I'm sorry you're struggling @Blue_Bird. It's hard to advocate for yourself, but if you don't do it, you can be dang sure the system won't do it for you! I hope having a case manager again might ease the burden for you.
I don't as a rule binge eat. Sometimes I boredom eat, but I try to be careful about that, sometimes waiting 5-10 min, see if I'm still hungry after that, then eat one thing (I'm talking about snacking, not meals here) and give it time before eating again. I am actually hungry a lot because I exercise a lot. But I do my best to listen to what my body is telling me. It also helps to have healthy food around if you tend to binge on things like sweets, don't keep them around. Don't deprive yourself either though; that's a fine line to toe. You can't say I'll never eat cookies again or you will feel deprived. It's easier for me if I bake something; I've got my husband and daughter to help me eat it.
