Binge eating / restriction and fear

...See more About 3 years ago for about a year I've suffered from orthorexia, compulsive exercising and then anorexia. Unfortunately I didn't receive any help from anyone but somehow pulled through and got out of my eating disorder on my own with the help of resources online. I know it sounds silly but I have really healed and for some time was pretty good as I've been gradually getting better. However, I feel like some parts connected with disordered eating have stayed with me and I'm really not sure how to help myself. So for one, I still have a lot of thoughts connected to food and I very much overthink whether I am really hungry or not when I want to eat outside of my regular meals. Also, I still have some fear connected to gaining weight as I'm not really satisfied with myself and it's hard for me to accept myself while I'm getting heavier. I struggle with binge eating now and I binge about every three days and it's really hard for me to break that cycle, become less stressed about food and just be a normal person when it comes to accepting my body and eating. Does anybody have any tips on how to cope with these problems?
