An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...
I have been binge free for 3 days and my advice is simply talking to yourself. When i open the fridge i say out loud "Why are you here? What good are you going to do? Put it back!!"
As silly as it may sound the longer you keep trying to talk yourself out of it the easier it gets. It took me 2 hours of talking yesterday but i did it. And i had about a 40min talk with myself today!!
I now have this place to come to distract myself aswell!! So if your at the fridege or cupboard, try the talking. Or just come on here and write down whats going on. I wish you the best of luck. I'm here, we're all here if you need us.

What I've got to learn to do is STOP myself BEFORE I put that first compulsive bite into my mouth in the morning. Any idea how I can do that? (And I know if I could only "get through the first few days" I'd have the confidence to keep it up!)
i know this sounds really blunt, and i am not trying to be mean. i just feel very strongly that coming to accept that change comes from within and there is no easy fix is an important step in recovery.
