This is soooo me. My problem is that I snack, constantly. I do eat until I'm full at meals, but will eat when I'm not hungry all day, all evening. I now keep a huge glass of water at my right hand; instead of reaching into a bag of cookies, I pick up the glass and chug it. I also keep my hands busy, so I'm not sitting idle. I'm on the computer, doing scrapbooking, reading, going for walks, etc. It has helped sooooo much, that after 15 days of this, I almost don't notice the lack of junk food.

I also don't deprive myself completely of stuff I love, even if it's bad for me. Otherwise I would probably binge after a while too. I allow myself a bit of pop every day, and if I want a bit of dessert after supper, I will have it. Then I go for a walk to burn it off.

I hope you find someone to talk to. I have been suffering from depression myself, and have found someone (through my public health nurse) who comes to town once a week, and is free, I think. I'm going to give it a try.
