Hi

Can anyone recommend a good book on compulsive eating?

I go through phases of having a problem with this and really don't know why. For example, I was on Atkins and lost weight for a couple months and then began regaining for 4 more months. I think I was eating too much legal fatty stuff (maybe out of anxiety?). Then I got exasperated and went totally off and ate everything in sight.

Then being completely disgusted with myself I tried Fat Flush after reading some of Mila's journal. I was SO hungry that I didn't even make it through the first day. I left work early to go home and eat. I seriously overate and then I was mad at myself. Even though I was stuffed, I went and bought 4 huge, gooey cinnamon buns. I ate 3 1/2 of them that night. I was so strung out on sugar that I couldn't sleep till 3 am.

But I also go through months without bingeing at all. I need to figure this out.
