Hi, binge eater in recovery here! How do y’all cope with feelings, emotions, and most importantly boredom without using food?

Hi Jet! I'm glad to hear that you're in recovery 😄

I think there are a lot of different outlets you can use for your emotions and for dealing with boredom without resorting to food. For instance, what works for me is exercising, reading, or just spending time with friends playing a board game or watching a movie. I find that these activities help me to relax and overcome my boredom and the best part is that they don't have to involve food!

Hope this helps!
