I have been restricting an excersising to make up for my two binge days this week all week. I know i havent burnt it all off yet, but today when i weighed myself i was 111LBS!!!!! i havent been this heavy in months. how could i have possibly gained this much weight? it is not water weight because it has been a few days since my binge, and i have not eaten anything salty lately and it cant be my period. its mathematically IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE GAINED THIS MUCH, so why have i done it? this doesnt make sense and im so discouraged because this is going to take me like a month to get off! W T F!? Has this happened to anyone else after only 2 bad days? Why has all my months of hard work gone down the drain because of 2 stupid days.
Someone please tell me how this can be possible!? Im feeling so horrible, fat, lazy, and stupid right now....
this is going to sound silly but....how many ... excuse my language "bm's" aka #2 have you gone since your binges? if your constipated, that can be it also...drink more water to help move things along.
In recovery binge eater here. I had spent a year trying to figure out exactly why I was binge eating. The majority of my issue I think is: Eating to too large of a deficit nearly every day. In my opinion, you are setting yourself up for a cycle of binges, unless you stop it NOW. You set yourself up for a binge, going with the 1300 calories deficit on Sunday. Then you paid the price the next few days. I would not continue this cycle. It's taken me a year and ten pounds to figure out my binge issue. Are you trying to lose weight or just maintain??
It is impossible to have put on 6 pounds in a few days, unless your calorie counting is not correct. I would say it is still water weight. Drink at least 8, 8oz glasses a day. Whatever time it takes to get the scale back down, that is the time it takes. Please do not continue the cycle you are on. Binge eating is a horrible ED and very hard to over come once your body gets used to that cycle.
From what I can see, your binges might be due to your restricting. It's called the binge/restrict cycle. Someone binges one day, and then restricts the next day to make up for it. The problem is that this worsens the cycle because when your restrict like that, your body wants to binge later to make up for not getting the calories that it needs to function.
How can you stop this cycle? Stop restricting so severely, even if you went over the day before. I'm telling you, you have got to stop the excessive restricting. It's not healthy, and this site is all about being healthy.
If I'm understanding correctly, your maintenance level of calories is 1500 (since you estimated 3000-ish calories to be 1500 above your maintenance level).
But that would mean that you ate only 200 calories on Sunday and Wednesday (1500 calories minus 1300 for the deficit) and 500 on Thursday (1500 calories minus 1000 for the deficit).
If so, that's grossly under-eating and it's starvation. Most likely, your gain is from your body holding on to every morsel of nutrition it can because it's not getting enough food. If you've been eating that little for an extended amount of time, your metabolism is probably really slow by now. I'd suggest eating maintenance calories for two weeks to rev it back up. Don't weigh yourself during these two weeks as your weight might fluctuate from fluid retention. After, you can go back to eating on a deficit if you'd like to lose some weight but keep it to less than 300 since 1200 is the minimum recommended amount of calories for women (over the age of 21). If you're under 21, the calculators on here aren't really accurate for calculating your maintenance level and the minimum you should eat is 1500 calories a day.
