I am here to tell you that i could have posted this word for word. I have lost the same 83 lbs 2 times already..still working on re-losing what i gained back. It is discouraging. For me it was and is like that part of my brain is not wired right. I eat, but its like i am not here..there is no controling it when i am in a binge. I have started something new, added fasting. So far, i have to say it is the only thing that has stopped my binge eating. I keep gaining and dropping the same 10 lbs too and found it way easier to binge. I dont' know, and can't say, that this will work forever, but for right now it keeps that binging under control and i had a complete 2 months train wreck of eating.
