I know exactly what you mean. I do the same thing. I got super skinny last summer and everyone always told me to eat. Then, I started eating a lot and they said it was ok because I needed to gain weight anyway. Now, I eat way too much and have a binging problem too like you. One time, I ate about 15 chocolate chip cookies, some with peanut butter!! I'm getting better now, but I still slip up sometimes. Like today, I already ate over my daily allowance, but it's not even dinner yet. But, we just have to keep trying because I'm getting better. Slowly but surely. And you will too! :) REMEMBER: you are stronger than temptation

It takes time to change our habits. Don't be so hard on yourself. Use this as a lesson for future times. Make sure that you are eating high nutrient foods that will help you feel fuller longer.
Some things you may want to do: 1. Focus on nutrition at each meal/snack - whole grains, fruits, veggies, low fat dairy, lean meats/nuts/beans. 2. Make sure each meal and snack is a healthy balance of protein sources (lean meats/beans/nuts and low fat dairy) and carbohydrates (fruits, veggies and whole grains). 3. Save the "junk" like fried foods and sweets like soda, pies, cakes, cookies, candy and cake for the special occasions of life. 4. Eat 6 small meals/snacks each day each consisting of 300-350 calories.
something to add: i think I also binge when I don't feel anything, because feeling angry about binging feels better than nothing.

I ate twice my reccomended calorie intake today!!! It's so hard to keep to the guidelines, I get hungry so quickly. Admittedly, I don't usually go THIS far over, but today I recorded everything, thought I did a great job, but I was over by a little. Then all hell broke lose and I ate 640 calories in cookies. I know that I shouldn't have done that, that I should've just said to myself "Ok, I'll do better tomorrow." and not have eaten anything more.
I'm an emotional eater, and when I get emotional I binge. Somethimes I binge when I'm not even aware that something is bothering me. I don't know what I need to do to make this work, well I know what I SHOULD do, but I just can't find the will-power. I can't seem to find a method that works for ME.
