For a while now I've been a bit worried about my eating habits. I'm obsessed with calories, weigh all my food etc, am obsessed with being a certain weight- but also the thing causing me the most concern is that I go through phases where 2-3 times a week I will binge. Like, absolutely mental amounts of calories will be consumed. An example, today I ate in a binge: a big chicken mayo and bacon baguette, a tub of ben and jerry's ice cream, a banana loaf and four bowls of cereal. Obviously this is a ridiculous amount of calories for a 5'5 girl who weighs 55kg. I think I've been restricting my intake so much that my survival instinct has kicked in. I can't remember the last time I went more than a week and half without binging, but there are times when they happen a lot more often than others. I always try and compensate my doing a lot of cardio, restricting calories and I am now attempting to make myself sick after every binge too (although I have never been fully successful).
Does this behaviour sound serious enough to warrant a doctor's appointment or will I be laughed out the place? I just want this silliness to stop and to be happy and healthy because it's getting to the point where I feel like food is controlling my life.
