I don't know if this helps, but sometimes, even when I can feel that I'm about to lose control with food, I feel better if I know that I'm still doing something that shows I haven't totally given up. Sometimes it helps me to change just the smallest thing. One time I tried to just sit down with the food I was going to eat and prepare it well and do my best to enjoy the taste.
