Hi everyone, I'm trying to move forward from fairly severe binge eating disorder (at least that's what it's come to seem like to me). I've gained about 100lbs whilst largely eating 'healthy' meals - normal portions, nutritious wholesome food - but also binging on huge quantities of junk - 2000-3000 calories in a sitting, mindless, unending eating. You know the deal!
Anyway, I've been doing well. A month now of steady meals, no binges, weight dropping but not under-eating, not worrying about the speed of weight loss, eating plenty of healthy food.
Today I came home and had a bacon sandwich and a slice of cake with a cup of tea, between my healthy lunch and healthy dinner. I imagine this isn't something most 'normal weight' people would worry too much about. It's a normal, if not very healthy, meal.
But I suppose I never quite know - is it 'normal'? Or is it a 'binge'? Is it a treat I can enjoy once or twice a month?
I am certain my 'cravings' aren't due to hunger or undereating. I am very good at eating the sort of food that fills me up and that I find delicious.
My binging is generally a response to stress and a need to 'relax' and this meal was certainly me trying to 'relax' so in that sense it worries me. But at the same time, I definitely avoided buying an entire pack of cookies, and having a second sandwich, and adding chips etc.
Just looking for some perspective I suppose!
