I do good during the day but every night usually after I have laid down I am overcome by this uncontrolable urge to chow down. And I'm not talking a little bowl of cereal, I mean half a pound of cheese, a box of triscuits, and four ice cream sandwiches. Obviously, it has become a major problem. Does anyone else experience this and if so, how do you combat it?

Thats what I always ask myself. Is this food worth not waking up tomorrow a little thinner?
Do you go to sleep around the same time every night?
If so just tell yourself im not going to eat because at 10:30 I will be going bed.
No better way to beat late night binges than to just go to sleep.
Trust me if your asleep you wont eat.
A suggestion for any time you have the urge to binge eat--first say, okay I'm going to do this, but I'm going to stop every 5 minutes and wait 15 minutes before I start eating again.
I'll bet you won't go as overboard as before. By slowing down your eating (binge or not), you're paying attention to what's happening, you'll probably notice you're feeling fuller sooner, and you'll stop before you've gone totally overboard.
A lot of out-of-control eating happens because we're just not noticing what's happening--you might feel so panicked that you're slipping on your diet that you can"t get that "bad" food in soon enough, and before you know it, the entire box/bag is gone. Then you notice what you did and you're left feeling awful and defeated.
Then of course you resolve to starve yourself the next day to make up for it and the cycle begins again.
Hope it helps!
