So backstory, I’ve been skinny pretty much my entire life up until quarantine, have always been a bit of a binge eater. Quarantine hits, and I’ve had nothing to do and nothing to spend my money on. Ended up binge eating excessively, and went from about 150 lbs to 245 lbs in the span of 10 months. Fast forward to the past three weeks and I’ve been trying to lose weight and get the ball rolling, but man am I struggling to cut calories. I’m always fine throughout the day (usually when nighttime hits I’ve eaten about 1200 calories) but usually around midnight or so I just get painfully hungry and binge on like 3000 calories of fast food. I’ve been really upset with myself today especially, as I just went rock climbing with a friend and could barely finish two bouldering routes before I had to give up for the day. I used to do this shit 3-4 times a week for a few hours at a time when I was in HS, and now I can’t last 20 minutes.
I’m seeing my psychiatrist on Wednesday to hopefully start some ADHD meds, and to my understanding one of them (vyvanse) is also prescribed for binge eating, so maybe that will help? Overall, feeling incredibly discouraged and have been beating myself up quite a bit. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
