I am a binge eater as well. Same reasons...boredom or "stuffing my feelings" with food. I hate it. My closet is filled with different sized clothing.

I have tried keeping busy, I have tried food I don't really like (it didn't work and started eating take out food which left me obese, an empty wallet, diabetes, tight clothing and more depression.

I am having to see an food counselor. I think I need more of a behavioral approach... like I said... eating my feelings. Keeping busy I have to be careful with because I spend to much, sleep a lot, and have a lot of depression.

I am tooling down with the nutrition lady and telling her that I am binge eater. I have also tried eating in the morning which I don't normally do because i am not hungry... it doesn't seem to stave me off until lunch.

I am trying to eat smaller portions but usually fail. My hands shake when I am not full, even after a full healthy meal. Normal portion sizes look likes snacks to me.

Other than taking up an old hobby of cross stitching (takes lots of time and concentration which I think will really help.

I think the important thing is not to give up. If I screw up, I just start trying over again.

I am also tempted to do a type of diet, any type just to get my weight down. It is so difficult as it's starting to affect my mobility (it is so much harder just to move around when I am bigger).

I am sharing my story of where I am now to let you know, that you are not alone. You are not alone at all.

Back to my hobby which keeps my energy, focus and hands busy.

I hope this helps.
