I had a 6 day binge my stomach is soooo tight and hard and uncomfortable. My cravings were out of control. However the scale jumped up 14lbs. Never has this ever happened to me before so I am so concerned at that large of a jump. I know that there is lots of volume in my stomach from food and my stomach not emptying properly… is there any suggestions on what has been the most beneficial for getting bowel movements going and also to help the scale go down. I’m beyond uncomfortable and my stomach is soooo tight hard and tight. Pls don’t suggest water and lots of walking that’s already implemented daily for me. I need advice that will help

Hi, I had a 6 day binge and it led to the scale rising 14lbs. I weighed in at 127 and now I am 141 lbs. I feel absolutely horrible. I’m inflamed and my stomach is making lots of noises. Realistically how much of this is true fat gain. And am I able to get back to my starting weight in 10 days??

So, i try to starv mslf it lasted 3 days, after that i just eat and eat without stopping. Why? ik that its bc i starved but how can i stop eating so muchhh, but still eating ig.

Dopo essere riuscita a perdere molto peso in primavera, da luglio ho iniziato ad aumentare di nuovo a causa di una inversione di tendenza nelle mie abitudini alimentari, cambiando da un rigido controllo calorico a costanti e ripetute abbuffate di ENORMI quantità di cibo e sono passata da 38.5kg a 42 kg c.a. (sono molto bassa, quindi anche se sembra basso come numero in proporzione alla mia statura e livello di attività non lo è affatto). Oggi ho fatto l'errore di vedere mia madre che ha subito commentato, sottolineando di volermi fare un complimento (riteneva che fossi troppo magra prima, ma era una preoccupazione sua senza attinenza con la realtà, stavo molto bene, ero semplicemente, appunto, magra) che mi trovava meglio, più tonica, più piena ecc questo mi ha causato una reazione emotiva violentissima di quelle che non avevo più da anni e appena è andata via ho avuto un brutto sfogo su me stessa davanti allo specchio. Mi disgusto, non riesco a concentrarmi su niente che non sia il mio corpo orrendo, il disprezzo e lo schifo che provo per me stessa, sento di non meritare nemmeno un momento di pace e di quiete, ho voglia di accanirmi, di farmi male, sono delusa e arrabbiata con me stessa, vorrei strapparmi la pelle di dosso, non riesco a calmarmi. Avevo soltanto bisogno di scriverlo, e che qualcunx leggesse... perché non ho a chi poterlo dire.

I know restriction is the problem, so i tried lower deficit- didnt work. Next tried maintenance- didnt work. So im thinking maybe its my cardio, completely cut cardio only do steps- still binge. i tried eating with no intention just eat whatever and whenever i want, bad idea i ate everything available on the fridge but at least felt less guilt for some reason which sound scary. i dont know what to do, all i can do now is stick to deficit because at least by the end of the week if i do binge it will turn out to be maintenance because the week add up to it. and i want to at least hope that this does pass

I started my dieting (eating clean/a lot of walking/20-30min cardio daily/very little 5-10min strength training 2/3 times a week) June 1st. It's now august 12th. At the end of June I made 3 batches of healthier banana breads that I love and packed them in the freezer for snacks when I want a treat, figuring ive been working hard to finally deserve these treats. Down to 1 more loaf in the freezer as ive been enjoying my treat.. all is well and coming along as planned.

Not sure what made me buy some candy the other day but I bought some jolly ranchers/lollipops (big bags) because candy has always been my favorite. For these 2 month, the amount of added sugars in my diet has been extremely low so I thought no big deal..lets see of i can still have candy while eating clean daily...had 1 jolly rancher 1 day.. 2 days later another 2. Next day a lollipop🍭 ..today, 2 lollipops...got home for dinner and ordered out, steak/chicken/shrimp fajitas dinner with rice and beans..not the worst (one of my go 2s when I am lazy to cook) ...

Now after being stuffed full bloated and everything, taking a walk, opening my doordash app again and searching desserts.. literally have a 60$ bill for cookies/cakes and banana pudding...while being bloated.. I can taste the lollipop on my tongue still and thats after brushing +dinner....idk if it is the candy I had today or the fact that I slept 3 hours last night without being able to fall back asleep before work in the morning. ... slept 3 hours the other day as well...but i didn't binge that day, sure has affected my energy though.. is it the candy or sleep or both????

I have not yet pulled the trigger and ordered that delivery for dessert but I am about to..how bad will this be for me if I do this and what should I do when I do????ive had this in the past where this was the downfall, trickle down effect where it killed everything and gained everything all back and went back to eating w.e it is i want.. this time around ove been the best o have been with diet/exercise and relationship with food so im thinking I'll get back on track tomorrow and going forward!? Help :( also how can I post progress pics as I am fairly new here

So i am 25/F, and i weigh 232 pounds. I have started this weightloss journey multiple times in my life and have always failed, this october i almost lost 23 pounds and then again i had an accident and i was unable to go to the gym and hence i gained the weight again!
Now the thing is i am not able to control my cravings, i struggle soo sooo sooo much, it’s unbelievable
I have tried everything, eating protein and all shit! I even have diet coke but the thought never leaves mind and i end up ordering it.

I get way too hungry and even though i have had my meal i still crave for some food and end up eating junk, what should i do?

I try to eat in deficit which is 1400-1500 but end up crossing it every single day

I have bought treadmill for my home and i have 5 and 10 kg dumbells at my place, so i can do the workouts at home now as i have such a hard time going to gym, i am from India and i do wfh. So i struggle when it comes to getting ready and leave. AND ESPECIALLY TO Gym

Why am i not motivated and bothered enough. Why do i fail miserably, i don’t want to opt for GLP- 1 injections and drugs. I want to loose weight naturally

I really need the ways to get rid of the cravings, the ways that actually help. Also give me the silliest possible ways to loose weight and which motivated you to loose weight and to do the steps and go to gym

I am ready for everything - ways, books, anything that you guys recommend
Are there any chewing gums or medicines that i can take to loose my appetite. Not the weightloss drug (glp), tbvh i am financially not ready to take it

Please guys i really need you help

Disclaimer- i kinda talk abt weight loss in this post

I find myself thinking a lot about food when I track calories. However, I know that tracking calories helps control my binges and prevents me from harming myself by consuming 10,000 calories in one sitting, which I might do during a binge. The concept of tracking while trying to recover from binge eating is frustrating because it makes eating feel like an extra task that stresses me out and makes me want to eat more.

I also end up being too lazy to track the exact number of calories I consume and try to overestimate. When I do track a binge, I often try to spread it over the week or reduce my intake for the coming week because I know the exact amount of extra calories I’ve eaten and feel like I should counteract the weight gain.

This calorie tracking makes me think about food constantly, but I also want to recover and lose weight. Losing weight is one of my goals, and I know I need to be in a calorie deficit, but then it causes binging. I’m kind of confused at this point.

My question is, how can I lose weight and stop binging without tracking calories? One thing that worked for me was intermittent fasting because I felt very full during my eating hours, but this didn’t last long because I started thinking about my weight loss and how I should have tracked what I ate during my eating hours.

Hi all! I’ve been taking Mysimba for one week now and I don’t think it’s working. The only thing I’ve noticed is a little nausea, being anxious at times and food tasting weird (?), but I don’t feel less hungry or have stopped binge eating, which is why it was prescribed to me. I’m frustrated cause all I’ve read is good things, that it works since day one, and I really want to stop bingeing, it’s been going for too long I’m exhausted.

Has anyone have a similar experience? Does it get better? Will it work? 🙏🥺

Thank you!

what do i do? i’ve been so good but today i relapsed. probably from doing a really hard exercise and then not eating enough/ not letting myself have ONE BITE of my sisters hot dog.

there’s no way i lost all my progress, right? i should just stay consistent?

I (18f) have struggled with eating my entire life. Ive always been on the bigger side and ive always blamed it on genetics because both my parents are also on the bigger side, but now I dont really think thats very true. Im a pretty picky eater and most of what I like is pretty unhealthy stuff which I hate but its just reality. But anyway, anytime we have food in the house and I dont have anything to do im eating, whether its just a snack or a full on meal im always eating, and if im not eating im thinking about food. I never feel full, like at restaurants when everyone else is full i just pretend to feel full most of the time and I take the rest of my food to go but I immediately finish it when I get home. I almost never turn down food, like the other day I already ate two hashbrowns for breakfast and my mom made herself some pancakes some sausage and some hashbrowns and I ate half of her pancakes two of her pieces of sausage and her other hashbrown. The night before that I made two corndogs and some tater tots and I ate that and there were still some tater tots that my mom didnt eat so I ate them. Usually after every meal I usually eat something sweet and its never really enough. I just dont know what to do i want to lose weight but its just impossible I just cant seem to stop eating.

Hey 19F here. Im very athletic, my lowest weight was 58kg at 24-25% body fat (that pretty low for women). I lots of sport but consistently i do boxing and running. I also been strength training since i was in middle school so workouts has always been my hobby. I dont have problem with discipline.

I grew up in a very unhealthy household, my oarents dont care what they eat. They stocks snacks and sugary foods weekly. The last 3 months i gained 5kgs despite working hours of hours in the gym daily.

My parents always feed me and force me to eat once i got home. I usually live alone for college but because of the summer i just live with my parents on this holiday, college starts again in 3 weeks ish.

Ever since summer holiday start and me living with them again its always binge and restrict cycle, im really really tired of running half marathon to just burn on the calories the force me to eat. I mean sometimes they dont “force” me but they always make sure the food is plentiful so i can eat them. I understand so much that they care about me and i care about them too, i love them more than anything in the world, more than i love myself. But im just tired. Tired of blaming myself, tired of the excessive workouts, the water fasting after the binge. I just wished they actually see that im struggling.

Gaining 5kg because of holiday isnt fun. I dont even think its an ED. I love foods but foods can sometiems ruin my life. I came to the point where i thoughy dying will actually be better than doing all the excessive workouts.

Anyways, im going back to dorm early (in 3 days im going back) so i will be out of this hella household. But im just worried how to get back on track again, 5kg is a lot of work.

Please show some love guys. I just need to vent. Thank you.
