What is a healthy way to look at binge eating?

It's definitely not something I do often, but when I do it takes an extremely hard blow to my self esteem. In the past, it would get to a point where I would consider purging myself just to know that the food I ate wasn't going to set myself back too much.
I don't know if I'm taking this dieting thing too seriously, but I would really like some feedback, please.
Thanks,
Katie

Sadly, you are taking the world "diet" itself too personal
Getting healthy isn't about depriving yourself, its about finding what works for your body and perfecting that.
You can do this! DON'T put yourself on a "diet". Instead, eat healthier and get moving!

Good luck!

Exactly! If you look at it as a diet, that's all it will ever be. If you look at it as a way to better yourself and your health, it becomes much easier.
We all have our days. Like I said, the "set back" happens when you give in and let it consume you.. in which you quit or give up. THAT'S when you'll have a set back.
Push through it hun. Lesson learned. Use this to better yourself, not hinder yourself.

i do the same sometimes as well. and i know about the blow to one's self esteem. i think it's about eating healthier-there's a point to the old saying "everything in moderation". and when you splurge, don't beat yourself up...i think it's okay to do that sometimes. remember "everything in moderation" -good luck and you can do this:)
