    I am learning to do this the last three weeks... it's been quite a roller coaster of a journey. Things are just starting to stabilize now, I'm not gaining any more weight (I gained 15 pounds in the first week and a half of my mindful eating journey), in fact I lost about 4 pounds this week without even trying and eating all my favourite foods--just when I felt like it and not bingeing at all for 3 weeks!!!

    I have to order some of her books... thanks for posting this...

    EDITED TO ADD: I just noticed the OP has deactivated her account--this thread is 4 years old! It still rings true... glad she posted it...

    Thank you, this is great! I never really thought about a binge being about eating when you're not hungry instead of eating large amounts. I've been binging since I was about 9 years old. Loneliness is my biggest culprit. I will definitely try the 3 minute wait next time I feel the need to eat something I don't need.
