Hi ,
at such a young age if you have been binge eating for over a year with 2500-3000kcal ,
First of you must identify your trigger points ,
But even before that I wish to talk to you in detail about any past incident which acts as a trigger for you which is the case majority of times as Binge eating is an Emotional disorder.
Also you cannot come down from 2500-3000 kcal diet to 1200-1400kcal diet just immediately as your body will feel weak and have withdrawal symptoms
