First of Claire I just want to say well done for posting!
It was obviously hard for you but it's a great step in the right direction so good on you :)
I agree with Aimee and Leigh really and what Leigh said about distracting yourself after eating is what I was going to suggest. Eating more slow relesing carbs throught the day could be helpful as they will stabilise your blood sugar and keep you fuller throughout the day. If you're eating foods like crisps or chocolates then they will only make you feel full for a short while before your blood sugar crashes and you start to feel hungry again. Protein is also good for making you feel less hungry.
Can you identify any emotions that make you likely more likely to binge or restrict? A common one that makes me want to eat a lot of junk is plain boredom and you said you were signed of sick so if you find you haven't got much to do maybe try and plan to do something fun or exciting in your day, something you haven't done before. Maybe you could meet a friend after breakfast and do something non food related because getting out of the house is especially beneficial to raise your mood during these dark days,
Kiran
