Hi Sadpeach,
Sorry to hear this has happened. I’m a fitness instructor and nutritionist so I’d like to offer some help.
Myfitnesspal is great at keep track of what we consume. It gives great insight into what we are eating and what it contains. With a lot of clients I’ve found that when they stop using it, it can turn to bingeing.
Using the app, you do restrict your intake so having some time can help reset the control v suprize element the brain loves.
Do you think it would help if you tried something like that 80/20 rule so you could have both controlled calorie intake & indulge in small amounts?
Whenever I see a pattern like this it’s always about the bigger picture. Sometimes eating can get out of control when we feel too under control in another situation.
Hope this helps.
