If you're asking me, I haven't overcome it. However, I'm better. I still overeat, but not every day, and I haven't binged in over a year.
I work the steps, especially the first 3. I pray a lot - along the lines of Anne Lamott's Help, Thanks, Wow. I say "help" a lot! When I notice that I've gotten over an obstacle without overeating, I say "thanks." Haven't gotten to the point of "wow" yet. Hopefully, that will come.
I absolutely hate it when I get that horrible, almost irresistible urge to eat something I shouldn't. It's hard work. But if I do the work, it's worth it. If I don't, I screw up again.
