What does everyone do to stave off a binge when they feel it coming on? I binged last night. Nights are always the WORST, most vulnerable time for me.

Tried to distract myself for a while by watching TV. Turns out that does not work. Neither does playing around on the computer.

Well back from the doctors, they haven't reallygave me any constructive advice, basically they want me to weigh in at the doctors each week because I can't afford the sw classes. This is a good idea and I will do this but it doesn't really deal with what's going on in my head.
Bingo they say to use distraction techniques for example read a book, go for a walk etc but it doesn't help me, if I feel a binge coming there's not a lot I can do to stop it.
I might try eating bigger portions as long as its within sw foods so I'm fuller in the evening when my binges start.

Night are the worst for me aswell.
Sounds strange but brushing my teeth helps.
Or showering, its just delay tactics really.

You'd think they'd offer counselling or something more constructive to deal with the psychological issues around eating.
Tut... Don't think people really know what your going through unless they've been through it themselves.

I've been battling all week with the wish to binge- has been so so difficult. I haven't blown out massively or completely, just slightly off plan..For example, had 25 syns and not 15 a couple of days, and ate bigger portions of dinner (SW food though) too. Being honest, it did help doing that, going slightly off plan that is. By not going into to the kitchen and just ramming food down my throat, it helped me think and focus about what I was doing.
Even one year on I get the odd 'twinge' about wanting a cigarette, so if I'm consciously trying to give up binging then the urge to do so is going to be around for some time yet..Right now it's so much to do with will power...someone advised to to imagine how I'd feel after I binged (if I did) .. those thoughts have helped me.
Stay strong !

I could 'reply' to sooo many of all your posts on here, relate to it all it seems! I've been doing SW since May and it seemed to have completely gotten rid of my previous urges to binge. However, for the last month I have been worse than ever. I'll just feel the need to binge and then make mental lists of all the foods I want to eat and buy. Even if I have nothing in the house I'll go to the cupcake shop, then co-op and then tesco just to fulfill all my urges. I was just getting to a comfortable weight before all this started as well, feel so disgusting after but just can't seem to stop.
Sorry, never told anyone all of this before but really appreicate everyone's honesty in the this thread so thought I'd share too. Desperately need to overcome this and just don't know how! (I'll have about four days in control doing SW strictly, and then two days off again where I can easily put on half a stone in that short amount of time) Constant battle, aahhh!
