Hi all,
I have spent the last year and change dealing with very disordered binge eating. I have been heavy my whole life and have been on every diet in the world, but this last year, I stopped dieting and just focused on rebuilding my mind around food and body image. But now I feel much stronger and ready to start dropping some pounds and exercising regularly.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Feel free to message/friend!
Any tips on preventing the "diet" mentality and binge eating?

Hello! I am in a similar situation! I wouldn't call myself a "former binger" because I still occasionally struggle with it and binge every once in a while. I have just learned to control it mostly. I have also found that over time, my binges have become smaller and healthier. I think that as I have began to eat healthier I no longer have as much of an urge to binge because I find my it isn't worth ruining my progress, but on the rare occasion that I do, I try not to beat myself up over it. Because I am eating less and healthier everyday it is harder for me to binge because I feel truly awful and too full after. Probably the biggest factor in less binging is allowing myself to eat foods that aren't healthy. I generally eat relatively healthy but every day or every few days I will eat the food I am craving in a smaller portion and work it into the amount of calories I have left and I feel a lot better and less of an urge to binge on foods I wouldn't allow myself to eat while "dieting" in the past. I am still new to this though, so it is still something I am learning to overcome. Feel free to add me.1
