The hardest part for me so far in treatment is trying to figure out why I want to binge and why I do binge. One reason I realized is that I was restricting through the day on a daily basis - under eating and skipping meals which screwed up my metabolism and made me crave everything and in copious amounts. I have been trying a new eating plan - breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner (no more than 4hrs between meals) and have been doing a bit better on the binging because my body isn't craving as much food as when I was restricting. Try it out - keep a journal - and record everything! You can do it

I will hide the food containers strategically in the trash so no one will know. I have one good day - eat decent and feel really good. The next day I find myself driving through a fast food place ordering a large meal - eating every bite. It's horrible. It's like what I eat takes control of my whole life. There are days I make sure not to eat breakfast or lunch just so I can pig out at dinner. I'm about overweight and its getting worse. And just to top if off I go to Jazzercise about 3 times a week which is basically for nothing. I hate hate hate being a binge eater. I wish I had the money to seek the help of a professional but I don't want them to stick a pill down my throat. What's worked for you??
