What a great thread!
I’m going to give it a go.
I don’t have much time to explain when my bingeing/restricting cycle began… I love eating - I mean “real” food and indulging in a dessert - but it seems I’ve always had (though short) periods of bingeing etc.
During the past couple of years, I started noticing that I was entering in this viscious circle.
So, today is day 2 of mine non bingeing.

Aaaaargh. Relapsed, had around 3500 calories of pretty much anything I found in the cupboards (out of pure boredom).
So it’s day 2 again.

Sorry to hear you relapsed. Don’t give up hope.

Thank you! I’m not, though I feel… bleah and - above all - scared to death of the scale. Not because of one day of bingeing, but because I’ve hade them more frequently during the past month.
As to the question of weighing myself, I’m just going to try and stick to my everyday diet and exercise and hope for the best (and wait a week or so).
As for the more troubling question of binge eating, I’ll have to do my best and - firstly - not ignore the triggers.

A quick question for the group just to try for some additional perspective - Do you ever overeat or binge and STILL feel like you need more? Not just to satisfy a craving but just to aliment your body?

I sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between “I’m satisfied/full” and “I don’t get the energy I need from the food I eat so I eat more”. I think it might also be metabolism because I do have thyroid problems
