Leigh, already lots of good advice here and not much more I can add, but wanted to offer support! Yes I sure know the binge urge! Perhaps you can give us more details.

For example:
- what are some of your favorite LC foods?
- when you binge, what are the specific sorts of foods you tend to binge on?
- do you have good control over the foods in your environment, or must you share your home with others who want their carby foods?

Knowing this could make our suggestions more pertinent. Don't worry too much about lack of energy right now. As you lose some weight and eat better the energy will come. As one former LC friend once put it (we have since lost touch but at the time she had gone from 330 to 160 and maintained for several years): "I lost the first 100 pounds with no more exercise than walking back and forth to the fridge."

We're all in this together so come here often!

EDIT: Hmm. I only noticed that the last couple posts were from today, so didn't realize the original was from September. Sadly I guess Leigh is not sticking around with us. I'll leave my advice. Others may read this thread. Best of luck to Leigh.
