Think of it this way....it's great that you are recognizing that you binge-eat and that you don't need the food for hunger. So work with it. Next time you feel like bingeing, instead of being scared of eating too much, welcome the feeling. That's your chance to turn it down and find out what will really help! Check out the feelings and things to do on this site.....some of them may help you. And forgive yourself when you binge or else you might just binge again from the guilt! Try to find things that make you feel calm and relaxed. Bingeing is often accompanied by a lot of anxiety. You can do this! Actually, you WILL!!!! I was bingeing so much that i gained 40lbs in 3 months! It was seriously an addiction. If I got over it, then you can too! If you find that you really can't handle food, try always eating with people or eat out of the house so that you stay calmer. Binges are usually when ppl are alone with food. Just stay calm and patient with your weight loss, and you will be able to stop bingeing!
