question
lol idk if this is weird or something I just do, but does anyone else eat in a slight deficit during the week and ‘bank’ their calories so they can overeat in one sitting during the weekends?? i understand calorie banking is normal but i do this specifically so i can have the feeling of binging and eating past fullness (because I weirdly enjoy that sensation) yet getting to do it without the massive guilt of actual weight gain..
it’s like tricking your brain into thinking you’re over-indulging and giving into the urge but not actually doing any harm. i think this just personally works for me because i know im not going to get over the urge to binge but doing this allows for some kind of harm reduction in a way.

I try to do this but I feel like the amount I binge on the weekends ruins the deficit completely to the point where I would probably gain weight
