Hey! I need some help from the collective mind.
34f, fairly active. I walk a lot, go to the gym at least twice a week, and weekends are always spent out and about.
I'm overweight, with a BMI of around 28 at 165 cm.
I have this "all or nothing" mentality when I'm surrounded by food triggers. If snacks are available and free, I’ll eat them just because they’re there. I only need to pop into the office kitchen, so there's no real barrier to stop me. On the same day, I’ll often buy a share bag of Milky Way chocolate buttons and eat the entire thing in one go while on the train home knowing well that a) I don't need it, b) I'm not hungry, c) I will regret it.
I track calories, so I know exactly how much I eat on those kinds of days (around 3000 kcal on average), but I can't seem to stop myself. Afterwards, I feel miserable, sad, full of regret, and I hate myself for it. Then I’ll stick to my calorie limit for three days, only to overeat again on day four.
Does this sound like binge eating disorder or alarming in any way? I know Reddit isn't the place for medical advice, but since I’m based in the UK, I’m not even sure if this is something I could realistically raise with the NHS given its state atm, if it is a real problem.
Any tips? Any advice?
