Hulk...that sounds so much like me it's scary. Binging is my problem, and it has been since as long as I can remember.
The night that I decided I wanted to try Nutrisystem was a night I told my wife I felt like I had a major problem with Binge eating...what set it off was having some friends over to hang out while she was out of town. I went out, bought some chips/snacks for everyone. Once everyone was gone I realized I had an entire family size bag of doritos that were unopened. I went and grabbed them and a little while later I had eaten 1/2 - 3/4 of the bag. What I didn't finish that night was promptly finished the next day in one sitting.
I used to go to one fast food restaurant and buy a combo and then decide I wanted something like cheese fries, so then I'd drive my happy arse to a restaurant that had cheese fries and order some from there, and then eat all of it until I got sick to my stomach.
I would develop a craving for something, and rather than eat a little bit to satisfy my craving I'd consume everything I possibly could, and the entire time I'd be wondering why I didn't have enough self control to just stop.
It's funny...I feel like I can discuss those things now because I feel like I have so much more control over myself, but always going to be a struggle...probably for the rest of my life. I just hope that I've learned and prepared myself well enough over the last year to keep that self control.
Yay for PuttaDaForkDown Therapy night

I'm at the beginning of my self control struggle, but so far even when I have cheated and eaten something I shouldn't, I haven't eaten alot of it.
My urge for ice cream was so strong the other day, I ate three spoons worth and put it away. I deserve a medal.

It will.
After 3 years, I've done a LOT of introspection and self-reflection. I've realized how impulsive of a person I can be. Binge eating is a symptom of my impulsive nature. I started paying attention. Walking through the grocery store, I'll pick up things I don't need just because it looks good, or I think "this'll be good", but I won't ever use it and it'll go bad. I started noticing that. So now when I'm about to check out, I go through my basket again and 9 out of 10 times I'll find a few things that I say "when did I put this in my basket? Why did I think I need this?" and put it back.
I bought my 02 civic from a coworker on an impulse. Next day, CV axle fell out of the tranny. 3 months later, tranny died. Now, about 6-7 months later, I have a pulley that's squealing randomly and need to replace my pulleys. I was so wrapped up in my impulse to buy it, I didn't have a mechanic inspect it first. Lesson learned.
It's amazing what you can find out about yourself when you challenge yourself, be it diet or gym or both, and do a little introspection.
