    Some people have cravings for carbohydrates because they are not getting enough sleep. Perhaps you need more sleep.

    Yes, if I don't get enough exercise, I don't sleep well, and then I don't feel like exercising and want carbs. It's a viscous cycle.

    Last night, first the thunder, then my neighbors, then the trash truck woke me up, but I forced myself to get a little exercise at lunch and will force myself to exercise a little more after work, and am making sure I eat enough protein in relationship to carbs today.

    "What if just by making one change in your habits, you could double your weight loss? It may sound too good to be true, but many experts say that the simple act of keeping a food diary can encourage you to eat fewer calories -- and thus lose weight.

    ...keeping a food diary instantly increases your awareness of what, how much, and why you are eating. This helps you cut down on mindless munching, says Megrette Fletcher, MEd, RD, executive director of The Center for Mindful Eating.

    Food diaries also help people identify areas where they can make changes that will help them lose weight, says Victoria Catenacci, MD, assistant professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. For example, she says, "people don’t realize how many calories they are obtaining from caloric beverages and snacks, and these can be easy interventions … that can help reduce calories."

    Sherrie Delinsky, PhD, a staff psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, says food diaries can unveil patterns of overeating. They can also reveal identify triggers to avoid, such as not eating enough throughout the day and then overeating at night, or overeating when drinking alcohol.

    For some people, the very fact that they have to record every bite helps deter overeating, Delinsky says. Her clients "often reconsider eating something because of not wanting to write it down," she says.

    Awareness is very helpful to weight loss and logging your food is critical to awareness :)

    It may feel time consuming in the beginning, but once you've logged your foods once they are in there in Frequent and Recent.

    How many threads will you start with this?

    When she gets a sensible answer to her question.

    It seems more like "when she hears what she wants to hear", regardless of how true it may or may not be. She's been provided with a lot of sensible advice, yet she keeps self-pitying and doesn't tell us she has any intention of applying it. There is no one single answer to binge eating, but there is a number of things she could try, which have been suggested.

    Nearly everybody you see post thread after thread on the same topic have the same frame of mind: they merely are looking for comfort in like minded people, not in actual advice, or information. I've yet to come across many people who are truly looking for information and are incredibly open minded, yet post numerous threads on the same topic.
