Eating disorder

Okay so I'm having trouble getting out of my binging and purging habit. This is the 3rd time I've "relapsed" and gotten back into doing it daily. I also have body isomorphic disorder which really screws with my mind. I've lost over 100# using this app and am down to a size 4/6 and weigh 142lbs. My problem is where I had my c section from my daughter. I simply can't get rid of it. I've been strength training and working on toning for several months with absolutely no improvement to the size of my belly "hangover". Friends and family are getting concerned as losing weight has become literally all I can think or talk about. I will do fine with eating until the evening hours. Then I start eating and it's like I'm so hungry I cannot stop. Them I feel awful and ashamed and feel like I'm going to gain all the weight back which then leads to purging. I have thought about trying to get on phentermine to help my appetite in the evenings but I am not overweight so I doubt I would even qualify. I am at a loss of what to do that will work. I NEED to stop binging and purging. I NEED to stop overeating. But I need to stop hating myself and my body so much as well. If anyone has any tips or encouragement please comment. If you have negativity please take it elsewhere.

    The best thing to do is to contact your old treatment team, or find a new one if you need to

    16 yrs of eating disorder here. I get the up and down cycles. Also have body dysmorhia. It sucks. Welcome to friend me. I found that completely avoiding all trigger foods and eating all my protein and water water water really helps me.
