 yr anniversary of keeping a purge log is the end of this month. I want to stop the cycle. First I am going to stop purging. Then hopefully my binge eating will taper off. I really don't know what to do. Adding fasting to my cycle has made things worse I think.

[Fighter4ever]

Today I ate well. Haven't snacked much.

Getting out of hospital soon so hopefully can keep going.

can't wait to get back to my OA group

[88Butterfly88]

I've been eating a bit too much junk food. I have kept my meals healthy though.

reviving this thread.

how is everyone doing

I've tried not to overeat as much this week.

however: my problem's been that my main meals not filling enough so when I go back after dinner I have to.

but it's no where near as bad as it sometimes is.

just wondering how I'm going to do over christmas

I am one of those people who will eat anything at christmas time. probably the worst time for my overeating since their is so much on offer.

I wish I knew the reason why I feel it necessary to spoil my main meals

I have had an okay day today- my advent calendar chocolate, fruit for breakfast and a few snacks, (maybe 2 bags of chips), but now I know I have a proper meal coming up- I want to eat more snack food

like I'm trying to stop myself from eating it and enjoying it- the actual meal I mean.

weird...

Thanks for reviving this thread. I've been doing so-so. I've been eating a lot and gained some weight but have been trying to go for popcorn and healthier things so that's a plus.

I have still not calmed my eating down from christmas

I am eating lots

[88Butterfly88]

I think I'll attempt to revive this thread. My over-eating has been so-so, some days worse than others. How is it going for everyone else?

[love2run4ever]

Thanks for trying to revive the thread! I'll share- so, I have a bingeing issue and in the last 8 weeks, I've binged 9 times. Not so good. It's my goal to gradually decrease the occurance of bingeing to make the average less than once per week. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to completely stop.

I have one of my stomach aches today.

last 2 days I have been severely overeating (gotta suck when it happens)

also feeling suicidal (standard), and annoyed because I don't have disney plus (can't aford it)

@raging vortex You should be able to watch some free Disney content on Youtube. It's not the same as Disney Plus but it may be enough to put a smile on your face.

I have been eating too much. Coronavirus has me panicking so I'm eating more.

thanks for the disney tip.

anything disney (even if it's just a 5 minit cartoon) is worth while.

I love disney

I have also noticed I've been eating more since the coronavirus.

and it's harder to get food too, so not the best aproach

Not even realizing that you're binging 3000 calories is the worst. It's like my stomach becomes freakin' Jabba the Hutt and starts growling for food and then I lose it.

[88Butterfly88]

I have been eating more candy recently. Not so sure why but I need to cut back.

[Anrea]

I only ate 1200 calories today and I didn't purge. I still feel sad. I am 30 lbs overweight, and yesterday I only ate 500 calories. So today I failed, am depressed, and my response to that is I want to eat.

[88Butterfly88]

I ate a bunch of junk food today. I think quarantine is making me more anxious, lonely and stressed.

[cygne]

The cravings are so strong. The urge to binge is so compelling.

I've had two espresso shots and a huge teapot of tisane just to fill my tummy and get my mind off the food. This always happens at night. Or late evening. It's awful. Going to sleep early doesn't change matters but it does make the symptoms more bearable (I guess?!).

Does anyone ever just get the urge to binge, runs to the corner store to browse the junk food aisle, reads the labels, realizes the ingredients are awful, convinces themselves baking something healthy would be a better choice, and then leaves the store without buying anything? Lmao. Every. Single. Time.

I was losing weight when I was watching what I ate but now I quit. There's no reason I couldn't start again. For example, I had Tim Hortons for lunch - a chicken wrap with a donut and a couple chips and a coffee. Not good. That went over my calories for the day, I'm sure. But I'm feeling too lazy about going to the grocery store. At least, I'm not making a habit of eating out. I hope, anyway. I guess part of it is that I don't do much so some days I sit home all day, doing laundry, cleaning the apartment, paying bills and watching Amazon Prime. Maybe if I had something more constructive to do, I'd feel less like mindlessly eating. Physically, I don't feel right, being overweight. Thing is, I lost 40 pounds over the last couple years and I don't want to go backward! I should start counting calories again. That will help, I think.

I don't know how to speak in this forum, so I'm going to tread lightly. I'm new to all this, but I think I have a problem. I think I found some problem foods and I talked to another person who gave me some clarity about all this. He wants me to switch from being vegan, but I'm going to try staying vegan. I have Gerd and I overeat. My food plan is to drink Vega plant based protein drinks (I have a brand I like the taste of well enough, but not too well), eat Amy's meals, oatmeal (plain with dehydrated soy milk), oranges, and vegan yogurt. All food groups are represented and there is plenty of protein. Does this sound sane?
