I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago through ultrasound, as I am what can be categorized as a "thin cyster". I always had the low g.i diet under control, exercised 5 days a week, and had a BMI of about 19.
However, I became a little too restrictive, and found that my body was almost crying out for carbohydrates, so i found myself sporadically binge eating fiber cereal. But it was no big because it was once every 2 weeks, so it was all fine.
But during this spring semester, i have been studying abroad in kansas (im from aus) and have noticed that i have developed an out of control addiction to sugar and carbohydrates. I have binge eaten A LOT here, but have only gained maybe 4 pounds, because i work out a lot, and walk everywhere. But the problem is the fact that the binges aren't emotional, they are a physical need for food altogether. I eat normally throughout the day, but it will get to a point where my body will be crying out for food at midnight, and i'll end up eating around 800 calories right before bed, and then afterwards i feel so energetic and so much better.
My mother comes to kansas tomorrow, and then we are traveling for 5 weeks. She promised me that she would help me break this habit, but I was wondering if any other cysters find that they binge every now and then for actual physical reasons, over emotional ones?
