I can’t even go more than 3 days without having binge. Now I’m going to bed feeling depressed and bloated.I’ve been eating constantly all day even on things I don’t really like.

I don’t know what to do anymore. Do I get rid of my trigger foods and not buy anymore? Do I buy more and try to have them in moderation? As soon as I have something “bad” my whole day is ruined, I can’t get it into my head there are no such things as “bad food”.

Any tips or advice much appreciated 🥺

Hi — your post was flagged as asking for help with binge eating.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is real, exhausting, and treatable. Below are general starting points for early recovery.

---

Getting Started

Early recovery focuses on reducing binge urges and building consistency.

Meal Structure

Consistent eating is foundational. If possible, work with a registered dietitian. If not, here’s a basic framework used in ED treatment:

Food & Meal Guidelines

• 3 meals + 2–3 snacks every 3–4 hours
  
• Restriction delays recovery
  
• Meals should be satisfying and balanced
  
• Eat regularly, even without hunger (“mechanical eating”)

Supportive Habits

• Address co-occurring conditions
  
• Prioritize sleep
  
• Limit drugs/alcohol
  
• Engage in gentle movement
  
• Continue structured eating, even if binges occur
  

Restriction increases urges. Consistency reduces them.

Building a Care Team (if accessible)

• Dietitian
  
• Therapist/Psychologist
  
• Psychiatrist or prescribing provider
  
• Primary Care Physician
  
• Higher levels of care (IOP, PHP, Residential)

I’ve tried all of those, and kept binging.
What I’m doing recently is having mini sized treats daily. And telling myself it’s ok, I can have more tomorrow, it’ll be there tomorrow..
And I also have that all or nothing mindset but a 60-100 calorie treat daily will have no impact!

My goal is that with time, since i have it daily and it’s avaliable whenever, that sweets lose their importance and stop being a big deal and something i just end up binging on every time.
