I’m currently recovering from binge eating disorder. I am also trying to lose weight. I lost about 20 lbs due to a migraine medication I was on that made me really nauseous so I had little appetite. I got off of it about a month ago because the nausea was becoming too much and now my appetite is back and my binge urges are stronger than ever. however I still want to lose another 10 pounds or so. I’ve been eating very healthy and exercising in the last month to try and lose weight. I’ve lost around 4 lbs. It was easy at first but these binge urges are hitting me strong.. it’s all I think about now. My mind is literally always on food, even when I’m not hungry. I try and suck on mints and drink water to suppress the urges but that only works temporarily. I fear that I won’t be able to suppress the urges much longer and I’m going to go nuts and binge like crazy. I thought to myself, what if I allowed myself to have a binge once every 10 days, and stuck to my normal healthy diet/exercise the other 9. I feel like that would make it easier knowing my cravings will be satisfied every so often. Would I still lose weight or would I get into a vicious cycle of losing and gaining and never get where I want to be? Bad or good idea?
