Binging too often

Well yes, I have thoughts. Overrestricting leads to disinhibition. If you want this to work, you have to focus. Don't eat according to mood, don't track intake on and off. Commit to consistency instead of trying to eat as little as possible, and then give up. If you fill up on low calorie filler foods, it's no surprise if you feel to full even though you haven't eaten enough, and get hungry later, so you feel an urge to overeat whenever exposed to temptation. Temptation is everywhere, so unless you have a good plan, temptation wins; you lose.

To break this pattern, you have to want to break it. You have to be so tired of it that you're willing to anything it takes. If you just find it slightly annoying, or as an interesting subject of conversation, you're not ready to change. You are the only one who knows which one it is.

You're not in a hurry to lose weight, but are you in a hurry to break your destructive pattern? If so: Get the damn scale. Now. Set MFP to lose 0.5 pounds per week. This will give you more than 1200 calories. Use the damn scale for everything, and log everything. That will be accurate enough for your purpose, weight loss and better nutrition. DON'T worry about how many calories you burn. That is not important at all. Be accurate about your intake and weigh yourself regularly, and you can calculate how much you burn, if you want to know.

Now plan to nourish yourself properly. A good diet and staying active will help improve and maintain good health. Use your food diary, your food scale, and I recommend, as a start, combining it with the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate. Plan and schedule proper meals at regular intervals. Don't get hung up in details, just decide to eat a number of meals at certain times. Make sure you get some exercise, and enough sleep and rest. Do this every day, while you pay attention to how you feel. Energetic, strong, focused, relaxed, happy? This is how healthy feels.
