   I joined this site as a last hope. I have decided to finally kick the habit of binge eating in the ASS. I eat to feel numb. To suppress emotions. When I am bored, when I am tired. I restrict certain food groups for three or four days then inevitably binge on them. I have been treated for bulimia in the past and thought I was past it.

   I am living by myself far from home and have begun the habit of evening runs to the store to buy all the junk food I can fit in a bag, and returning to my room to eat it as fast as I can. Although I have not purged for over a year now, I am frequently binging. I am so scared of this becoming a lifelong habit. I know I am in a very dangerous place right now.

   Tomorrow, I am going to kick this habit. I have gained about 15 pounds onto my small frame in the past 5 months because of this hideous monster. I will be buying a journal tomorrow to keep track of how I feel after I eat normally and to see patterns that center around binging. When I feel sad or lonely or bored, I will journal. Anyone have any more tips? Would like to be friends throughout this journey?

   Hi foodfanatic,

   I am with you! I support you. I joined not too long. Check out some of my postings and my introduction post. These will be help be motivators for you. I think the journal is a great idea. I have used this method before and it works. This time around I am writing who I ate with and where. Was it in the car? At home? Alone? This will help. I'm also marking down when I take a vitamin. *vitamins should be taken everyday!! lol

   This is a long process, journey indeed. It will get better. I am so glad that purging episodes have ceased. I am sorry about the 15 pounds but in little time you will wittle down. Listen to music or turn the tv on. When I am alone I binge but I do better when I walk into the house and music is on or the tv. Even if your not watching it, turn it on!

   Stay strong! I'm proud of you!

   Hi again foodfanatic.
   My name's violet and I don't want to seem like a crazy stalker tha is commenting on all your posts but I feel exactly the same way ( and I'm trying to stay on the site as much as I can at the mo to stop a inge because I'm starting my seven day challenge tomorrow).
   I just wanted to tell you again that I support you and am in a similar place at the moment. I too have put on about 14 pounds in a few months and being a post anorexic this is insanely difficult.

   Please feel fre to PM me or whatever you want. If you don't want to that's fine too
