So hi. I guess I don't really need to explain why I'm here, but I've struggled with overeating since I was a child.
I used to always finish my brother's meals when I was younger, and I would pride myself on how much I could eat. It was a way my parents would reward/treat me, and I was always encouraged to clear my plate and eat all the food given to me - even if I didn't like it. As a result, I have grown to be extremely tolerant of food, and use it as a way to self-soothe, which is super frustrating. I struggle to leave food on my plate, and have fallen into this habit of massively overeating/binging in the evenings after dinner.
Basically, I've been overweight since I was a child, and have always wanted to lose weight. At the start of the year I moved into a flat and gained a lot of control over the food I ate. And because I was so disciplined and motivatrd, I managed to lose around 8-10kg over a few months. I was ecstatic!
But then I came back from the holidays and fell into a habit of overeating and overindulging in food. And I gained. Ugh I basically gained back all the weight (+ some probably), and still can't shake the urges to keep eating. But I will keep trying.
Hopefully together we can all help each other and overcome our challenges! x

Hello!
I've been in maintenance for a year, and the binge eating REALLY makes it a struggle; it seems I'm either bingeing or having to work to lose the binge weight. But even though I regularly lose individual battles, at least I haven't lost the war...1
