I suspect that doing the walking challenge every day helped me shift my thinking finally about the binge eating. If I can stay on track with exercise for 9 days, I can stay on track without binge eating for at least 9 days.

Before I would exercise 3-4 days in the row and then take a break for two-three days and just lay on the couch watching TV. Or eat well during the week only to overeat on weekends.

The last binge was last night on fruit and whole wheat bread. I ate tons of cherries and pears, three slices of bread and some watermelon. A lot. It's possible to binge on healthy foods as you said Debbie.

My thinking was that it's just water, the fruit, and there is nothing wrong with eating cherries.. but the quantity was too much and at the end I did not even feel the taste of pears and watermelon. It was mostly automatic.

This morning I fought a thought about skipping eating for the whole day altogether and had a normal breakfast. I am still hurting from the last night binge.

I think I will resurrect Matt's thread on night time eating. He struggled with binge eating big time and there were some good ideas in the thread.
