Hi Anonymous,
As with any detrimental behavior whether it be binge eating, smoking or drinking, in order to stop, you need to recognize the problem and want to change. You have done this and are on the right track. As you say, staying on the right track of healthy eating has been a challenge.
Here is the link to a number of articles on binge eating. I read the first one and I think you might find it helpful.

I'm wondering if a support group for binge eating disorder might give you the support necessary to overcome this disorder. A counselor with expertise in eating disorders may help you find ways to cope with emotions in healthier ways than overeating.
I'm not a psychiatrist, psychologist or counselor, but food seems to be the source of comfort when you are distressed and yet it becomes the source of distress when you get in the pattern of overeating. I think the key is in finding other ways of coping with or finding comfort when you are under stress. I hope all of this can help you in some way.
