I think I have a problem

hi there.

So I have developed a serious problem with binge eating after I reached my goal weight. Whenever I have days where I feel like it's impossible to stay under 1200 calories, I just stop caring and eat everything in sight until I am 2,000-3,000 calories over my limit. It's like I'm either all or nothing. It's very upsetting because I have gained 20 pounds doing this in the past year and I'm having so much trouble stopping.

I would love input from anybody. What has helped you? Have you had a similar problem? Please add me.

Looking for any support in this struggle...

Cheers

    If you are maintaining you definitely need to eat more than you are. You are undereating and under 1200cals per day is not meeting your body's nutrition requirements, and particularly more so if you are exercising.

    Set your profile to maintaining, be honest with the incidental activity field...you will definitely be allocated more than 1200cals per day.
