Just an excuse to eat?

[HenC]

I really really really really need help! I started ed recovery three weeks ago and it was nonstop binges until about a week ago they stopped feeling like binges and started feeling like regular overeating (still thousands of calories in one sitting). I keep seeing on the internet "it's okay to binge in recovery, you need it," and I feel like I'm using that as an excuse to eat and eat and eat. Is this gluttony? Idk if I'm eating all the junk food because I crave it or because I know I can and have an "excuse".

Have you got a counsellor/therapist to talk to - sounds like you need some support during recovery period. I found having a meal plan helpful - and it reduced the binging and got my eating back to a more "normal" pattern.
