Binging minus the purge
Basically binging is the story of my weight gain. I have never dabbled in anorexia/bulimia. I’ve tried diet pills in the past, basically an easy out that didn’t work and made me feel horrible in the process. Instead, I binge eat and then feel enormous guilt and self-loathing afterwords. My binges are based of my emotions, usually sadness and at times they can be dangerous. In the past, I’ve binged on alcohol. Not the smartest thing in the world I know. I’d be upset and resort to anything to make the pain go away.
It was controlable in high school (2005). I had sports like volleyball and basketball to keep me fit and in line. I never did anything too durastic that might jeopardize playing. back then i was between 130-145. Towards the end of high school my weight began to rise to 150-165 and a size 16. Then I joined the military (the National Guard to be exact). In basic I maintained at 165 but went down 3 sizes. I’ve never been as fit and good looking as I did then. That was the first and only time I loved my body. After Basic I let myself go and gained another 15lbs. Then freshman year of college (2006) added another 20lbs (195lbs). My sophomore year brought more weight gain, and more alcohol binging until I hit 225lbs and a size 16. I was deployed to Iraq at the beginning of my junior year. Instead of making the most of my time overseas, (IE going to the gym, because that’s all there is to do there besides your actual job) I half assed my way through everything. I worked out somewhat, and ate kinda healthy. I went down to 200lbs and size 14. After Iraq I got an active duty job for the guard and gained all the weight back plus some.
Now I’m out of the Army and back in school. My professional life is right on target but not my health. I’m currently 230lbs. I’m officially a hundred pounds heavier than I was in high school. I know everyone says that you’ll never be your high school weight, and I look at pictures of me and high school and think, “damn I looked sick (anorexic).” I just want to be healthy. I have a BMI of 35. I’m considered obese. What the hell did I do to myself?
I’ve tried weight loss in the past. I start eating well, exersizing and generally feeling good. But it never fails, a week later I binge. Last night I had a breakthrough, a small one, but one I’m proud of it. I recognized that I was going to binge. I said no to alcohol! I said no to cookies and icecream! I did eat fruit and cheese, a lot of it. But the point is, I recognized it coming and I fought it. I fought it for the first time in my life. And I fought it by myself. My friends didn’t tell me no, my bf wasn’t there to tell me no. I did it on my own. I know I’ll do better next time and that in the near future, binging will not have power over me.
