Hi there, If your binges are stress related - you say you've read books about emotional eating - you may need to identify some stress relievers that aren't food. Or if they are food, they need to be non-trigger foods. It's not easy I know, but listening to soothing music might help, or doing some kind of craft like knitting or painting. And going for a short walk if that's something you can do where you live.
I have found that low carb eating really dampens the urge to overeat but that just one carby treat unleashes the desire for more. I eat 95% black chocolate (2 squares sometimes, sometimes 1) after dinner when I really want something sweet (though it isn't that sweet, and that's what so great about it).
I really hope you can stick with it this time. It is so worth it. YOU are so worth it.
Good luck!
