Dear hiimmike:

I have experience with binge eating. I found out from my experience that binge eating is on the other side of restricting. You restrict long enough- you binge. I think there are research results showing that a lot of the time bingeing is the result of dieting.

So less restricting, less motivation to binge.

Otherwise, relaxation exercises, such as meditation can help as well as structuring your life so it is congruent with a calmer state of mind
