Binge-related weight gain

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
I DO know how you feel and I've been there myself. So, if you ever trusted anyone about this sort of thing, please, just believe me: It's not a matter of "how long" to lose weight, it's a matter of "how to live healthy".
If you consider that starting this lifestyle just two months ago (rather than binge eating and probably trying to make up for it over and over) you wouldn't be writing right now.
 
 So, starting right away (not on Monday or next month), you can begin eating the right things, NOT give up your treats and be your old self before Thanksgiving.

By the way, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I've also suffered this in my own family and I know it's terribly hard. God bless,
