hi guys. i've been wanting to binge every single day for over a week. my dad gave me his burger for dinner because it was the last one and i had asked if we had any more. he made himself soup. and then i couldn't even eatr the whole thing... i was so mad at myself and felt so guilty. i only ate half of it. the rest was split up between lola and maria. is it bad that i can't always eat my whole meal? this is frustrating. i can't find a happy medium! i go from wantinsg to devour my whole fridge to not being able to finish a normal meal. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???-fallon

I definitely get what your feeling. What I do is I will binge and pretty much stuff myself with anything that's around me and then for like the next week I'll eat less than 500 calories. I have a really hard time finding a happy medium. Either I don't think it's enough because I want to binge or I don't eat anything really.
Give yourself time to get used to healthy meals. I know that it's hard. I'm still having a rough time with it.
Nothing's wrong with you.
You're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Stay strong. I'm here if you want to talk.

Please don't be frustrated with yourself because no, it is not bad that you can't always eat your whole meal. Nobody can always eat their whole meal wheather they have ED or not. And when your body is not use to eating 3 balanced meals a day, it is normal for most to devour food. It's more of listening to your body and being "capeable" of giving it what it needs.
