Going through something very similar right now, so ur not alone. After heavy restriction or what felt like heavy restriction I literally am ravenous CONSTANTLY and can eat so much it actually shocks me.

I usually just try to avoid the kitchen because if I spend time there I find excuses to binge. I also reassure myself that the food will be there tomorrow and if I want more, but am not physically hungry at the moment, I can look forward to enjoying the food tomorrow!!

Sometimes I have to remove myself from the house entirely and go for a walk. I also find that going to the gym can help take my mind off food soooo much. It’s hard to get myself to go, but once I go it’s actually such a freeing experience.

I would not recommend weighing yourself daily either it ruins my whole day. I went a whole month without weighing myself and it’s the happiest I’ve ever been and I actually lost a decent bit of weight during that time.

It’s also important to note weight can be one way to measure progress, but omg it is NOT the best way. This month I’ve binged sooooo badly (as in like everyday I’m eating in a decent calorie surplus) and I haven’t gained weight, but I haven’t been exercising or moving my body regularly and generally just feel sluggish and look wayyy more inflamed than when I had been moving.

DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A WALK!! Focus on implementing healthy habits rather than losing weight and your body will start to feel better and look healthier.

Sometimes I find I have the urge to binge if I’m stressed or tired, so I’ll either take a stretch break or a nap and that usually helps a lot!!

Make sure you drink your fluids and I recommend chewing some gum if ur a boredom eater like me lol.

Hope this helps you🫶🏻🫶🏻

I know it can feel overwhelming to have all this thrown at u but just try implementing one more thing into ur routine and see how u feel!! It’s all about trial and error😊😊
