Yes I did, a few times. I haven't binged now in about 2.5 years, though I have had times when I've overeaten, but that's normal (okay...possibly a bit more than a 'normal' person might eat when they overdo it
)
I guess the difference with the binge eating after I got to goal, was my mental approach to both the binge and after the binge.
Where before I would just do it, after the diet it became a more conscious awareness of what I was doing. I could recognise it better. I could eat and think at the same time which never happened before. And though I felt I couldn't stop it, I was more aware of how I was feeling about it...and what I should be doing to stop it, even though I felt powerless to actually put that bit into practice at the time.
I had read everything I could get my hands on with the eating disorder...I knew the score. I had the intellectual understanding, but couldn't work it into real life IYKWIM.
Then I got to a stage where I could stop it a bit earlier. I could consciously stop it by choice rather than just running out of food.
Then I could stop it just after it started.
It took time.
After the binge, pre the last diet, I would look on it as a failure; that I'd blown the diet and so I would start again the following week and make the most of any food that would come in the house. I would be angry at myself. Really annoyed that I was sabotaging everything I wanted and frustrated that it was all so illogical.
After I learnt more about binge eating, I became much more positive. "Wow...I haven't done this for a while....way to go meeeeee"
And though it was still distressing at the time, I knew I hadn't blown anything. It was a moment of pause in a way, yet also a chance to learn. Once it was over I could get straight back to 'normal' eating with hope.
Not only that, I realised that for me, I had to change my expectations. It was no good promising myself that I would never do it again, because I knew that it was likely. My first step was to learn how to stop one mid flow, and having the binges meant I had a chance to put that into practice. Something I couldn't do if I never let myself go through one again (which just wouldn't happen anyway).
It was the same with my heads idea of trigger foods. When I refused to have them I couldn't learn how to untrigger them. So I practised having them in the house, learning to stop after one etc. That way, if they enter my life, I know exactly how to eat them in moderation.
But, there was no magical overnight cure. It takes time.
Oh, and BTW, though each binge gave me an impressive weight gain, there really is not a lot of fat gain in such a short time. It's easily rectifiable. Just had to work on not doing it too often with a ton of overeating between the sessions.
