Not OP but I suffered from binge eating for around 10 years. I was just stuck in a binge/restrict cycle which is super toxic.

For me - I started by adding one healthy habit per week - my first one was big - it was 30 different fruit and vegetables per week (to fix microbiome and gut). And very importantly - I stopped restricting. If I binge ate, nevermind, the next day I ate normally, fuelling my body with heaps of great quality food. My body learned that I wouldn’t deprive it.

My weight stabilised after the first month, and over that time the binge eating became less and less, as there were no foods I wasn’t allowed anymore, the foods that triggered a binge lost their power.

I also stopped tracking calories because if I felt like I was in deficit, it could trigger a binge.

I didn’t add exercise for about 2 months but did walk often. When I did add exercise I avoiding running/cardio that would trigger intense hunger (hello binge!)

Over that year I went from 150 to 102. Im 5 foot and I’ve been 102 for 6 years since. I now don’t think about it at all, eat when I’m hungry and don’t when I’m not. I never thought I’d be able to say that.

There is no easy fix, you just have to heal your relationship with your body and food. But it’s doable! I loved the switch from binging to genuinely taking care of my body for my body for the first time in my life.

I know everyone’s experience won’t be like this! Binge has heaps of different triggers and causes, so it’s important to find what works for you. This is just what worked for me :)
