Uncontrollable binge eating PO
Thanks for all the support Currently I'm on day 2 of IF doing a lot better. I live with A LOT OF PEOPLE. 12 to be exact so getting rid of "bingable" foods is not really an option. I'm looking into finding a good nutritionist in my area. The main thing is to get right back on track.

@ms.sss I do a dry 26 hour fast 2× a year for religious reasons. Everyone is entitled to feel crapy and moody. If anyone knows that it's me then you go down the line of why do I feel so bad other ppl have it much worse ect. *Sigh* life is so complicated P.S. doing another fast right now

Uncontrollable binge eating PO
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm 2+ yrs PO sleeve My brain sometimes gets into the mode where I "must" eat and I cannot stop. Yesterday I ate like 7 bowls of cereal!!! I typically dont even like cereal but for some reason I just couldn't put down my spoon. While I'm eating I know I'll regret it later but I just can't stop. I'm suffering the consequences of this like crazy. My tummy is going crazy and I'm gaining weight. I dont remember doing this pre op. I just dont understand where this is coming from. I didn't calculate but I'm pretty sure I hit over 3,000 cals yesterday.

Very upsetting # on the scale this morning CW 174.8. I know I messed up 1 day but a 4.5 lb gain seems not right. Especially since I didn't lose weight the week before #disappointed

Went haywire last night with some binge eating sad part is it was truly a waste of calories. Was alone and ate complete garbage that didn't even taste good [emoji26] at the moment I'm trying to clear my head and tell myself I am not a terrible person these things can happen to anyone
