You CAN do it. I always thought that I couldn't, either, but if I just take it day by day (and sometimes, minute by minute), it is possible.
When you get the urge to binge at night, resist it for 10 minutes, then another 10 minutes, and keep going. I've read that if you can resist it for 10 minutes, the urge will go away--but in my experiance, that isn't true...so you just have to be strong for one night, and that one night will give you the confidence to go one more night.
What foods to do you typically binge one? I would get them out of the house--because if they are there, you will eat them. There's no reason to have to actively resist that kind of temptation. It doesn't get rid of the urge, and it's not a guarentee, but it's much easier to resist if your go-to binge foods aren't in the house.
