You may want to look at this description of Binge Eating Disorder and see if it looks familiar.

Although this sounds trite, I love this sentiment..."It's not what you're eating, it's what's eating you." I think at the very outset, it is important to put aside the negative self-judgement. Try to look at binges as your body telling you that there's something going wrong in your life. Then ask yourself, "what am I feeling?" Focusing on the feelings is the key to ending the binges.

Some books that can be helpful are "Overcoming Overeating" and "When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies" (sorry, I can't remember the authors offhand. Also, Geneen Roth is an author who is recovered from Binge Eating Disorder, and her books are very inspirational.

Good luck.
