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 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?

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.

Thinking of everyone

@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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

I got rid of my tortilla chips. I ate the rest of the triggering food. I'm simply not going to buy more. I think this is like my internet addiction and I don't think the battle is over yet, but round 1 is done.

My boyfriend offered me some junk food and I ate it yesterday, I felt terrible. I was home today so I ate less. I don't know if that was better. I feel hungry.

I've gotten rid of most triggering foods except one. I feel sweaty and funny when I eat it, like I need something else but it's not food. I've been planning what to eat, since I'm vegan it looks like I can eat Vega one, orgain, Amy's meals, oatmeal without sweetener, toast, cucumbers, oranges, mini tomatoes and some squashes. I still have some leftover food I need to donate to a food bank. I used to just throw it out, but it's not snacks and it's like $100 worth of food that's still good and sealed. I'm self diagnosed through a meeting, so we will see how long this lasts, but my doctor says I'm overweight. I don't look like the typical overeater, but I know better than to buy sweets, chips, or any of those kinds of items, because I will wolf them down. What drives me crazy is family events and parties where people want me to "enjoy" food and don't understand I can't after I've spent years of overindulging. Thank you! I'll wait for others to join me, I feel like I'm talking to an echo chamber here.

@~*glass_owl*~:

Sorry you felt like you were talking to an echo chamber. I'd love to talk to you about dieting! I'm in Day Eleven of a new diet and beginning to feel some faint hope. I'll write more if you answer this post and perhaps we can support each other and it can only get easier!
