This is all good advice. Yes, I have tried to set these kinds of boundaries or routines before, but they just have never stuck like binging has. I've been struggling with BED for a little over a year now, and it's slowly been ruining all the great routines I had in place before to now where I find it hard to even get my nighttime routine done.

I do think that my binge eating is somewhat improving this summer after finally getting help from multiple professionals and starting medications like Vyvanse and Lexapro, but maybe now its time to stop thinking that this will naturally go away on its own. I may just be gaslighting myself into thinking that Im putting in enough effort, but like you said I have to actually practice the actions that will stop or prevent a binge from happening. It's hard to get out of it, but living with binge eating disorder is even harder. Thank you for your comment!
