So, there's something called comfort-eating. That's what my mother used to struggle with, comfort-eating, then purging afterward.

With comfort-eating, you combat the emotions with food. When you're upset or sad... like a coping mechanism.

I do something similar. Except, when I'm upset, I eat less than I normally do. Or rather, I eat nothing.

I'm scared to weigh in tomorrow. I skipped it last Sunday, so it's been two weeks since I had been five pounds over my starting weight. I'm scared that I might be still at the same weight, or under. This week has been a bit difficult. I've been eating, but I haven't been eating the amount of calories I'm told to eat. And I'm back into this comfort-starving.

I do this quite alot too. The best way seems to put yourself around food that you know you enjoy, and find it hard to resist.
As for your weigh in, you shouldn't be worried about it. It will just tell you if you need to do more work or not :)

I float between the two.

Sometimes I binge, more often I just stop eating.
