Eating Disorder: I understand your stressful job situation. I admire your honesty of “normal tendencies to binge eat” It is Not what you eat, IT IS what is eating you! Do not be victim of stress, Be Captain of your thoughts, feelings and eating behaviors See Psychiatrist for Therapy for anxiety, tension, fear, and frustration related to your job; stress eating, medication if needed, Breathing and Music Relaxation

Several: When there is a conflict categories of options are: avoiding it, substituting, or putting it into a larger context. Not having the options around to binge eat might not be possible, having other no calorie snack substitutes are (candied rosemary, frozen grapes, others). Larger context would be to improve the job you don't seem overweight so, http://www.amazon.com/dp/0692496157/ doesn't apply.
