Hello
Once I start I am unable to stop.
I can go like 2 days without eating but then all of a sudden i pound the food into me (only go days without eating after the guilt of binge eating). but on a healthier note, even when i eat regular and normal i still after work or late at night will binge eat. I don't enjoy it at all, i just can't stop when I start. I eat food i would never eat for a normal meal. I just eat whatever is there.

I have no idea how to and cannot stop myself. This past summer I lost 60 pounds and went from 230 to 170 and am obsessed with my weight and being skinnier so its all I think about. I am so tired of the guilt and depression related to my binge eating and just want to stop and eat normally.

If anyone has suggestions on how I can stop that would be great.

Sorry to hear things are bad for you at the moment. Would you consider going to see your GP to discuss these issues? What you're describing is something they could help with, even if it's just helping out with low mood. Difficult to know which came first often- binging then low mood, or low mood then binging.
I would urge you to see your GP as there are a variety of techniques to help overcome this problem. They may discuss a referal to a specialist with you.
Good luck.
