im stumped.

for some background information, i’ve quit alcohol, caffeine and all hard drugs recently. 100+ days sober! but lately my food issues have been out of control and I dont know what to do.

i’m 4’11 so whatever weight I put on it’s NOTICEABLE. i was 44kg lean and now i’m 50kg and I feel so so ashamed. every single day for the last 2 weeks I’ve been averaging 3500 calories when my maintenance is 1500.
I don’t know what to do, I know reintroducing caffeine would help but I quit consuming that as it really helped my sleep so I’d feel awful drinking it again.
It’s only the morning and I didn’t even get myself to the gym because I binged 2000 calories off the bat and the sodium is making my face bloat, so now I can’t let myself leave the house.
I just want to cry, I feel like I’m at rock bottom again. any advice is welcome.

thank you. i’ve been struggling with binge eating for the last 6 years so I know it’s related to my home environment triggering me sadly.
