“I have been in recovery for binge eating for several months now, but last night I totally blew it. I was at a birthday party for a friend and I ate several pieces of cake, plus pizza and other unhealthy stuff. When I got home later I headed straight for the kitchen, and by the time it was over I had consumed so much food that I felt sick. Why did this happen to me when I was doing so well? Is there really any hope for me to truly be free of this problem?”
