I don't know about the rest of you but I never had problems with binge eating until I got below a certain weight. Once I dipped below that number, I suddenly found myself gorging on pretty much anything around. Often on Thursday nights, as was sadly the case last night. Friday morning is usually my lightest weight during the week, and often on Thursday morning I hop on the scale, am pleased to see I am on the cusp of breaking through to a new low, and wind up binging in the afternoon or evening.

It feels sometimes like my body just desperately wants to hang on to a certain weight. I don't get why I feel so deprived or why I keep doing this. Does anyone else experience something similar?

Oh goodness, I wish I knew why this happens. I am getting to that point. Everytime I diet and get into the 140's, I just....stop. I don't even make my goal weight below 140 anymore because I know I'll just fail. It's pathetic. I don't have any answers for you, sorry, but I am hoping someone will respond with some ideas.

I know that feeling all too well. My magic number is 128. It was my high school low weight which I couldn't maintain for very long. I've gotten as low as 123 in the past couple months, but never for long. I always eat my way back up to about 128.

I am exactly like you. As much as I want to remain at 120, maybe it's because down deep I know that I really shouldn't be losing any more weight/satisfied with my current weight, etc. which gives me an emotional carte blanche to binge...My upper limit number is 122 usually. But whenever I am there or slightly below I say to myself "aaahhh you're fine, go ahead, eat chocolate..." it happens over and over and over...
