Binger?!

Ok so I have thought a lot about my eating habits in the last little bit as I read other blogs. One blogger described that she didn't realize she was a binge eater until she had lost a significant amount of weight and "caught" herself eating an entire sleeve of cookies on a rainy Saturday afternoon. As I read that, I realized that it was ME. I am so good with my eating through the week--healthiest breakfasts and lunches at work, HANDS DOWN! However come the weekend, all I want is cookies for breakfast, which means 1/2 a package, a whole container of Ben & Jerry's for lunch, 1/2 a veggie platter for supper with a whack of cheese. WHY? Partly I think it's because I miss my husband so much on the weekends when there is no work/routine to structure my day, so I eat to fill this void. How do I avoid this? I know if I get out the house with the kids, that helps, but I want to stay home and enjoy the time with my kids. How do I stop feeding myself so that I don't feel? A food journal? Thoughts...I'm really open to suggestions.

oh lord I wish I knew.
I'm without Corey for 3 weeks now, and still 2 weeks to go. I'm NOT a strong person... especially planning the wedding and stuff and not being with him is terrible.
I find though that my best days are when I"m busy... maybe do a puzzle with the kids? Color with them? Anything that doesn't involve TV will do it for me (las tnight watching Last Crusade I gorged on corn puffs.. yech). I wish you and me luck!!
