He said it all right here. As former binge eater, I certainly agree with these comments. I will also offer myself to answer and questions that you may have along the journey or simple support!

Sup Claire, So first welcome back:) Second, because I do not know too much detail as to what causes you to binge, I am just going to drop a bunch of tips and hope it helps. However, if you have questions just ask:) 1. First, I needed to admit there was a problem. For three going on four years, I blamed my drive and my…

Many people have offered excellent advice, so I don't need to beat that drum. However as someone who walked through a very similar situation to the one you described, there is hope. Trust me, I was a broken as a dropped mirror. It was a mess suicidal, self-focused, self centered, no friends, etc.... but I made a recovery…

I think it depends on your goal. First, I logged for almost 2 years so my "eye-balling" of weights is fairly accurate imho. However, if my goal is to make weight for a powerlifting meet I am certainly more tight on my macros, but I learned the hard way that being rigorous for so long has terrible side-effects. So in the…

Hi Rachel! I can totally be your friend, although my personal eating disorder was not as bad as the one you have described I certainly understand the mentality the occurs inside. If I can help you in any fashion please let me know!

Can I help you with the binge eating in any fashion? Answer questions or offer support?

I never read the book, but getting help in whatever fashion that maybe is certainly a step in the right direction. I really wish I took action sooner. Stuffing my problem...no pun intended greatly made my situation much worse. Good for you:)

It is your lucky day! I said six, but here is a seventh tip. 7. Learn to enjoy social eating. What about eating at restaurants and parties? Parties were my kryptonite. The amount of food that I saw while feeling I needed to eat enough to feed three people – it was as stressful as it gets. What helped me to win at parties…

Well, I am sure why you binge, but I will dumb some tips here... 1. First, I needed to admit there was a problem. For three going on four years, I blamed my drive and my dreams for my actions. Ignoring people in my life hinting at me that I may have a problem, including family, close friends, and my girlfriend. I lied to…

Well I have certainly been in your shoes myself. What or why did you binge? Perhaps from there I will be able to help you. Something I did was sorting food as good and bad... Placing labels on food, leads us to ban them from our intake. We say, “No, No, No, No, No…” We push for the perfect diet and once we eat this food…

What does your current eating habits look like? I went through a very similar process, in my life too. In short, the more rigid and strict my meal plans were, the more likely I binged on foods I restricted. I often called these binges "cheat meals".

I am not vegan, but your body doesn't like something. Because you changed two things at once 1.) The amount of kcals you eat 2.) What you eat It is a 50/50 chance to predict which one is related to the sick feeling. I suggest making smaller changes over time. Your body takes times to adapt to new things. For example, you…

I agree with some of the prior comments, if I am understanding your post correctly. Going from 1800 right to 1200 is a large drop and a shock to your body. It is extremely challenging to calculate macros for someone without a really indepth look at many topics, like how you workout, your past eating habits, etc. As far as…

I also yo, yo'd for many many years, had about (3) distinct round with it over 3 years. What I found worked was following IIFYM honestly and seeking help from a coach. All diets work, but most people lack the education about the after part. To be fair, very little information is published about what to do after. You bust…

The following are the exact steps I used to end the cycle. I still use these to this day if I feel the urge to binge. 1. First, I needed to admit there was a problem. For three going on four years, I blamed my drive and my dreams for my actions. Ignoring people in my life hinting at me that I may have a problem, including…

Some binge eating tips from my experience:)) First, admit there was a problem. For three going on four years, I blamed externals, my drive, and my dreams for my actions. Ignoring people in my life hinting at me that I may have a problem, including family, close friends, and girlfriend. I lied to myself, rationalizing it…

I highly suggest that you look into moderation. In my personal experience the habits of restricting what you eat or what you allow yourself to eat for what ever reason you validate in your head often leads to unhealthy eating habits and the high potential to develop an eating disorder her. Some anecdotal evidence is that…

This truly is a question of personal preference. From a scientific standpoint in a data collection standpoint the more data points the more accurate and precise the data will be obviously this would mean when yourself every day at the same time. Typically for most people that means first thing in the morning after using…

Yes my friends are pretty similar in that sense too. I live in one of those small towns were nobody ever leaves so the group I run around with we have gone to school together since kindergarten if not known each other before then. So getting crap from them is something that I sort of have just develop a thick skin towards.…

I would try changing your psychology from Weight loss to fat loss. Weight-loss can easily be obtained through unhealthy measures of starving yourself and not drinking any water. Becoming so fix on the number you see is a rather unhealthy lifestyle and makes the one life we get to live a rather miserable experience. Instead…

As far as reframing binge eating goes it depends why you are binge eating to begin with. I understand that you made the remark that you binge because you do not think you will lose the weight. However you have plenty of time to lose 10 pounds in two months. As far as binging goes there are several possibilities for why you…

Agreeing with this thinking myself.

Feel free to add me to:)) We got this all day!

First, admit there was a problem. For three going on four years, I blamed externals, my drive, and my dreams for my actions. Ignoring people in my life hinting at me that I may have a problem, including family, close friends, and girlfriend. I lied to myself, rationalizing it with the mask of a cheat meal. As the…

So I can do two things for you one I will provide some tips to stop at the binge eating and I can also address why the scale may not reflect the results that you have stop binging. The reason the scale may not have caught up to you stop binging is because your metabolism could be messed up. The body is designed to survive…

I used to take the same approach. However taking this approach overtime usually leads to an on healthy eating habits. Instead I highly suggest looking into something along the lines of moderation. Chances are if you're asking this question you believe that certain foods are good or bad. Along those lines of thinking you…

Several things catch my attention one it seems like you are super obsessive about working out. There is a possibility that your body could possibly be burnt out from all the conditioning and lack of quality nutrition. In regards to binge eating you could be suffering from many things such as an all or nothing or idea that…

In terms of recovering from a bad binge I typically would not stand on the scale for several days to allow my body to process all of the foods. Standing on the scale only compounds the damage that could be there your body is full of a bunch of food sodium and excess crap and seeing that large number were only shock to you…

Agreed.

IIFYM There is no real secret to success but if I had to pick one it would be consistency. Too often especially in fitness and I am not sure where the psychology stems from but we always push for the perfect diet the perfect meal plan the perfect work out the perfect whatever. In reality though we all know that consistency…
