And you have a history of binge eating too. So, your plan is to do the inverse of binge eating and therefore not deal with the emotional issues surrounding the binge eating.
Seek therapy to deal with the binge eating. The weight will come off if you are restarting working out. I have doubts you have a healthy, reasonable body image based on what's posted. You will deal with that too if you deal with the emotions behind eating.
Good luck.
I've struggled with binge eating for a few years now =/ Before I wouldnt gain too much weight because I was running a lot but now I've ballooned because I'm not running as much (and I'm older).
The closest I have been able to control some of this binge eating has been by doing things like fasting - I find I'm much more calm and collected and able to make better decisions, etc.
A lot of the time I eat for taste (sometimes boredom) and keep eating even though I'm full because I like the taste. I'm not sure how to stop this except something like fasting which removes some of the cravings.
