I can go one day without bingeing and then the next day I am bingeing from the time I am awake till the time that I go to bed. I eat so much that sometimes it makes me sick. I don't know how to stop this cycle. I don't want to binge but I don't know how not to when I get upset. All I can think about is food.

@BridgeyBear93 It can be very challenging to change your eating habits... Going a full day without eating is not the best option dear, no matter what disorder you have. Please get the afvice of a physician before proceeding to such diets. Personally I'm on a weight loss journey myself and the only thing I could advice you is that consistency is what makes it effective, not intensity. So it's better to keep consistent on a diet with a normal amount of carbs then try to eat nothing. You're being too strict on yourself and this is causing you to eat again. WHen you eat a healthy amount of food though you will feel fuller for a while. Also ectremely strict diets mess up the metabolic rate and cause you to gain the weight you lost almost immediately. All this from personal experience. In any case you should definitely talk with a specialist to see what's best for you. We're all here for you dear. Thank you for sharing your concerns today.

@calmDew1576I have talked to my doctor and my doctor is aware of my eating disorder and is also helping me come up with a plan. She has also helped me come up with an eating plan that is not going to make my eating disorder worse. I have how ever know that I can not count calories and have found a safe way to work on my eating disorder recovery and my weight loss at the same time without both getting in the way of one another. Thank you for any concerns. because of everyone here, it has been helpful to my recovery process.
