there is an over the counter supplement called L-glutamine that is supposed to help curb sugar cravings, and you can get it at any healthy food store like Sprouts.

do you feel hungry at all during the day? perhaps you can try to have a carnation shake in the morning. maybe a broth with a little celery or carrots for lunch, to fill your stomach.

you're gorging at night because you're starving. what about preparing a good size portion of a meal that you like, that's healthy.

like, for me, i'll make a bunch of eggplant parm, then i'll eat that for a couple of days. or a big salad. or a couple of cans of tuna, make a salad, this way when you're hungry , at least the sugar won't make your'e body and brain all wacky.

plus counseling if you're not already in, to get to the root of what's bothering you in the first place.

Hi. Eating disorders go along with depression, but, starving your body will cause depression. I understand I went through Anorexia/bulimia to full blow obesity. The thing that helped me with the binging/purging was to talk to someone I trusted, then to talk to a doctor who understood. The things that cause us stress and depression also have a way of making us neglect or punish ourselves and our bodies, sometimes subconsciously. Going without food during the day and then eating when at night when you are starving will make you feel psychically ill in the morning, because your blood sugar and brain chemistry are all effected by diet. Then it becomes a cycle of depression and more starvation/binging. It is like a "which came first the chicken or the egg" kind of thing. Talk to a friend or family member you trust, support helps to break the fear and guilt or shame, and see a doctor and a good therapist if that is an option for you. Another thing that helped me was to eat "power bars" or some small type of bar with protein in it during the day. I HATED eating, and hated myself for eating. The power bar was a first step to some kind of food that I felt I could hold down and not feel like I had to vomit. Know that you are not alone and keep posting and writing about how you are feeling. Peace to you.

This sounds like it could be the start of binge eating disorder, which you can read about over at the Eating Disorders support group. You're definitely not alone in this -- and there are ways to get better, but that mostly depends on you, your doctor, your support system, and addressing the reasons that are making you want to overeat.
