Well done for making it yesterday!
I am trying really hard this evening. I definitely struggle more after 6pm (its 6.20pm here) than the rest of the day. I feel like dinner just sets me off on a binge a lot of the time.

I understand what you mean about not being taken seriously because you were never underweight. When i was in my Anorexic phase, i was taken seriously but was in denial and didn't want the help..but now i am in a Bulimic phase and am normal weight (or a little overweight i think, actually), i really struggled to find a therapist that took me seriously.
Luckily, i found the therapist that i have now, and she had 20+ years of BED and COE so understood perfectly well that you can be normal/over weight and be just as ill as an emaciated person.

I also find that when trying to avoid a binge, i will give myself a time limit. For example, at 6pm this evening, i could feel that i was in a binge kind of mood (if that makes any sense?), so i looked at the clock and said to myself "right, if i still want to binge at 7pm, i will allow myself to"..then came on here to distract myself for that hour (so far so good!!). Then, what normally happens, is that it gets to 7pm, and i think "well, i made it an hour...i can make it another hour"...and then, the urge passes. Not all the time, but some of the time. If i can prevent even 1 binge a week by doing this, it's worth it to me
