I’ve gone on food binges since I was a younger teen buying and eating until I couldn’t anymore and this led to a bit of weight gain but earlier this year I decided was gonna try and loose weight for real this time.

And through calorie counting over about 6 months I lost around 25 pounds and I didn’t binge, I didn’t cut anything out of my diet and there was times I didn’t count but I didn’t go overboard I just started counting again when I could. It was going v well.

But I went on Holiday in August and since coming back to Uni I’ve gone back to binging pretty regularly. I’ve upped my calories, tried eating intuitively or not counting at all and I keep binging. Aside from food being delicious I know a lot of why I do it is to loose control.

So does anyone know any others ways to loose control that doesn’t involve food? And how have people got back on the weight loss wagon?

Thank you for reading!

    Skydiving?

    I'm not sure I understand your premise...but usually "losing control" is not a good thing. Do you like to do dangerous behaviors in general? Over-spend? Gamble? Drink too much, etc.? Risky sexual behavior? If so, maybe therapy or psyche meds can help with the impulse control.

    If it's just food you have a problem with, then maybe you aren't giving yourself enough calories in general or you are eating too much of one thing and not enough of something else. Are you getting enough protein? Are you eating a lot of carbs? Too many carbs makes me want to eat and eat. How about vegetables? Are you getting a well-balanced nutrition split? Try that.

    I hope you don't find this too unpleasant / creepy but a lot of people get into healthy D/s sexual relationships based on their desire to temporarily relinquish control over themselves.

    But I don't want to encourage what could possibly be problematic behaviour; if you think you have a problem I'd definitely suggest speaking to a qualified professional.
