"aldi eat loads of groovy cars." What does that mean?

I’m the same. A real issue with binge eating and I’m not sure how to crack the cycle.

I've had a real problem with binge eating & with binge spending in general (Bipolar).

My sister now has my debit card & gives me a cash allowance each week for food etc. (Bills are paid by DDs).
So I cant overspend on food.

I live alone so I have literally NO treat food in the house & don't drive so in the dark evenings I don't like to walk to the supermarket alone.

I like sweet food best so I've made swaps - instead of chocolate/ sweets etc I eat sweet potato, grapes, berries, organic carrot sticks etc.
I've gone cold turkey completely on chocolate- I've had to as we get given lots of chocolate at work & people were thinking it was odd how much I was eating.

The worst time is evening so I'm trying to fill my evenings with gym or housework or reading anything but binge eating.

I'm on a strict calorie controlled diet too so I mustn't even binge on fruit (which I'm capable of doing).

Also at home I wear my skinny jeans which feel tight - that puts me off bingeing; at work my tunics are very tight now & I refuse to go up a size, feeling restricted wearing them puts me off eating too much.

I'm guessing Bottom means eating groovy biscuits from aldi in the car?

I have binged ate in the evening after tea since DD2 (3) was born.

I can't see me stopping either Confused too scared to step on scales but have gone up a dress size....

I'm really struggling at the moment. I lost a lot of weight last year, and I run a lot, and recently it's like my body has rebelled against me and I can't stop eating. I don't binge per se, as in fast frantic eating, but I graze all day, constantly eating. I try to low carb so all my food is very high fat, high calorie, and then occasionally I'll just have biscuits or toast and then that tips me into just eating a lot of calories.

I'm just about holding it together, after Christmas I'd gained 3lb but I lost that in January, but I'm really scared of losing control and piling all the weight I lost last year back on (3 stone)

I'm slim for the first time ever, why am I doing this to myself? I was so much healthier and happier when I was sugar free. Ironically I am smashing my running right now, I am running 10-13km 3 times a week, and doing strength training, and yet it's all wasted because I can undo all my hard work (and it is bloody hard work) in a few minutes at the fridge.,

I feel out of control and very sad.
