I don't think binge eating is a bad habit...it is a disorder, and pretty much mental. I have had BED for almost 20yrs. For me it is "all or nothing" thinking. All- I am very restrictive, and not in calories, but in my food choices (low salt, low carb, no chips, nothing fried, no hot dogs etc) Nothing - anything goes in....fast food, and I can binge on anything. I am an experienced yo-yo dieter. My t says the only way I will maintain any weight loss is if I get my binge eating under control. It's pretty much mental and psychological. Food is controlling you. Changing the way you think is the way to success. It's a battle I deal with daily, for months at a time. Instead of eating our emotions, we need to face them. I'm overwhelmed with all my thoughts. I've been trying to figure this out for years...depression, low-self esteem, no self-worth, ADD..and now binge eating!!

wishing you well. I think my therapist can help me, but I am the one who will have to do all the mental work! good luck
