Am trying to stop binging and I am better than I have been. I tried keeping chocs\crisps\snacks etc in the house and the idea is to limit\ask myself do i really want it etc but it's not working. Have also tried having nothing in the house but then it worries me that there is nothing there and has sent me into a bigger binge.

I feel i can't win either way and was wondering if anyone is going through the same?
My goal is to have stuff in the house and not be bothered by it!

Am still trying to work out my triggers, I think its being alone and thinking know one wants me. Also wanting to change my job does not help, although I am working on that one.

i read someewhere that one way to help yourself(not sure if it works)is when u binge on anything is to immediatly go out and replace it so for example if u binged on a packet of biscuits,go out and by another pack,keep doing this until it gets boring.
i think it would work for me(although iv not tried it)
is cause whenever i binge its because sometimes im scared that if i dont eat it then,then someone else wud have eaten it b4 me,its all about controlling my life and having what i want without limits.
binges begin when u limit yourself
the less u limit,the less u binge.x

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
