Question by Paula: Scared to eat and gain weight?
Like I’m legit a food addict/binge eater so I have days where I eat to either extreme (either a ton of calories or barely any). I’ve been so good this week eating 800 calories and 900 each day and excersing a lot. In scared to weigh myself because I ate 2200 calories yesterday. (My bmr is 1500 if you need it) will I gain weight? How much? I’m so scared but don’t lecture me on my “eating disorder”.

I think you should see a dietitian, not a counsellour. You may not even HAVE an eating disorder anyway, but if you speak to someone who wants you to be healthy, together you could work out a plan to get you back on track, you sound kinda confused right now 😉
