I binge too. It’s so hard to break that habit. I’m an emotional eater and deal with severe depression which led to all my weight gain. Don’t focus on one bad day. Be proud of the progress you made!3

OP, have you considered talking to a professional? This post, combined with your others about severely restricting calorie intake, set off alarm bells. Binging is a not at all uncommon end result of over-restricting, so the first thing you need to do is stop over-restricting.7

I mean this in the kindest way possible. Please reach out to some adults around you, perhaps one of your school counsellors and get some real professional help with this before it become a serious problem (assuming it hasn't already, and I suspect it has).4

In a previous post you discuss how you're eating 900-1000 calories per day.
Given that information bingeing is inevitable. You can't starve yourself and severely under eat and not expect it to happen. You didn't binge because you're weak or because you're a bad person or because there's something wrong with you. You binged because you starved yourself and your body eventually took over to get the calories it needed to survive.
This is true for everyone on the planet. Under eating will lead to one of two outcomes. Either you'll end up very sick, damage your health and end up in hospital (or worse), or, as has happened to you, your basal ganglia, that primitive, instinctual part of your brain will kick in as a survival instinct to override your modern thinking brain and do what it needs to keep you alive. In this case eat calories... A LOT of them.
So you can continue to starve yourself, continue to lose control and go round and round or you can employ a sustainable, sensible and appropriate calorie deficit and break out of the cycle. If you're having trouble doing that then by all means seek out the help you need. There's no shame in it.

No, you haven't been doing so well.
Previous threads of yours have you eating @900 calories a day. Bare minimum for a male is 1500. You've been literally starving yourself.
Please get help to stop this vicious cycle that you're in. It won't end anywhere good as is.

From your other posts, your binge eating problem is not in the past, it's still quite current.
Stop trying to limit yourself to unhealthily low calories. Seek professional help with binge eating first, then worry about weight loss later down the line. You won't be able to tackle weight loss healthily whilst ignoring the binge-eating.0 -

That required a lot more effort than I am used to
I am from the UK, no idea what US grades are, so required even more googling.
Fair enough, just though I might have missed some nuked threads or something.2 -

Those, too.
To the OP: Adolescents need to fuel their bodies properly. Yours is still growing and changing, including your brain. Please get some help before you do permanent damage to yourself.1 -
It's ok. I still do too, sometimes. Just not every day. Every one has flaws and breaks down once in a while. We're human. Get up, dust off, and try again.0

I see in your other thread that you are severely undereating - no wonder you binged.
Please read this, and substitute "woman" with "man" and "1200" with "1500" as you are male and shouldn't be eating less than 1500 calories per day.
Your periods of undereating may go for longer than in the picture, but the result is the same - undereating leads to binging.
