[quote=Anonymous]I have a different belief about this - binge eating isn't because you lack self control. It's your body trying to answer a real need. What you are putting into your body isn't for whatever reason, answering the need. My suggestion is to eat more. More protein, more vegetables, more fats -- a lot! Find a vegetable that you like - for me, it's peppers, and make more of it than you normally would - and eat more of it than you normally would every night.

Start as early in the day as you can - as soon as you wake up or the kids are sorted. Try to avoid bread and cereal. If you are craving carbohydrates, both potatoes (not French fries though) and rice (even white!) have been shown to be resistant carbs - better for you than breads. So eat up for a couple of weeks!!  If you are craving a snack, hard cheeses like cheddar and gouda are great as well as nuts. If you are craving sweets - flat chocolate bars - a small square (or two or three - its taken me a half bar sometimes!) until the craving to binge goes away. Before you go to bed, a high protein snack is also good - like cheese and a big glass of water.

I used to be a binge eater too!  Your solution isn't to eat less - it's to eat more. Once your body is getting it's needs answered, and you feel more in control of your eating, you can start exercising.
