Are you on a really restrictive diet? What do you mean when you say diet with green tea?

[souvenirdarling]

Usually when I overdo on junk stuff like that, cornflakes, bread and butter, it's because I'm not getting enough water and fat in my diet as a whole - and because I'm stressed and anxious. Was something making you nervous?

My green diet mean 5 cups of green tea each day and lots of veggies and sometimes fish I try not to eat more than 900 calories a day so probably thats why but I do drink water lotsss of water.

In my opinion this would be the definition of a really restrictive diet. Binging in this situation seems to me a pretty natural response because your body needs/wants more food.

I used to do that when I was younger ( try to eat less than 1,000 cals a day) and I gained about 20 pounds from doing that. I wish I had followed a more moderate and slow method of weight loss. It would have been a lot better for my poor body too.

I also discovered that for me, I actually do need a good amount of fat in my diet to feel satisfied and not starving which would always lead to a binge.

And I'm really bad at controling what I eat.

Well, you've answered your own question, but I think you knew that. A 900-calorie diet is not sustainable and will almost inevitably lead to periodic binges.
