i haven't been able to stop either. after each bad meal/bad day,k when i notice that i'm so bloated i look almost pregnant, i tell myself "this has to stop, now is the time!" but the next day i fall back into the habit again. the one thing i have found that's helped a little bit is getting on wellbutrin again. it kills my appetite and other kind of impulsive/compulsive activities. not completely... just helps give a little nudge in the proper direction. i'm doing a little better now. still bad days but not as bad as bad used to be and slowly working down to something reasonable, trying to lessen the addiction and the reliance on food as a coping mechanism. hopefully you can too. "it's just one meal, just one day... " tomorrow is a fresh day and in making an effort to muster the willpower to stop, try to remember that stopping is not synonymous with absolute perfection overnight. the way black and white thinking goes with binging is scary... it might take time, you might run into bumps, but it's the endgame that matters.
