[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1060823, member: 196557"] I'm a terrible binger too - also linked to my depression - you are definitely not alone in this x I think the key to it will be controlling the depression as in our 'sane' mind we should have much more control over what we eat. I think you should speak to your GP and DSN about getting some help - now you've admitted you have a problem to us lot it should hopefully be easier for you, they will have seen similar before and will understand. It's worth checking with work as well possibly - my company has an 'Employee Assistance' program which I can have some counselling through, and I only had to wait a week for my first appointment! In the meantime, if I feel the need to binge I try to counter it with insulin as I would for a normal meal, don't punish yourself for the binge but react to it as much as you can. The DAFNE course will help you do this but it can still be hit and miss as it's difficult to judge how much to take for a ton of high sugar/fat content food (I assume you're not bingeing on healthy stuff :) ). Take care and believe you can get through this x [/QUOTE]
