I had a binge eating disorder, too. It really messed me up for a while. I have bipolar, and the counselors and psychiatrists that I've seen for that weren't able to help me. I finally had to help myself. Recovery from binge eating is possible, you just have to be patient. What worked for me, was gaining a sense of worth again. I gained goals to achieve and feel good about. I try to keep myself busy, as that helps with reducing urges. I plan my days in advance. You have to keep in mind, that the binge eating is a symptom, not the problem. You're over eating because you feel bad for some reason. Step one, is finding out why you feel bad. I was depressed because I felt like a failure and a loser. I no longer feel that way. I am back in school, doing well, and on track to success. Next, you have to do things to keep you from getting down. For me, it's exercising and staying busy to feel good about myself, as school is easy. Next, it's about knowledge. Learn why your habits are so unhealthy, both mental and physically. Finally, it's about changing your habits. I don't drink diet sodas any more, or even eat almost any processed food. I am down about 15 pounds after first starting to be healthy and stop bingeing, and am looking to drop 20 more to have a 6-pack. The first two months were tough. The making of new habits takes time. For a while, I only ate in the middle of the night, because I controlled myself during the day. Then, I stopped eating in the middle of the night after I stopped obsessing over food. If I ever felt I'd sleep eat, I'd sleep in my guest house where there is no food.
