Rock Bottom Binging

Hey everyone. I'm here as a rock bottom sort of case. For my whole adult life I've been on an eating roller coaster. I'm the classic example of someone who will work her butt off on a diet and exercise plan, lose a ton of weight and then ruin that all by uncontrollably binging. It's the only thing that calms me when life gets too crazy. Right now, I'm at the beginning of a marital separation and the stress of the lead-up to that has made me balloon to a scary level that I never thought I would reach. I'm having to explore all kinds of medical weight loss options because I just can't keep up with my own emotions anymore. Personal training, OA, cutting calories, running every day, 4 hour workouts...nothing works because the problem is emotional. That's why I'm here...and grateful to be. I just want to know I'm not alone and that things can be okay. That a different, healthy future awaits me. Thank you all so much. And you're not alone, either.

@gentleEast8898 I find that any kind of workout (weight lifting, bikerides or walks) helps me regulate my emotions. But when I feel off I binge too.
