S/C/G: sw 218lbs/cw 136/gw 125

Height: 5'8

Default keep yoyoing bc of binging, help

So for the last 3 months or so, i've been losing & gaining the same 6lbs over and over again. like i'll diet for 2 weeks, lose a few pounds, then overreat and binge for a week, and have to start everything over again. i'm so done with it like it's so frustrating and demotivating, and no matter what i do it always repeats.

not sure why it happens, but it might be to do w the number of cals i eat maybe? i usually eat between 800 & 1100 because i have a tdee of 1300-1400 litterally (no ed, it's really that low) and i'm too lazy to workout so i kinda have to go that low. but i mean idk, i feel full and satisfied and don't get cravings eating like that. plus the binging isn't hunger related either, it's hard to pinpoint fully why i do it but it's not that

i think it's just partially me like letting myself eat in bigger portions or foods i can't eat cos their too high cal and then not being able to stop after & boredom and emotional eating (like if i overreat one day i feel really depressed, so i'll be more likely to continue eating to feel better?), plus other stuff but idk why fully. I also mainly live off cookies & diet soda so i mean that might be part why lol. if i had more good low cal stuff laying around would prob be easier

so anyways why do you think this always happens? and what do y'all think i should do?

I'm in same boat. I was 195 in February, got to 182 in March. Now I'm 189, I'll follow my plan down to about 180-182, then go on a "bender" for a couple days and be right back at 189 and have to start all over. Still it's amazing you've lost as much as you have from your start weight. So you've definitely got some of that magic discipline we all desire.

How are you doing now? That cycle can be so frustrating and exhausting — I totally get it. I’ve found that planning meals ahead of time and keeping healthy snacks nearby really helps cut down on impulsive binges. It’s not always easy, but having some structure makes a big difference. The support from the community here has been a lifesaver too — just knowing we’re not alone in this is huge. I’m also planning to run some tests through labcorp, and maybe getting those results will give me more insight into what’s going on with my body. I’m hoping that kind of info can help guide me toward a more effective diet and wellness plan
