Q. After ~12 weeks of lots of alcohol consumption and binge eating, fuelled by misery, I decided to get my act together, change my attitude and behaviour and reverse the effects, namely the 9 pounds gained.
For the past week I have logged my calories faithfully with the myfitnesspal app and although I control how much sugar I eat I do still have substantial carbohydrates from wholegrains, rice and vegetables.
I am 5'4" and my arbitrary calorie goal is 1200 although I wouldn't beat myself up if I went over. Example, today (it is 10pm) I have eaten 1054 calories: 49% from carbohydrates, 28% from fat and 22% protein. Although not hungry I might eat a little more before bed to bring it closer to 1200.
Every time I have dieted in the past I have easily tackled stomach hunger 'sensations' but can't deny that I always feel light headed, woozy, spaced out, derealised. I usually grin and bear it (In a way it is slightly like euphoria and my imagination flows well) but this week and next I need to focus on studying which is tough when feeling spaced out and dizzy.
I guess I could up my calories for a bit but if you have experienced the same and found methods/eating patterns/food types that can combat the dizziness I'd like to hear about it for future reference. Thank you in advance.

A. you're eating below your limit. 1200-1500 cals is the suggested range for rapid weight loss dieting, and 1500-1800 is for more moderate dieting. Your already on the low end and when you dont hit the limit your actually eating less than you should. you should increase your limit to the middle of the range and see if that helps.
Besides antidepressants, what med(s) can be prescribed to combat Binge Eating Disorder?
Q. Self control?! Obviously you have not heard this is a REAL psychological disorder.
A. anti anxiety meds (benzo's like klonopin & ativan), sometimes antipsychotics (abilify,seroquel,geodon etc)if there are signs of a mood disorder also and sometimes mood stabilizers (like lamictal & depokote but depokote causes weight gain so they may not prescribe that with an ED)

A. afraid not my deal. just don't eat it!!! Its ok every now and again just dont eat it every day. If you make a habit of eating healthy most of the time then eating junk food at a friends every now and then wont be a problem. Eat fresh veg and fruit all day until you go to your friends and then just eat healthy the day after and carry that healthy eating through to your everyday lifestyle from then on.
