    you're binging because you starved yourself. it's a normal bodily response to starvation. You will likely gain some weight back but being consistent with your calorie intake is the best thing you can do. You should try eating 1800-2000 (depending on your height/weight) and just wait it out. it will be hard but this is the kind of thing that requires some people to experience before they understand just how bad restricting their calories so drastically is. don't give up and don't stand on a scale anytime soon...your health should be your number 1 priority right now.

    ^^ This.

    Plus, don't cut out chocolates/sweets completely. This will make you binge. Just work them into your macros every few days so you don't have that urge.
