Binge eating disorder and cycle

Been binge eating for close to 2 years now..Also been cutting for about the same amount of time and I dont even remember how it started but it was definitely slow and progressing.

I have ran 2 cycles, currently on my 3rd and have all been cutting cycles besides the first (test only) which I bulked but at a higher bf than I should have.

Im running tren a, test, anavar

I am 20. I am pretty huge for my age, around 15% body fat, 5'10.5 and hoovering 205-210lbs. All lifts are elite. I keep putting on size and strength because my cuts usually turn into slightly over maintenance and calorific surpluses, that it ends up always just being a slow bulk, hence why I have been consistently putting on size/strength but not losing the fat I want to lose.

I eat around 1700-1800 calories for cutting, workout 5-6 times a week and do 15 min cardio 2-3 times a week

Also I started cycling after getting diagnosed with low testosterone, and my doctor prescribing me test. Its obviously not healthy, but many of the risk factors behind blasting have been mitigated by the fact that I Blast and Cruise and dont have to hop off and I am monitored by a doctor.

The worst part of all is, I consider myself disciplined in life. I weight ALL of my meals, I ALWAYS hit my macros, cardio, workouts, and I know the whole science behind calories in vs out, have all my plans organized, excel plot for cycles, continuous blood work, etc. Its depressing when I binge because I do the math in my head and realize that eating 6k calories for 4 days would already scientifically speaking make me gain 3-4lbs of fat. That would take me 2-3 weeks of dieting just to make up for those 4 days of gluttony

When the binge eating begins its usually honest hunger. I can barely walk, stand up, I have extreme mental fog and I feel like shit to the point I feel like passing out. I usually have a large ass meal and decide to just make the day a bit of a calorific surplus. I do feel much better after I eat but then its a downward spiral and then the binge usually either lasts just for that day, or even a whole week..When I binge I stop working out, taking care of my trimming, hygiene, I spend all the money I dont have eating out, fast food, constant eating..Wouldn't be surprised if I consume 6k+ calories a day.

Cycling has helped me as I put on muscle when I binge eat even when I dont lift, but the fat gains are still there.

Does anyone suffer/suffered from this that can give me some tips? This is so detrimental to my life, my finances, obviously my health, and overall physique. I know the obvious answer is just stop but when it hits no matter how much I tell myself now how it wont happen again, it always fucking does.
 
Quit acting like a teenage girl.

We all eat like a pig from time to time. Shit, give me a couple bong hits and I'll gorge till I can't fit anymore.

It's called being a dude, we eat. .. Sometimes a lot.
Quit calling it a disorder.

If you want a real disorder just keep doing steroids , we've got one called ASIH

You Skip trimming? I hope you mean the fucking hedges.
 
It's a serious disorder OP. Apart from the cutting, I am an older version of yourselves . It sux.

What I have learnt is that binging has certain triggers, and these triggers just can't be avoided all the time. What is important to me when I need to face my triggers, is that I have my toolkit ready to minimize the amount of calories I cram into my mouth. Working out is important in the toolkit. Apetite supressesants too. A 5 pound can of coleslaw ready to go.

Work out your triggers, build up your response toolkit. Face the binge-tsunami with a smile on your face.

And stop fucking cutting yourself little man.

Hey man appreciate the advice. I can definetely recognize many triggers at this point but I havent made the battleplan on how to deal with them.

Also by cutting I meant losing fat not actual cutting myself.

I don't mean to be a bubble burster but what are your lifts that are elite? Also what other treatment did your doc try before putting you on TRT? Any particular reasoning why you were low T?
 
Oh one Word four cyllables that will help you reduce the cravin' for misbehavin' : Sibutramine

Enjoy, DQ

Shut the fuck up dude. You don't have any idea what you're saying.


Op many bodybuilders and physique based competitors suffer this. It's a screwed up hormonal system involving ghrelin leptin and other hunger hormones brought on by long term restriction. It's why many bodybuilders rebound after cuts. It causes crazy food obsession. It happens to recovering anorexics also. Look it up to the dumbass who shot his mouth off.

Let me guess what you're feeling. You're watching the clock hour to hour thinking when you get to eat again and planning what you're going to have. Right?

What you need to do op is either get help, or start a plan. Get some appetite supression stuff and start a long reverse diet. Spend at least 6 months in either slight surplus or maintenance.
 
At 20 years old I wouldn't worry about hitting macros. I would just eat and train. If you're the type of person who has a difficult time with food the last thing you want to do is put extra pressure on yourself.
 
I'd agree with @Burrr to some extent but most likely do not know of existing disorders, so if I am missing something please excuse me. However, I have a sleep eating problem that has plagued me most of my life. I don't know why or what makes me do it. I've never cooked or prepared anything, just digging through the refrigerator seems to be my sop.

Have you tried placing cowbells in the fridge mate? Never in a million years will my eating disorder lead me to sleep eating cowbells. You need more cowbells. And Sibutramine.

I knowz ma shit, DQ

Lol, maybe I do need cowbells. It's not anything to be worried about yet I think, just kind of a funny thing.
 
Y is that?
Psychological. Look up eating disorder treatments also. The last thing afflicted need to do is try to follow some restriction protocol. Google "intermittent fasting binge eating" and you can read the reports on how it triggered them to develop it if they were prone.
