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

In a way I can relate. Like I can overeat chips and still feel like I need chocolate, or vice versa. I do not have thyroid issues though. Are you on thyroid medication/are you seeing an endocrinologist?

I am but it’s still pretty early so I’m not sure yet how much difference it will make - I only just started medication a week ago so I know I’ll get more of those answers later on

I see. I hope the medication helps you feel better soon. :slight_smile:
