I'm not overweight and never have been. If anything, i have probably been underweight.
I walk around at around 66kg (145lbs ?) and usually compete at 61kg (135lbs) so for me, i am in a calorific deficit almost all the time cutting weight to get on weight for competitions. So i restrict myself from the unhealthy foods for weeks and then usually end up binge eating for a week or two and i end up being back up to 66kg quickly.
One thing i noticed is that i became way too obsessive with losing weight and was loving the feeling of losing weight everyday so i was getting too light which i have stopped doing at past competitions, and then on the other hand, i was getting obsessed with foods that i could eat after competition and binge eating also made me feel unhealthy.
It's weird because nutrition and losing weight for this sport is often overlooked and can lead to many eating disorders and there isn't enough stuff/people who are knowledgeable on this subject to ask help with.
