I cannot stop binging, and I need help

I am about to be judged, but that is okay because I need help, and I need it now. I am at a healthy weight, and have been in maintenance mode for a couple of weeks. However, recently I have been abusing it. Last week was the beginning. Last Thursday night, I bought a package of birthday cake oreos, and ate the whole thing in less than 24 hours, along with some of another pack. I felt the effects( got sick), and said I'd never do it again. Saturday was an okay day, and Sunday was not terrible either. However... today I woke up, ate a reasonable breakfast (cereal), then ate a decent lunch (ham sandwhich), clementine, and mixed nuts. When I got home from school I decided to go on a run. I ran to the store (1 mile). I saw these Berger cookies (I LOVE them). I brought them home swearing I would only eat 2 (there are 8 in a package), and I ended up eating about 6. I threw them out after realizing what I had done, but soon found another issue. I had a whole pack of golden birthday cake oreo, and some regular ones that my parents had bought, and it was in the pantry. Something happened, and I couldn't contain myself. I ate about half of the package, and now I know something isn't right. I have never acted like this (abused food before), and I don't know the problem. I need help. I can't gain weight, and I need to stop this. Please, only kind responses! Help

Binging is binging and the only person that can control it, is you. What kind of answer are you looking for? Stop buying cookies would be a good start.0

Eat "healthy" (whatever that means to you) 80% of the time. Fit yummy, portion-controlled treats into your calorie goal. Deprivation can lead to bingeing.

Food addiction is real, even among people who appear healthy. I know where you're coming from. I recommend finding a support group like Overeaters Anonymous. They also have online chapters as well. I haven't done that myself but if I felt that I were truly spiraling out of control I would definitely go.0
