Answers:
Omg! You sound exactly like me lol.
I'm going to briefly explain what happened to me, and how we have been in similiar situations and then tell you exactly what to do to get out of it:
For almost two years, I dieted and exercised from 30-90 minutes a day (gradually increasing) and was living, like you, off 800-1200 calories and then cutting to 500- no where near enough to maintain my weight. I became anorexic in the process at 5'2/ 5'3, 95 lbs and I was not satisfied (i'm fat im fat im fat 24/7). Sure I'd have "thin days" where my bones were more pronounced, and I'd just had a good work out.
But the days I didn't feel too good.? VERY BAD. I didnt realize it, but I was suffering from severe depression, and it affected everything. My hair began to fall out, and people had always praised it, my period hadn't arrived for months, my eyes were dull and sad, my skin was pale and dry and I literally felt like I was dying from within. But the sick part of me wanted to be thinner. I loved it.
But like all anorexics, you cannot maintain that forever, it's simply impossible and our bodies are powerful and warriors that won't give up easily. We are designed, from our hunter-gatherer days, to seek out food and survive through times of famine. Just because we live in a sped up society, does not change our natural instincts to food.
So.
At the start of college I began the awful nightmare every anorexic has: BINGEING.
at first, my "binge" was like 100 kcal over my "allowed amount of kcal" but this quickly became 2000 calories...3000 calories...4000 calories. I believe my biggest binge has also been around 6000 too)
I also began to isolate myself from friends, stay in my room off college, crying, in the dark, curtains closed crying to the only guy who seemed to understand what the hell i was going through and he told me every day without fail that i am beautiful no matter what my weight is, and my "binge belly" looks quite cute LOL. Sure, it's hard to believe that anyone will find you attractive like that, but men are not as shallow as women seem to believe. In fact, it's WOMEN that make other WOMEN feel more insecure about weight and size. yes it's a good thing to look good, but do you seriously believe a man wants a lady who is in pain because shes starved to skin and bones.?
Anyways, point is you're bingeing because your body is scared you'll starve again, your blood sugar levels were most likely at dangerously low levels and it's another way of filling the emptiness you no doubt feel all the time, hun. Physically you might feel stuffed, but mentally you are clearly so lonely and it's not right that you suffer in silence this way. You are human and deserve love and respect, and instead of focusing on trying to be anorexic again (which will be very hard to achieve since your body has had enough and does not allow you to starve again) you need to get over mal nutrition. Even with bingeing, it doesnt mean you have all the nutrients you require cos you're probably eating unhealthy foods during the binge. Visit your doctor and have him refer you to someone who can help you get out of this nightmare. Take it one step at a time and take each day as it comes. You need help, and you need it now. Can you talk to your parents or a close friend perhaps.? You deserve support!
Good luck, I promise you it will get better if you speak out, and give yourself a chance to live the life you deserve.Health Question & Answer

Well done for admitting it, that's one step done already. If you can, tell someone you trust about your issues, your best friend, a parent or perhaps a teacher. There may be some local groups who can help you, in the UK there is an eating disorder charity called Beat who can give you information and support. I wish you all the best and hope you feel better about yourself soon.Health Question & Answer

You really need to see a psychologist about your disorder. I binge to a minor degree but it is all in my head. I feel alot fatter than I am. Be happy with yourself and try to find the aspects that you think are beautiful. The less you worry about food the more likely you are to correct this.Health Question & Answer
Dear,
You don't need a diet you need a psychiatrist. Binging and Anorexia is a psychological dis-order, not a weight issue.
Please get help soon!!! I have seen friends become gravely ill from this disease.

binge eater here too. i think i need to sort my life out tooHealth Question & Answer
i am also i real bad binger but i have recently jsut come out of a 'fat' cycle.
you really need to spend some time NOT dieting and NOT binging. so after a binge start a new slate...NOT as a diet, but has a normal healthy eating regeme. seriously. the reason you are
a) depressed
b)gaining weight
is becasue you body sugar levels are shot to hell.
i know it is so hard but you need to eat normaly fora while to level yourself out.
when nad ONLY when you are ready THEN is the time to sensibly loose a little of the weight you are unhappy with, but doing exercise and prehaps cutting back a lttle on what you eat...NOT eating 1000 over 3days...this will only unbalance your blood sugar levels and thus start the cycle over again.
I also suggest going to see someone.
eating disorders are almost impossible to deal with by yourself.
i def understand why you fell so bad, both from a biological view and from and emotional point o view.
the very best of luck, i hope you feel more yourself soon.
but remember, it doesnt happen over night.

Health Question & Answer
You need help.
It takes a lot of strength to come out and admit a weakness - you call yourself a wimp, but actually coming on here to ask strangers for help is the beginning.
Go to your doctor and talk to him or her. An eating disorder is another form of addiction, and can be triggered by things .... you need help in finding ways to deal with those triggers that don't involve your addiction or indeed any other addiction. I don't think you hate yourself because you're fat, I think you just hate yourself and eat to try and comfort yourself. I know because I've been there.
And one more thing 1200 per day is not enough for someone in school. You should be eating 2000 a day, and you can pad that out with fresh fruit or vegetables. You consider withholding food from yourself to be some form of punishment, then you binge to comfort/reward yourself. Food is something to enjoy - flavours, aromas, textures. I decided to educate myself about food when I realised I was endangering my health through binge eating.
What is happening in your life that you feel so out of control, pet.?
See your doctor, and tell him or her all this. You will find the help you need. By asking the question here, you've taken the first step. Now take another step. All you need think of is one step at a time, love. It's important to be healthy, it's the most important thing. Health Question & Answer
