I used to be a night binger. I would get large amounts of food, like a frozen pizza with crackers and cheese and cookies and soda and just eat it all at once late at night. I recently started the Atkins diet which cuts sugar and most processed foods out of your diet but one problem is that going off plan and eating a little bit of sugar can trigger unbelievable cravings. We still have all of the bad foods in the house because my brother likes to have snacks in his lunch. For the first 2 weeks of my diet I didn't even really have an urge to eat them. The past couple of days I haven't eaten enough...I've eaten nothing but eggs, bacon, cheese, and jalapenos for the past 2 days. I'm not trying to under eat, because it's important to eat on Atkins and any other diet. The reason I didn't eat much yesterday was because I didn't plan my meals or take any meat out to thaw, so I just made deviled eggs and bacon. Today, our sink is plugged and we can't have a plumber come look at it until the weekend is over so we can't wash any dishes. I won't be able to cook for a couple of days.
Last night I was starving after eating nothing but deviled eggs and bacon, and I went in the kitchen and saw a pop-tart on the counter. I literally stuffed like half the pop-tart in my mouth, and then told myself I couldn't eat it and spit it out. Instead, I made a snack of cheese melted over jalapenos with some sour cream, which is Atkins friendly. Today I didn't eat anything until about 3PM because I woke up late and then had to go tanning, and I usually don't eat until a little while after I wake up. The sink got plugged shortly before I left for my tanning appointment. In search of something I could eat without dirtying dishes, which is nearly impossible on Atkins, I eyed the greasy beef and bean chimichangas in the freezer, but instead made a one-skillet egg and bacon scramble using as little dishes as possible since I know we can't wash them. I was proud of myself for making an on-plan choice.
A few minutes ago, I went in the kitchen to see if my parents were home with dinner, and I was overwhelmed by all of the old foods that I would have eaten in a second...cosmic brownies, ramen, twinkies, gushers, you name it we have it. I opened a cosmic brownie and put all of it in my mouth, then spit it out. I know that spitting out food after you chew it isn't mentally healthy and you still end up eating some of it, but it's almost like I'm trying to control my binges. I really need to stop doing this. I think now that I've gotten a few tastes of sugar after having hardly any for over a week, my body is craving it. My blood sugar might also be low due to not eating very much the past couple of days so my body is trying to self medicate by craving sugar.
I'm trying really hard to control a binge. I'm drinking Crystal Light right now while I wait for dinner to get here because it tastes sweet. I've been doing so well on Atkins and I'm seeing great results and I don't want to take myself out of ketosis and mess up everything I have going. The next few days are probably going to be hard because I won't be able to cook much due to our plugged sink. I'm thinking of putting some chicken breasts in the crock pot tomorrow morning so I can eat them for lunch and dinner the next few days with some green beans and salad or something. It would require little prep and dirty dishes.
I'm sorry for the really long post and awful grammar, I'm just really stressed right now and I needed to vent my feelings.

look at all the good work you've put in so far, you don't want all that to go to waste
I wish I had your strength, why not go for a stroll round the neighborhood or read a book to take your mind off it all, I'm kinda rubbish at comming up with things so I'm sorry if I'm not much help, but I'm here if you need to talk for a while till your cravings go away
