Next Time You Binge...read this!

[JohnDizzle888]

Here's a little philosophy to help you stop binging.

September 16, 2003: what did you eat on that day? Odds are you don't remember and it was probably junk food.
So what was the point in eating all that stuff in the past? I mean it's not like you're tasting that food now.
It didn't benefit you in any way at all. All it did was make you feel good and temporarily satisfy a much larger problem.
All those times you binged you were pointless.

The moment you finish your junk food snack, it is almost as if you didn't eat it at all and that is what upset me. Think about it!
you just finished your last fry, and now you take a gulp of your soda. The taste of the fries in your mouth is gone! You just payed good money for 3 - 7 minutes of nothingness and tomorrow you won't even contemplate the fries you ate yesterday.

One thing you have to realize is that YOU DON'T BINGE TO SATISFY HUNGER. YOU BINGE TO SATISFY CRAVINGS. How do i know this? because there have been many times where i would binge to the point where I would vomit if i ate any more. The surprising thing was that I wanted to eat more but I just couldn't. We don't binge or eat junk food to achieve that "full stomach" feeling because if that were the case--if all we wanted to do was have that feeling of being full--then it would be as simple as drinking lots of water or filling your stomach with nothing but spinach for example.

NOW HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TECHNIQUE that I use when I know that I am going to reach for some chips.
Imagine yourself eating some chips and then shortly after drinking water. The taste of the chips in your mouth will be gone
due to the water right? And you will relatively feel EXACTLY the same whether you eat the chips or not right?
So then before I reach for the chips I just tell myself "I already ate the chips," and in a way that is totally true. I really have.
I know this sounds crazy but the only difference between eating the chips and not eating the chips IS THE MEMORY OF EATING THE CHIPS
A MINUTE AGO! MIND BLOWN....

Sorry if this was confusing but I've had these ideas running through my head and i had to get them out. thanks if you took the time to read this.

I'm confused....

What's wrong with some carbohydrates in the form of chips?

The chips thing was just the first thing that popped into my head. Did you read the whole thing?
because chips was not the main focus at all.

[bobdole12]

I did, I comprehend the urge to eat food, and that flavour only lasts a few moments, but chips do taste damn fine when you're eating them....

Or you could eat the chips you are craving, work them into your overall macros and calories for the day and eat foods you enjoy every single day without negatively impacting your physique or training goals.

I see what the OP is saying, but he forgot that junk food tastes and feels SOOOOOO good going down! Yes, it's a temporary gratification, but then again so are many other things we do in life

The OP clearly has an eating disorder to the point where he needs to have fantasies about consuming normal foods because he deems them "bad", instead of simply being able to work them into a healthy and balanced diet.

Yes, binge eating is an eating disorder. I don't think anyone stated otherwise

I know people who count macros and still occasionally lose control and binge. It's a psychological disorder, I've been there and done that, and it's very nearly impossible to relate to unless you've experienced it.

Indeed it is. Found myself multiple times eating large amounts of ice cream, cookies and stuff. Even though I knew I would feel real bad after it, I just keep eating until I had to puke.
Thanks OP, I knew I'm not alone. Just had a craving for Ben & Jerry's, but now I'm just drinking my water.

woah chill out brah. just wanted to post my amazing technique on how to get over binging.
basically, right before you know you're gonna binge, just tell yourself that you already ate that stuff.
IIFYM, then yea it's fine to eat things out of your diet, but this isn't about how to incorporate junk food into your diet.

Again the fact that you have foods "out of your diet" and are worried about "incorporating junk food" when it can easily be done without any negative effects on health, body composition or athletic performance even consumed daily in moderation... shows that you have an unhealthy relationship with food and should seek psychiatric help. Look up orthorexia nervosa.

Having a mental fantasy about eating foods you love so that you can try to avoid eating them, when eating them has no negatives to your health or goals is emotionally and mentally unhealthy.

ITT: OP thinks binging is due to being unable to resist the taste of good food.
















full retard

[Greg31]

good idea if people have extremely hard time with binging. Way to technical though haha. If someone is willing to binge they usually wont have the time to think this process out IMO.

[JasonDB]

Mostly chicken, steak, gy, other low fat dairy, pizza, ice cream, curry, white rice, pudding, cherry pie, broccoli, carrots, fruit, sammiches and chocolate. I'm cutting btw. I don't eat any low gi carbs other than fruit, mostly processed stuff... mmmm. I probably eat 2,000-2,500 calories a week from low fat ice cream even cutting.

Tuna is bad for you... why would you eat that? (100% srs)

Sounds like what I eat except I'm bulking, maybe a little too much on the ice cream on occasion since its summer ya know lol I make it all workout though.

Tunas bad for you though??? O_o Is it just cause of the mercury or whatever? Cause I usually have it.

Yeah the mercury. The FDA has guidelines and there are calculators for it but the safe limit is something like 6oz per week for most people.

[elias1877]

next time im going to binge ill probably just binge and not give a ****.

[afrosamurai04]

Oh okay, I'll be fine then lol. I usually have tuna like once or twice a MONTH anyway I usually go for salmon though when it comes to fish. There isn't much of a "health risk" with salmon right?
