I'm an almost 23 year old female and I've struggled with binge eating for as long as I can remember but never knew what it was called. I've lost weight and gained weight, but I'm the heaviest I've ever been and I'm just sick of it. I'm not super overweight, but it's enough to make me uncomfortable in my own skin and I've felt this way for my whole life. I work out pretty consistently so it's not being active that's my problem; I just eat too much. And the thing is that I have a very solid understanding of nutrition and how to lose weight. I know that it all comes down to calories in versus calories out. I know how to lose weight, it's just so hard for me to actually stick to it because I have this incessant and constant need to feel full. I try to have my water nearby to sip on when I have the urge to eat out of boredom or habit, but it hasn't been working lately and I feel like my first instinct at all times is to walk to the pantry and grab whatever I see first. It's like, all of my self control has dissipated. The second I start not feeling overly full, I need food and my common sense doesn't have power to stop me. Until I eat something, I can't concentrate on what I'm doing. It's never been this bad. I haven't "restricted" for a very long time. Whenever I'm trying to actively lose weight, I just make sure to stay aware of my calories and portion sizes while allowing myself to eat whatever fits into those calories. Even then, the binging always comes back. It's never been this bad and I just don't know what to do. Has anyone else ever struggled with this? The constant need to feel overly stuffed, not just on the weekends or one night a week? It's literally all the time, and I feel terribly because my logical mind knows exactly what to do but I just don't feel strong enough to do it.
