I was severely underweight because of family issues. Later on I’ve gained weight by binge eating. I gained the normal weight and my BMI was normal. Still I kept eating continuously and now I’m overweight. All the things I try usually work for a max of 15 days then I quit. I used to love going to the gym but now because of work I can’t. Please give me some suggestions

It's tough to balance eating disorders.  It sounds like you are really frustrated from going from dangerously thin to the heavier side.  Finding a healthy balance is difficult when we have all the challenging emotions that we deal with in life.

When we were in the worst of Covid, I watched a video on how to use things in the house to exercise because the gyms were closed.  One of the things that stand out in my mind, was they put cans in a back pack and then did strength building exercises with it such as arm curls and such.  

With eating disorders we need to be careful not to cause more problems with exercise, but with our physician's guidance, we definitely can reach healthy states of living without being excessive like eating disorders tend to be.

Thanks for posting.  It got me to thinking about balance in life.
