Original Post by thermal:

If you're eating only 800-1,200 on non-binge days, that could explain why your body would want to binge.  You won't have much of an appetite because your body's being thrown between starving and ODing on food, so maybe planning out your day before and sticking to eating what you have planned may help.

You should also be eating way more than 1500 calories, you probably need 1500 just to be alive (google a site that will tell you your BMR) PLUS whatever you are burning throughout the day, so you probably need 2,000-2,500 just to maintain.

When you go to your doctor you should raise your concerns with him/her, and he/she should be able to help you set out a plan for what you should be eating and what you can do to help with the bingeing.  I think anything that would help with bingeing may kill your appetite completely, so that may not be the best thing.

Good luck!

Thanks!!

Congrats!

That has to be the best Christmas present im sure :]

I had severe hypoglycemia in High School. Every morning I would get dizzy and black out then usually vomit. The nurses would give me those weight watchers protein shakes and have me carry small snacks such as trail mix and cheerios.  It also helped in the morning if I ate a cracker in bed right when I woke up.

I had my daughter and packed on almost 70lbs due to a high risk pregnancy (she was 10000% healthy when she was born though :])

It took me a good 3-4 months to lose all the weight with severe calorie counting

My situation was similiar so someone suggested I change my workout routine so my body wouldn't get used to the same exersise everyday

I hear ya, whenever it gets cold here I gain weight like crazy but I finally figured out how to beat it.

Low Cal soups like the progressive ones are amazing when you have those crazy craving for warm fatty soups. For the whole can its 120 calories compared to the 800 my MIL makes.
