I have put on 3 stone through binge eating

[theslippysausageiswinning]

And I literally can't stop. I used to be a lovely size 10/12 but have grown to a size 16. I'm
Quite small so I can't carry it well and I look really frumpy and my face is so puffy.

What I don't understand is why I can't stop eating/ binging. I try to lose weight and get to about week 6, then old habits creep in and before I know it I'm eating 4 Kit Kats in a row and maybe a family bags of crisps. I NEVER used to do this and I don't know what has triggered it but it's making me so unhappy (I can't stop though 😢)

Anyone else like this?

This is supposed to be excellent. I heard her talking on a podcast once and was impressed.

I am taking mounjaro, it is really helping with this.

What age are you OP?

I ask because there is a theory that changes in oestrogen levels can trigger disordered eating. And you said that you had no issues before.

What PureBoggin says is totally true in my case. I'm a mammoth now. Disgusted with myself. Never been this far in my life. Really hard to shift it. Sure it's hormone related.

I have binge eating disorder too. Someone once asked me if I’d made it up, didn’t know it was a thing. Nice.
