The Binge-Diet Cycle

You're likely all familiar with the binge eating cycle on this forum. Basically we restrict the foods we eat (usually to lose weight), but get too hungry to end up breaking our diet. We give in, eat loads of food (a binge) and then try again tomorrow. This cycle is powered by the BS that is fed to us by the diet industry, our own emotions (leading to comfort eating) and our bodies trying to protect us against restrictions.

It should be an 'eat nothing/restriction' day for me, but I'm currently tucking into pasta, red sauce and vegan cheese. Just wanted to share this moment with you all :) (I'm not even sorry). It's the little moments...

I'm a listener on this site also and am here if anyone needs to talk 💚
