Binge eating is a tough disorder to kick, because although beating any addiction is hard, we need food to survive. We can’t go cold turkey on it like you can with cigarettes or alcohol, etc. Furthermore, just speaking from my own experience, I can say that food can be very comforting when one has no support system. That’s been a biggie for me personally. I know how hard it is and how it can feel daunting to even keep fighting, but you are strong and I believe that you can beat this. Instead of viewing it as a failure, try viewing it as something from which to learn. Why exactly did you binge this time, what were the triggers, what can you do to avoid this from happening again in similar situations, etc. I really hope my response helps, I’m thinking of you and hoping you can stop beating yourself up (easier said than done, I know!) and just take a step back, take a deep breath, and go from there.
