You have an eating disorder. From one to another, sticking with not doing it is the easy bit. Strict dieting is easiest of all. Binging once under stress and then stopping again is the problem. Eating normally is a problem.

Everyone, almost, binges once in a while from stress or celebration. It's not doing it again the next day that's very, very hard for those with eating disorders.

Have you sought any help?

You need to talk to your G P. This is an illness, just as valid as any other.
