YMMV, but it helps me to think of the urges as coming from something else inside me, like a separate entity. I find it easier to say no to that than to myself.
I read a book that called it the Pig, but since I was watching Dexter at the time I went with the Fat Passenger.
Read Never Binge Again. The Kindle book is free, and it's a short read. (Writing is not great, and a bit gimmicky, but the psychological tools work.)
​
You're not addicted to food. You're addicted to the PLEASURE you get from eating. Your eating more than enough calories.
​
Your brain stem (prehistoric brain, lizard brain) only understands pain & pleasure, kill, mate & eat desires. If you could press a button and trigger your pleasure center, your lizard brain would make you press that button until you died of starvation.
​
You need to learn how to ignore those impulses from your prehistoric brain, and let your reasoning brain, which cares about long term goals (like not getting diabetes or having a heart attack), take over and GOVERN that lizard part of your brain.
​
I haven't binged in 6 weeks (not a long time, I know) since reading the book, and I used to binge EVERY NIGHT for the last... 30 years or so.
​
Read the book and start counting calories. Download MyNetDiary and start counting everything.
​
And here are two other books if you don't like that one.
The Hungry Brain
Brain Over Binge (podcast and ebook too)
Just keep working on it. It gets easier.
I read this yesterday, and while I wish I didn't, I see a lot of myself in it. You may want to give it a read and see if it could help you. The kindle version is free: Never Binge Again(tm): Reprogram Yourself to Think Like a Permanently Thin Person. Stop Overeating and Binge Eating and Stick to the Food Plan of Your Choice! https://www.amazon.com/dp/151516294X
You do have control, you just need to be reminded. Make a decision and stick to it.
I've been reading this book (free ebook) and have been finding it very useful for taking back control of my eating: https://www.amazon.com/Never-Binge-Again-Permanently-Overeating/dp/151516294X
I've always struggled with weekends too. The weekend overeating gets so sickening, doesn't it? Monday can be so disappointing. The thing that has helped me is that I finally got sick of my own behavior enough to do something about it. I had to really grasp the fact that everything I eat has a consequence. Every little thing. Either it will get me closer to my goal or further away. Having this awareness has helped a lot but that doesn't mean I still don't make choices that take me further from my goals. It happens and probably more than I'd really like - but the most important thing is that awareness has decreased the poor choices. Every little bit helps! Good luck to you. If I had one suggestion I would point you in the direction of Never Binge Again by Glen Livingston. The Kindle edition is free! That book shifted my perspective and helped me a lot. It really could be called, Never Overeat Again, because it's not just for binging.
Get this book. Read it cover to cover. I have a serious problem with what I call a slippery slope. It always starts just like you described with just one bite that snowballs into regaining weight until I can knock some sense into myself. This book is the only thing that has helped. I've read it 3 times since November. Plus it's got a nice sarcastic tone that I like.
