Since christmas, when everyone brought in chocolate virtually every day, I've been struggling with my binge eating habits resurfacing, doing some really shameful things such as eating 3 whole 6-portion cheesecakes in a single day (on top of meals), not through choice but lack of control. There are more but I won't get into that. I'm slowly getting a grip on myself again by cutting everything out but was wondering what others going through it had done to handle BED? I've made healthy snacks available to myself to eat when I do get urges but I still get that little voice that says "go get a cheesecake, you've earned it". Thanks all.

It wasn't until I found a wonderful psychologist who specialized in those with eating disorders did I discover past demons lurking in my inner soul were the culprit behind why I was self-sabotaging myself. I'm not saying everyone needs to see a shrink, but I think deep down inside there are more than physiological aspects affecting how we eat.
