I've fairly recently (last half a year) had a MUCH bigger issue with binges. Haven't gone 7 days (or 5) without a huge binge. I really, really hate it. It's the mental CRAVINGS that get me every time.
I've learned that usually, consuming caffeine or alcohol can trigger me (dammit...) and that boredom does it. I can be around any foods and not binge if I feel busy and happy, but if I get bored, I'll shovel the crap in. Ugh. Also, my TOM can ramp up the cravings hugely.
I've tried restricting the types and amounts of foods I eat, and a ton of other stuff. But when cravings hit, I have to eat. If I don't, I just binge bigger later. So, now I'm going to try eating when I feel a binge coming, but eating healthier stuff. That limits the calories, hopefully.
Good luck dealing with everything! Hopefully we can all overcome this.
