Pinklady, welcome.
We're so glad to have you here.
I think that breaking the cycle is very important.
But completely changing "bad habits" is terribly overwhelming, so I'd suggest starting small. Even making one small change in your day will start to break the pattern.
ie: determine to have one healthy snack a day (maybe a little bowl of cut veggies with some dip)
or work more protein into your morning meal to keep you satisfied longer.
or plan to eat snacks. Now that I've started having three snacks a day between meals, I'm much less inclined to binge.
This is such a difficult journey... most of us have the answers, but buckling down and using those solutions takes a great deal of willpower.
