Binge cycle to avoid Restriction
Hi this is my first time posting here, I just wanted to know if anyone felt the same.
I feel as though I've had a form of binge eating since I was very young and only broke out of this when I started excessive calorie counting and exercising.
This gave me the appearance of someone with eating problems and my parents became concerned.
As I started going to counselling and stopping restriction the binging came back and I cant seem to stop it food is on my mind all day because I feel as though the only way to stop the binges is to go back to how I was but I do want to recover and dont want to become as obsessed with calories as I was
I'd greatly appreciate any advice or anyone who related to any parts of this story
I'm sorry in advance if I'm not allowed to post this!
Thanks for reading

Hey there,
I also have a compulsive eating disorder. Have you tried OA meetings? They can be seriously helpful.
I'm sorry you're going through this, but it does get better.
