Hi Dinah,

Planning what I eat absolutely helps. I figure out all meals and snacks the day before. Pizza for dinner, means, fruit for breakfast and a veggie salad with fat free dressing for lunch.

I always have low cal and fat free food at home. Lean Cuisines are my normal dinner if my husband isn't cooking. He gets crabby that I ask him what's for dinner tomorrow, but he's used to my "obsession with food." He has no clue that I still binge/purge. He thinks that's all in the past.

He has high cholesterol so we don't have a lot of junk food in the house. I buy small bags of chips, so I eat a few ounces and not a pound in one sitting. I don't buy the giant snack pack, I mean I buy one little bag at a time. The chips are calculated in my meal plan as a snack or with a sandwich (no mayo or cheese, thank you.)

Controlling my eating is easier than controlling the emotions that trigger the binging/purging. Therapy is tough right now, lots of digging into childhood pain. I'm trying hard to avoid my favorite binge foods. I made it through Thanksgiving without eating an entire pie, not that I've ever done that... :-(

I think my menu planning is like Weight Watchers without calculating points. I can't gain weight or it triggers a binge/purge frenzy. It works for me, if you try it I hope it works for you.
