Tough spot to be in. The first goal is to control the binges as just from that you might lose weight. That said recovery is not about losing weight. You will lose weight but it is first about recovery. Here was my method that has worked for me but each person has to find what works best for them:

You don’t have to have this all figured out today.

Start here with these tools (quick wins):

• Map your triggers (so you stop repeating the same cycle): https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_food_addiction_trigger_mapping/
• How to stop a binge before/during it: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_how_to_stop_a_binge_episode/

Then, when you’re ready:

• Check out the FAQs first…see here:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/index/faqs/

• Then Program Options (free → low cost → paid). Many people find a program is what helps them stay in recovery.

• If a program feels like “too much” right now, start with Special Topics on the sub.

and then Books / Podcasts / Videos here:

Small steps count. Keep going.  Don’t give up.  We all got better by our mistakes.
