Here's another "resist the urge to binge" tip that works for me.

If I feel an urge to eat and I'm not really hungry, I remember H.A.L.T.

Four emotions account for a majority of emotional overeating:

Hurt,
Angry,
Lonely
or
Tired.

If you are feeling anything other than hunger, food won't fix it. Ask yourself what will really make you feel better and then do that.
