Thank you for this list, I will save it for when I feel the urge. And thank you for your post today. I've been a binge eater for years. It's so hard to fight it sometimes. I go in and out, the same as you. Sometimes I'm ok, other times I can binge for weeks. I also lost my mom (7 years ago March 17th). I can relate to much of what you're feeling. Thank you for helping me realize I'm not alone, and know that you're not either. Take care.
