Hi,

i'm not sure if it is regarded as binging but i'd like to hear some comments...

I started by eating three large double chocolate chip cookies, then moved onto a 300g bag of salted doritos, then a lots of nachos, with loads of cheese inculuding full fat mozzerela, then had 3 cans of coke, moved onto a large bowl of cereal, strips of chiken tikka things and creme eggs.

And well, i'm writing this known i'm gunna throw up soon enuff, I don't do this very often maybe once or twice a month, I used to do this and eat more than thise maybe 2-3 times a week.

Is this binge eating?

Yes, that would be binge eating and it sounds as though you are purging as well.

You need to seek medical help a.S.A.P.

If you know what you are doing in the early stages, then maybe you can cure this problem.

You cannot do it on your own, you need to get help!

Yes, this is a light bulemia and if you realize this and handle this seriously you wont suffer in future.

I had a similar story. after anorexia, which I called a strict diet, i started binging and not willing to gain, i started purging and laxatives. and i called it a lack of discipline.

get a hold of it my dear and get rid of it.
i started my recovery with saying no to purging and laxatives. i just realized i can die with a heart attack or get digestion problems if i continue with binging compensation

quit purging. an idea that you shall not purge even if you eat a lot, makes you eat less.

best
