I am re-reading a book called Overcoming Overeating by Jane R. Hirschmann and Carol H. Munter. The author states of giving up"dieting" and losing weight natural to cure compulsive eating. To eat mindful and listen to your stomach cue on choosing food choices. The author states in time, to cure compulsive behavior when you give up dieting, scale and making peace with food.
This is the method I will approach.
