I have been stuck in this cycle for too long also - but one thing that is working for me is to quite the diet!!
I am focusing on haveing 3 meals and 1 snack per day and eating only whole foods!!!
I am feeling much better - I am not craving rubbish and I am not thinking about food as much!!!

Im also not focusing on some designed diet but rather on eating HEALTHY and and the way I intend to eat the rest of my life! 3/4 of my plate is fruits and veggies and a small portion of grilled or baked chicken, low sodium turkey no beef yet but when Im to my desired weight Ill add a treat of some steak maybe every 2 weeks as a treat. Im not hungry. Im losing weight. Im exercising. I have energy. Each of us have to do it our own way. For our own unique reasons. Im just stating my plan which is a lifestyle change plan. To start out with this Im eating very small portions of the foods our bodies need and looking at the overall health benefit of each food I Eat. I dont feel deprived, gross or any of that as im eating good nutritious food I feel like im PAMPERING my body! I have energy! omg at the energy! Some strict, fad diet isnt for me personally. Just eating healthy and exercising is literally melting the fat off of my body. Ive had no desire what so ever to binge. As a mattter of fact, when I think of the foods I WAS eating and how I felt eating it and the fat that accumulated on my body while I was eating it...thats when i begin to feel GROSS!

like this to. Seems like when I lose weight, i fool myself into thinking I can cheat here and there... Like today, too tired so we had Arbys... BAD.. Do not eat take out ever in my book !!! Worst thing u can do..

When it does happen, I try to pep talk myself. If I had a nickel everytime I said, now today is the day i get back on track, I'd be rich...

I can talk myself down by telling myself u know, for a few min joy, u will LOATHE urself... That works alot for me but, not all the time...
Hell, Im human... We are supposed to make mistakes.

Maybe try to write down what u are doing in the past week or so, see how u are feeling and see whats causing the binge eating???

Don't beat urself up... that helps no one, except the fast food industry...

Try snacking on frutis, vegetables and drinking more water. Sometimes when we binge, it's because we're not getting enough nutrition. Are you eating healthy foods? Remember, that processed foods and especially take out foods are designed to keep you addicted to them and wanting more and more. The food industry is in this to make money. We have to watch what we're putting into our bodies. You can basically eat all the veggies you want so try binging on those.

Dear Winesar21

I know how you feel. I was doing good on my Diet, but now I seem to messing up. I ate way too many Calories today! I seem to let People and Things and Situation get to me. Thank God, I get to try again tomorrow. I would like to lose 29 pounds. I am what you call a Emotional Eater and a Carb Addict, plus I seem to suffer from Depression because I seem to feel Unloved and Abandon. I have to do it for Me. I am glad I get a Whole New Year to Work on Me. Good luck, try again, remember it is not easy, so don't be to hard on yourself. Have a great day. Diana2 from dailystrength.com.
