Is this common for binge eating?

Hey, haven’t posted here but have found myself really struggling recently. I literally cannot enjoy things in moderation. I know that sounds dramatic, but it is 100% the truth. I’ll use today as an example. I was eating clean all week, and then for some reason I had the overwhelming urge to have something sweet. I ate one, and next thing I know I ate the whole container, ice cream, and half a container of Oreos. It is all or nothing for me, and I try to tell myself, “I can binge only if I eat healthy for the next two weeks” but I never make it that long. I’m always thinking about the next treat I can have, but the problem is, once I start, I literally cannot stop till I feel like I’m going to throw up. It’s concussing my thinking and my health. Is this a common behavior for people with binge eating disorders, or am I being dramatic here.

How easy is it to control your dreams?

People who are consistent lucid dreamers, is it hard to control your reality while lucid dreaming. For example, can you hold a conversation with a person or eat a food without accidentally thinking of something else and changing it all. I have anxiety and am always in my own head, so wondering if this would be an issue if I ever managed to lucid dream. I know this question may not be the most clear so I can explain it more if anyone’s willing to answer.

Do some people just simply have an inability or lack of mental capacity to lucid dream?

I’ve been trying to lucid dream for a few years now, albeit, I could be doing more, but I was just wondering something. Is lucid dreaming possible for all people, or will some people just never be able to do it no matter how hard they try?

Does moving meal times to later on in the day help reduce hunger when trying to go to bed?

I find the hardest part about loosing weight is trying to go to sleep with that dull, nagging hunger. I always end up getting out of bed and eating, and ruining my deficit. I’ve tried doing some research online but it’s kind of split with the answer. If I move more of my calories to later on in the day will that help reduce this nighttime hunger? Assuming I’m eating the same things and exercising the same. Or does meal timing not matter as much.(obviously won’t eat everything for breakfast though or anything even if it doesn’t matter)

Any athletes struggling with anemia?

This has been a relatively new struggle for me (about a year) but it has hit pretty hard. I’m an Xc and track runner, and have noticed my runs and just life in general has felt so shitty recently. I’m always tired and heavy and frequently skip training because of it which is something I’ve never done before. I’ve talked to doctors and we are working on solutions, but was wondering if anyone here had any advice on how to deal with it on my own. Like is there something I should eat after runs? Or is there any supplement I should take? I would really appreciate any help as this has really derailed a lot of my hard work, and is really starting to mentally affect me.

My parents told me something that kind of unsettled me.

I don’t really know how to put this, but my parents basically told me I don’t seem happy anymore. I personally disagreed but now that I think about it, I don’t know if they’re right. This year was kind of rough, developed some sleep issues which have kinda gone away fortunately, and school and athletics took a lot out me. Along with this, while I haven’t told anybody, I think I have developed some type of eating disorder due to my excessive running for cross country. Nonetheless I didn’t think anything was really that wrong, I talk a lot with friends and look forward to things. As I think about what my parents told me more and more though, maybe something is wrong. Could it be possible that I lost my happiness and I just don’t realize it? Is there a way to know this? I just felt like I needed to vent a little cause what my parents said really put me down, even though I know they were just trying to help;I just don’t like talking abt my feelings or anything. If anyone has had a similar experience or knows what depression feels like, please share. I just want someone to talk to abt this.

Im cutting at a 300 calorie defect for track rn, and have noticed I have generally been less hungry as compared to the beginning of my cut. Along with this my weight hasn’t dropped that much recently but I’m pretty light to begin with, just trying to get to peak form. I know for a fact I’m still eating less than my original maintenance, as I’m very strict with my calories and tracking. Could I be slowing my metabolism down a lot, is it that responsive? and if so, will it bounce back when my cut ends?
