I've been calorie counting well for about 1.5 years now until I got inspired by fitness YouTube videos to have "cheat days" - absolute WORST idea ever. I should never have watched those videos.
Now, every Saturday is essentially a controlled binge. I would gain 6-8 pounds, spend the rest of the week eating extremely restrictively to get rid of this weight, only to do it all again.
I told myself this was fine because people on YouTube did it, and only found the courage recently to admit I had developed some form of an eating disorder.
I've been trying to stop it, but it's difficult to dissociate the feeling of euphoria and freedom with cheat days. The other 6 days of the week I feel depressed, moody, and extremely fatigued. My mind is constantly preoccupied with my cheat day and I can't think of anything else.
Has anyone experienced this, and how did you overcome it?
