I have been doing very well losing all this weight but lately I have been having binge days.

like today 8000 calories ...... but then have like two weeks of good days so it balances out.

What causes this? I feel sick and then keep eating, it's very bad.

I would love if anyone could give me tips if you used to do this

I used to do this everyday when I was at my high weight.

    I'm still a newbie here- but it sounds to me like it's emotional eating. Are you drinking enough liquids? I know when I first started my journey I was confusing thirst with hunger.

    Are you eating because you are bored, sad? perhaps look into new hobbies or other things you can do instead of eating.

    I drink lots of water, It's not because I am thirsty. I can be completely full and then want to keep eating, It makes me feel good at the time. Usually bad foods like pastries, and fried foods....

    It's a very common problem. There is a binge eating suport that has links to lots of useful information

    Yes, that's why I'm here, I binge too and looking at the above comments, we're not alone. I know that sugar and stress are my main triggers, so most of the time I am able to control it. I think that finding your 'binge triggers' will help you deal with the issue. Good luck!
