I binge a lot and overeat my calories (eating around 3000 calories) every day. What to do????? I'm pretty good during the day usually, but once the evening rolls around, all bets are off :/ None of my MFP friends understand and they just tell me that I don't want this enough, but I DO and I hate myself for doing it!!!

    You need to work out triggers, and find out if you are overeating due to boredom or emotional stimuli like stress.
    It can be easier to deal with and control if you can find out what is causing it.
    Also, pausing and considering if you are actually physically hungry before eating as usually we are not when we overeat.
    I find intermittent fasting is helping me. My eating window is in the evening, and since I never struggled much in the daytime, it is manageable.

    It's a hard journey. Start small and make goals that are attainable. Eating 3000 cals a day you can't expect to go to 1500 and be ok and not feel like your starving. So try to do 2800-2900 for a week by making small changes. I must say it's awesome that you are tracking and that's part of the journey so that's a goal already :-). You can do it slow and steady wins the race.
