I just feel so good for quitting binge eating that I needed to write it down and share (even if no one reads it)! I've been binge eating for 16years, and was a 'secret eater' for even longer. My husband found out about it and kept putting the pressure on to stop, which just led me to becoming ever more depressed and helpless. I felt like it would be something that would break us apart, as I knew after trying everything there was no way out. I was even at the point where I thought I no longer wanted a way out. I thought I enjoyed and depended on it too much to turn away from it.
Then I read the book and haven't binged since. I realised first of all just how much was actually habit, as I binged every day but didn't get a proper urge when I attempting stopping for over a week. When I did get the urge, it almost got the better of me. I bought loads of chocolate, sat in the car and realised I didn't want it. I actually told myself I'd eat it later, but put it off so long I just ended up giving it to someone else!
Since applying Kathryn's method I've been able to establish a 'normal' approach to eating - something I never had before and never thought I would! I longed for a healthy attitude to food and I still can't believe I finally have that. I never would have believed I could eat a couple of biscuits and not only stop, but actually forget there is still a packet there!!! When I suddenly realise I've been around 'binge'' food I get such a high knowing it's not bothered me in the slightest. No anxiety, no fear. I just don't give food the time of day anymore. I hope to hear more success stories from others - good luck on your journey to normalness!

Wow, Becky, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you! Update us about your success journey, please? It's always motivating and inspiring to hear from someone who's on the right track! I really hope you continue to be binge free. I'm trying Kathryn's method as well and it's been working for over a week now so there really must be some potential in her approach! Enjoy your binge free lifeeeee!!
