I tend to binge eat when depressed, usually at night. I'll forget to eat all day, generally, then go crazy at night. Lately I've been trying to force myself to eat breakfast and I've found that helps diminish the urge later, but not very consistently. I know my unhealthy food routine is likely a contributing factor to my susceptibility to binge eat, but being depressed at the moment, I lack energy to do anything about it. I do try to remain somewhat in control by watching the calories, and keep my intake not too far away from what my recommended intake is to maintain weight, but again, not very consistently. I've noticed my binging alternates with some days only eating one meal with no appetite. I've also noticed times where even though I metacognitively knew I wasn't hungry and was just binging, I still could not resist. Makes me feel guilty afterwards, like I don't care about my health goals. I just find it difficult to maintain a food routine. Gotta keep trying...
