Bloat after a Binge...

SearchingforFitness

What is the best way to recover after a binge?

There's nothing to 'recover' from. You haven't suffered a life changing incident.

Carry on as normal, and take it on the chin that you have consumed too many calories.

When I have the binge bloat I wear a chunky sweater and get on with my day. I try to have a good workout and use the fuel I have and if I have time, I might step in the sauna which temporarily helps with the water weight and feels nice. I also drink a lot of water/tea.

Thank you! Those are good tips, especially the sweater one It'll definitely help me feel less self conscious about my puffy belly

I'm currently gaining weight as I'm trying to gain muscle, but there's a certain amount of fat that goes with it. If I have a really high calorie day or I'm bloating on TOP of what I've already gained...it can be hard. I have a few outfits for reserve on those days. They are still stylish but I'm not gonna rock a mini skirt and a crop top when I feel like that lol.

haha, I totally get it! Most of my clothes are from when I was 118-125 pounds, and now I'm 155. Gosh, low thyroid sucksssss. I just went out and bought new clothes, but I'm really struggling to lose the weight

Are you struggling because you're bingeing often?

No, my thyroid levels are three times too low at the moment so it's basically impossible for me to lose weight. I was sooo happy with my body before I got sick, and now that I'm 40 pounds heavier and not able to get any of it off, I'm really unhappy about it

I'm sorry. I don't know too much about thyroid levels and weight loss. I have seen some posters with similar problems who struggle, but are still able to lose. Do a search for some of the threads. It might make you feel better to see/hear from others who are in the same boat and read what they have done.
