I’ve been fasting for awhile but I just ate so much food
Right now I am around 111 pounds and nowhere near my goal weight. I feel so guilty that I ate so much. Is there anything that can help so I don’t binge again while keeping my weight the same or lower?

My #1 tip would be to keep your calorie limit relatively high? I tend to binge (hello yesterday) if my net has been low for a couple days straight.

I agree with ixodes; increase your calorie intake just a bit to better avoid binges.
It works for me (usually).

High restriction with exercising

Yep, keeping your calorie limit high will keep you from binging excessively. Don't worry, I binged today too, so you're not alone

I personally like to do a week of eating 1,200 calories or lower than slowly begin to restrict heavier week by week. It made me not binge for months, and when I do binge I use this tactic again. It's always worked for me

1. eat a 500 deficit or even only 250 deficit or try to eat maintenance for a week so you can focus on getting nutrients by eating healthy so your body won't physically feel like it needs to binge eat

2. lots of baby carrots a day keeps the binging away:)

the way i fend off binges is by eating 1-3 small snackz a day OR 1 dinner. if its small snackz, my calorie budget is ~800-900. if its dinner, i may eat jussst one serving.

 

i feel a lot more full when i eat one serving of dinner. you may be able to afford a small snack early in the day + 1 dinner if the urge to binge is very heavy. this allowz u to have ur fave dinner or your fave snackz. just keep it low carb.

 

also, keeping your mind distracted helps you forget binging. if you have a person close to u like a loved one or partner, id spend time with them in a way that doesnt allow u access to binge foodz. this strat mostly works for maintaining but also can help with losing if ur snackz/dinner choices are lowcal.

Try to allow yourself at least something similar to the foods you crave (eg I have a really sweet tooth so I have bananas with a little pb or banana nice cream)
