Can you CBT yourself?

I've posted this in weightloss too but trying here for traffic. My weight issue is entirely down to eating too much, too frequently. I can't say it's necessarily emotional, its more a habit. I binge when I'm alone at home, especially if I have an evening alone at home. I love food but know that I don't love it when I've eaten a lot already, and I certainly don't enjoy the extra weight and constant thinking about eating that my habits leave me with. I had a few CBT sessions years ago which helped immensely, and so I really think CBT is the answer for me. I don't have the resources and time to do this again though, so I'm reading and listening to podcasts which are essentially CBT based approaches. I guess I'm after any success stories people have of working through this process without a therapist. Something to give me a boost and some confidence in myself to do it Smile

Yes.
Mind over Mood is also an excellent book for this.

Ooh that looks good. Have you had success yourself with it @Isadora2007 ?
