I have come to realize that I am addicted to food. I binge eat after work for a few hours. I have been researching binge eating, and I now believe that I have a problem. I am trying to figure out how to stop this. I would like to hear from anyone that has overcome binge eating. I want so badly to get control of this. Thank you for your help.

    Do you go for carbs, sugar, salty, or all of the above? What sort of diet are you following, or trying to follow?

    During my binges I will eat anything. I even sometimes eat stuff that I don't even like. I like carbs and salty foods.

    I would suggest keeping a detailed journal of what you eat and your emotional state for a few days. When you have a binge attack, you can review your record from the last few days and see if there is a trigger you can identify.
