I have a compulsion to eat huge amounts in a small space of time too. It's really upsetting but I can't stop it when this strikes.

I kinda have the same problem. Due my schedule in the past, i got used to eat only once per day, but very much that one time.
I still do that. I usually eat only once per 24 hours, almost always at the same time of the day. It doesn't screw up my life in any way. To be honest, i kinda enjoy it because i got allot more time for other stuff. For example, i can be out the whole day, even 2 days at a time without being hungry at all, but when i eat, i eat allot.

Examine the reasons behind it first, what causes you to binge eat, the triggers and try to eliminate those one by one. If it is caused by worry or stress, listen to music, go running, anything you enjoy that will help you de-stress so you won't be forced to go back to that habit.

Do you normally starve yourself and then binge. Or do you binge all the time? If you're starving yourself, try eating small portions of whole grains or nuts frequently. Every 3 hours or so. Grains and nuts are healthy for you and filling. It takes longer for your body to digest than say, a candy bar. This may get you started in the right direction. Let me know if this helped or if you would like more advice?

I got over my 'binge-eating'. I became a high carb vegan and still eat a massive amount, but without the guilt or the crappy feelings, quite the opposite. It's been a while since i been on this forum, i've transformed in my thinking since i posted this.

that lifted my spirits to know things are better, and i belive a good vegan diet is the best kind, efficent digestion and a happier mind to know ur not hurting animals, would like to do it myself but dont think i have the self control... yet
