Sugar addiction and daily binging

I am very desperate to reduce my dependence on sugar. I am not overweight, but have gained 20-30 pounds over my natural weight over the past year or so and will reach an unhealthy BMI if I don't do anything soon.

For the past year it has been an irresistible compulsion to go buy sweets and eat them alone. This usually occurs daily or every other day. It is a euphoric experience, that is, until I am finished. I have thrown up a couple times because I felt so sick I didn't know what to do. I swear off doing it again until the next day when I get shaky and can' think of anything else.

I have reached out for help at my university, and while it has helped to have someone to talk to, I feel that they have only given me generic "here's how to eat healthily" information. I am a normal weight, too, so I doubt that my situation seems very dire to them. Since I am usually able to form new habits without too much trouble, I am frustrated and beyond upset with this cycle that I am in.

If you have any advice, or want to share your similar experience, I would appreciate it so much. I've been a lurker here for a long while and I love this community :)
