Background - I have been recovering from (self diagnosed) BED since December. I used to binge and was overweight since I was in Uni (I graduated 2 years ago). After having given up my trigger foods (fast food, take outs, SUGAR) I hadn't binged in 6 months and was 20KGs down.
Why I gave up - This is gonna be a tapestry of excuses really. My office team planned on a 18K hike through the mountains and I somehow convinced myself I'd need to carb load like way before and eat loads of protein bars/ chocolates on the way to keep my energy up. I convinced myself after coming back that I had ~40K steps and would need to replenish my lost energy so let's order some McDonald's since I was really tired and hungry. I also got my periods the day later and decided chocolates are a treat I deserved. And a week passed and I was eating almost like my Uni days (take outs multiple times, interspersed with Oreos and Snickers bars).
What happened -- I have been feeling extremely bloated (painful even) noticed hairloss (again) and tiredness and definitely the worst of all -- the instant need to fuck my face. I garnered the courage and stepped on the scale. I had gained 11.2 pounds. More than 10.
How is this even possible. I am so scared and I feel extremely guilty. I threw away so many months of hard work.
This sucks.
