A diet to control appetite and cravings

Question
I'm sure you've heard this all before.  I have been on a binge for the last month (my Grandfather is dying of Alzheimer's disease, and it's the hardest thing ever to watch...especially with my mother suffering watching him pass and everything), but I have harmed myself in the process as well - I have gained 10 pounds.  I am 5'2", and 19 years old, so 10 pounds is fairly significant (and noticeable) on my frame.  I need to get my life back on track.  How long does 10 pounds take to lose, and will I be able to break this cycle?  Does binge-gained weight typically take a longer or shorter period of time to lose than regular weight loss once the normal diet is adapted again?  The bingeing has made me feel awful, I have gone up two whole clothing sizes, and have reverted to wearing sweat-suits all of the time.  Please help me gain my body back! I was a healthy size 3, and am now a 7.  I know that is not HUGE, but I was 115 pounds and am now around 127...and very very embarassed.  Thank you so much for your help, it means more than you know.

Answer
Dear Shannon,

Did you know that there's a successful diet that helped many people in your situation? I'm talking about completely free online Banta diet that can be found at:

http://bantadiet.comYou'll find that this diet doesn't require counting calories or anything at all while decreasing appetite and cravings after just one week. It's hard to predict how long will it take to lose 10 pounds. Our dieters were losing from 0.5 to 11 pounds a week.

You'll also find tools to monitor not only your weight but fat %.

Good luck!
