Usually, when things are happy in your life, we turn to something, food, alcohol, something to get us through feeling down.
Or, simply pushing yourself to the limits for so long and wanting to follow that dream but feel rebelious because you feel that whilst others just enjoy, you push yourself.
Either way, point being the bindging is for a reason and you need to look at that before you can look at stopping it.
I am 5'7, 1251lbs probably, (Australian) 66kilos? And, I will eat KFC every saturday because let's face it you need junk food sometimes. Mainly like you I love fruit and veg so maybe start writing a food plan, get excited over what you are going to cook so that you look forward to it and don't think so much about the junk food.
You are 20 but you don't say if your restricted from what you eat either, by where and who you live with.
This could also be waying on things sweet.

Chandler's Wish,
Thanks for replying.
I should have mentioned my living situation. I'm a 20 year old student in Oregon (I'm Canadian, but immigrated to be with my husband who is 24 and a student also). We are young and money is understandabley tight, but it doesn't restrict my choices of food necessarily. My husband is very supportive of my mainly vegetarian lifestyle, but he himself enjoys indulgence here and there, which is fine for him as he is an active and generally healthy man. But a 6'2 man can eat more than a 5'7 woman without gaining (as much or any) weight. Logically I understand this. But when I'm stressed or upset or purely feeling rebellious I tend to indulge with him. Certainly I could use portion control and stiill enjoy these 'treats' with him, but I obviously haven't been following that route as of late.
I understand that there is a psychological root to this type of behaviour that I'm engaging in. Perhaps it was silly to post before getting to the bottom of WHY (..I sabbatoge my success, etc) instead of HOW (to stop, etc). but I suppose it speaks to the fear behind figuring it all out.
