Binge Eating , Please Help Me

Wow, looking at your diary, you really do need to eat more, especially since you're just maintaining. You're probably balancing out from all of the extra calories you eat on weekends, but starving yourself during the week will just trigger more binges. Or, you'll become even more controlling of your diet and it will turn into a serious eating disorder, if it isn't already. The bingeing could be emotional, or it could be your body telling you to feed it.

I saw that you're going to see a counselor now. That's a great idea.

And coming from someone who just likes to binge eat for fun: Why not make your goals a little different? Try averaging however many calories a day you need. Say you need about 2300 a day... Eat 2000 on weekdays and 2800 on weekend days. It will give you a little leeway.

I'd encourage you to see the counselor at school particularly since you can go for free ... make sure of course you get someone who is knowledgeable about eating disorders ... you might also want to read "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch ... it's not a diet book, it's a book about changing our relationship with food. They've done a lot of work with people with eating disorders.
