Help

Hey I’m new here but I need help. I feel like I’ve jumped into a black hole of binge eating and bad images of myself. About two years ago i was at a happy weight of 115 lbs at 5’3 and now I’m at 165lbs and I hate it. I slowly stoped exercising and began eating more and eventually diluted myself into believing that my eating more was binge eating. But I now I truly do binge eat. And I do it everyday. Most times it happens after lunch but I’ve done it before breakfast too. I hate it and I don’t know how to stop. I want to have a normal eating schedule and get back to my happy weight. Any advice ?

In the long term some counselling around body image and eating would be a good move - but in the short and immediate term - when I got tempted to binge I set up diverting strategies - eg binge after lunch - made sure I had an after lunch immediately after eating time - with others if possible - suggest breakfast - eat it at a reasonably early time ie straight after you get up so you don't have time to binge - then again make sure your out and about or have something to do. Good luck hope this helps.
