Binge eating again and again

From the very start, I have been extremely determined with my diet. I ate sufficient calories and went from 147 pounds to 123 pounds in 5 months. But suddenly, this week, I just can't stop binging. I binge, then eat normal the next day, but after a day or two, I binge again. I feel very disappointed in myself, what do I do? (10 pounds left to lose)

    I would agree with everything said above, and add this. Put weight loss on hold. Try to actively maintain 123-130’ pounds by bumping your calories-in up slightly to balance your calories-out.

    Eating at a deficit is a stress on your body and mind, and will make dealing with a binge-eating habit much much harder.

    Then yes, try to find a therapist or counselor or doctor you trust to help you reduce the binging habit. I recommend cognitive behavioral therapy, which worked amazingly for me.
