> Has anyone successfully overcome binge eating disorder? I lost weight for a while when I was living alone in a place that had mice (so I didn't keep any food in the house). Now I live with my girlfriend who loves food (and she also has a problem with overeating, though I don't think her problem is as bad as mine) and who freaks out when the refrigerator starts to look empty.

Most binge eating disorders centre around a psychological cause, it's true. I'm not sure if substitution(masturbation) is a good idea either. I too have binge eating disorder and finding the root cause is the only answer. It's about stuffing down your emotions with food. find out why you are repressing and what you are repressing and you may get some relief from the eating.
Also, seeing an eating disorder psych is paramount. Most regular psychiatrists don't know how to specifically deal with eating disorders and finding one trained and with experience in the techniques to overcome this problem would be best. If you want more information about how to find an eating disorder doc, just let me know ok?
good luck
