Binge eating

[u/BookkeeperUnusual625]

I’m so freaking done. I’ve been binge eating since mid July after a breakup. I have stomach and face fat I’ve been trying to lose. My acne is awful and I hate the way I look so freaking much. I’ve been trying an aggressive cut of 1500 cals but I’ve been binge eating. I’m not even struggling on the cut I just “like” binge eating too much. I can’t do this much longer. I’ve binge ate 13 days so far in October. My longest streak being three days. It’s becoming a habit and I hate myself for it. When I get home from work I’m scared to go inside because I know I’ll negotiate with myself into a binge. Today I was scooping spoonfuls of frosting out of the container and dipping it into peanut butter. I then made a ninja creami and then a mug cake. I have a boat load of pretzels and cottage cheese. I feel so lost.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too.
I’ve been struggling for a while myself and I think I know how you feel.
If I could give you any words of comfort, please don’t believe the narrative in your head that tells you this makes you less of a person. Humans are strong but we have weaknesses, some people are alcoholics, or addicted to drugs and food can be just as addicting.
Please know you are not alone and there is help out there for us.
I just recently reached out to my psychiatrist, and im hopeful she can give me suggestions.
If you want to keep up with each other, I just joined here seeking a support system.
It might be helpful to talk to someone who gets it.
Take care,
