TITLE: I keep binge eating. Like once a week. Can't figure out why I'm so weak.
POST: I've been trying to lose weight for a while. I was around 197 near the beginning of this year. The lowest I've been since is 173 pounds. This morning I weighed 185, up like 10 pounds from before I binged last night. 

My problem is that I've been binge eating. It's gotten to the point where I seem to binge once a week. I usually try and fast until dinner the next day to make up for it, but lately I've been eating something at lunch the day after. 

I can't talk about this with anyone, and I apologize if this isn't the forum for me to say this. 

I need to figure out how to stop losing control so completely or I'll wind up right back around 200. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

I feel fucking weak and pathetic. I'm a 20 year old guy and I spend my days stressing about how I look and trying to diet. I try and stay positive but I get disheartened a lot by my lack of progress. 

Sorry for the rant. If this isn't loseit material I'll delete the post.
TL;DR: 
I think my binges were the result of excessively severe calorie restriction and getting depressed and down on myself for not losing weight quickly enough. Moving forward I'm going to accept slower weight loss and avoid beating myself up.
