Help for Binge Eating after serious diet and weight loss?

boozemuse22 · Yahoo User

I began a diet (more of a lifestyle change) last year and implemented a regular exercise regimen. The diet was entirely healthy, I ate from all food groups and consumed about 1400- 1600 cals/ day. After about a year I had dropped 25 lbs and reached my goal weight and could not have been happier, then suddenly found myself having binge eating attacks about once a month. I sort of brushed these attacks off, until they became more and more frequent to the point where they are a daily problem that i must deal with. I find myself eating upwards of 4500 cals/day, and have already gained back 10 of the lbs i worked so hard to lose. The thing is that i was much happier on my diet and excercise program, but feel like a failure and can't seem to find the motivation to get back there now. I have also just undergone a major lifestyle change - moving to another country, and I need help on how to get back my old life.
