It was nice to read your post. I feel that I am likely to have similar problems. I've only just been diagnosed but I've had problems with binging in the past. What has helped me a bit is having 'free' days. (Obviously it has not helped that much or I'd be a perfect weight by now but it has kept me on diets for longer in the past) It's just where I allow myself to have a binge day and go mad. I'm trying to eat healthily for now but if it looks like I'm going to end up going on a month long binge then instead I'm going to schedule one day a month or even a week until I'm back in control - of course it is not ideal but it is better than none stop binging on takeaways and crisps which I am quite capable of. I've never been a great fan of sweet things so the whole avoid biscuits,cakes, sweets etc... doesn't pose a problem for me but it is another story entirely when it comes to salt and Chinese takeaways. If I look like I'm not going ot be able to keep control I am also going to pay out for a continuous bg monitor because I don't think there's anything quite as sobering as seeing those results. It can be so easy to convince yourself it's not really causing damage even when you know intellectually that it is.
