[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the binge eating -[b] have you thought about going to a program like Overeaters Anonymous? [/b]Some support for that specific issue may be helpful. I also like Geneen Roth's books about emotional eating. They're pretty touchy-feely but also made me examine my relationship with food in a productive way.

I agree with PP that equating exercise with weight loss or weight maintenance is not ideal. Focus on your diet and your eating as the first priority.

I suggest starting by downloading Lose it Or MyFitnessPal and just track what you eat for a week or so without placing any concrete restrictions on yourself. Then move on to setting a calorie goal and try not to surpass it, still by eating whatever foods you want. Then slowly eliminate some trigger foods (like processed carbs and sugar) and add more whole fruits and veggies. You could also track how you feel and what makes you want to binge (there's a notes section on myfitnesspal). If you slowly ease into this without putting too many restrictions in place from the get-go, you're more likely to see it as an experiment in self-care vs. restriction/punishment. I think you could white knuckle it through a month of keto or IF or whatever and see some results, but in my experience it's temporary and you need to address the root cause of the weight gain to get lasting results.[/quote]

OP Here. I have, actually. But I am not sure if I really fit in there? And I am so embarrassed to even tell my husband that I might need to go. :( [/quote]
