It has been a few years, and now I am finally ready to take off the weight.

That's the same approach I worked with, Nancy, and it really helped me. I can't believe I can have ice cream in the freezer until I have to throw it out. Wow. I still feel like I think about food too much, but I can eat without binging and even manage to lose weight over time.

I think Dolly R posted this on another thread, but I will raise my hand and say I am a binge eater as well. Not so much anymore as I am paying more attention to how I feel when I binge. After bingeing I feel horrible, I usually sleep poorly and pay for it other ways the next day. I don't think I will ever get over it completely but I keep at it.

Yep...binger all the way. I was a "in the closet binger" growing up. Even now, when am eating something that is SCREAMING at me, I try to do in private. As a kid, I'd stay up late waiting for all to go to sleep, so I could raid the kitchen. Sick.
