Really try to identify those foods that send you off onto a binge, and get rid of them. If they are easy to get, they will be easy to eat. Clean up your environment and you won't be so easily able to binge on foods. If diet bars are your weakness, for gosh sakes, don't have them in your dorm! Box that food out of your immediate environment. Try to identify substitutes that are satisfying but don't trigger an eating binge. For me, I can't have chocolate in the house. Period. I am fooling myself by saying that I will restrict myself, because I can't. Result, no chocolate in the house. BUT, for some reason, fat-free puddinig that I have to make myself DOESN'T trigger a binge. It stays in the house. If I really, really, REALLY have to have chocolate, I will have some, but I have to walk 4 miles to the grocery store and back to get it. Guess what - less chocolate!!! So, clean up your environment from all your trigger foods, and find better alternatives to keep on hand.
Best of luck!
