most likely you are restricting too much... too few calories, too few nutrients, fat, etc. see a dietician and get a healthy food plan. restricting always leads to bingeing

you really do need to get your head around the all or nothing mentality.....I say that because my entire family is that way....little steps can make a word of difference. I think most important though is support... I ring my sister and she talks sense into me. Weboth agreed we need to get to the place where we "own" our food choices. You know what, firstly I am an adult so I can actually choose what I want to eat. That means if I blew my calories cos I chose to eat that cake of chocolate...firstly I can because I chose it. But secondly that means I chose the consequences of it ...the extra weight, the slower weight loss...

Also I try and do something to compensate. Okay so I screwed up AGAIN ... well dang it, then I'm going for a half hour walk. IT clears my head and emotions and reminds me I'm still working on good habits in my life. We have to have permission to fail. But not use it as an excuse,..if that makes sense. I decided to walk every day regardless of what I ate. The days I mess up at first were the worst - just wanted to vege in front of the t.v. But I MADE myself go for a walk , because we do have willpower and we do have the power of choice. Just one decision and it is really changing me!

Now I LOVE to walk. The moment I Get my shoes on and get outside into teh fresh air I am glad for my decision even if I'm feeling really depressed that day cos I always feel better. I have decided it's no longer about my weight, but walking for my mental health! It reallymakes me feel good.

By the way sugar can affect your mood (for me it does) and walking is a good way to counter the mood swings...

So yeah think of just one thing that you are going to do every day regardless of your food choices...like taking a daily walk. Or joining the local swimming pool...something FUN but tht gets you moving. I have found when I am moving and active..I'm more motivated to eat better.

I am exactly the same!!! I have been on a binge diet cycle for years!! One thing that helped was to quit the diet and try and eat healthy!!!
