An alcoholic who goes on a binge for one night doesn't suddenly lose
his job, beat his wife, etc. (obviously these are possibilities, but
I'm making a point)

It takes several of these incidents and a continued trend to actually
be "off the wagon."

The same applies to binge eating. If you eat too much one day, just
get right back at it the next day, and COMPLETELY IGNORE what you did
yesterday. Otherwise, you'll either make yourself depressed and
spiral into overeating, or you'll freak yourself out and undereat,
making an overeating episode more likely.


How do you keep going when seems like too big a hill to climb ?


By going. There's no magic to it. Put your nose to the ground and
keep going. What you ate yesterday or yesteryear has absolutely no
reason to influence what you eat today.
