An example of binge eating would be having a long day- getting up early, getting the kids ready for school, going to work, taking a night class, coming home and doing a load of laundry, and then sitting down to a binge.

Or it could be getting out of bed and eating one too many bowls of cereal, and then just not bothering to try and control eating for the rest of the day.

Binging is a way to deal with everything that is going on around you, and it's a release from the world. It's very similar to a high you would receive from a drug, and it's also quite addicting. Binging is a way to deal with emotions. It's a way to deal with boredom or a breakup. If you are watching TV, some people need to eat something- some people need to constantly eat and graze, causing them to eat massive amounts of food.

Bingers know they are eating too much- they just don't care. At least not at the time when they're binging, only because it feels too good. Afterwards, feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, and above all, guilt, are common. Let alone awful, awful stomach pains.

So, an example of a binge. For some people a binge is 3 slices of Pizza. For others, it is much more.

An example of one of my binges:

Start: 3:00pm

1 peanut butter sandwich (2 slices whole wheat bread, 2.5 Tbs. PB)- 450 cal.

1 non-fat Greek yogurt (YoCrunch, strawberry)- 180 cal.

1 sweet potato, large- 170 cal.

2 Fiber One bars (peanut butter and oats)- 300 cal.

1 can Valley Fresh white chicken, 4 oz.- 140 cal.

4 slices turkey lunchmeat- 100 cal.

2 tortillas- 340 cal.

2 bottles Muscle Milk light (chocolate)- 200 cal.

3 Clif bars (Chocolate brownie)- 750 cal.

2 bagels (8-grain)- 600 cal.

3 cups 8th Continent light vanilla soy milk- 180 cal.

End: 4:30pm

Total Calories: 3410
