Binge Eating: My personal experience

1. First, I replaced my stress eating food from junk to healthy one's like healthy snax.

2. Then I reduced the quantity of snax and introduced fruits. 

3. After that I added vegetable juice at part of my diet ( it tastes horrible initially). This was my approach to reduce the added weight. Vegetable juice increased my metabolism. So whatever binge eating I was doing (snax and regular meals) was getting digested and was not getting stored as fat.

4. Then I slowly replaced my healthy snax with regular fruits intake during normal time. 

By far, I had made a habit of fruit and vegetable juice intake. So whenever I used to feel stress my body used to ask for healthy snax instead of junk food.

5. Slowly and gradually my gained weight also got reduced due to my change of food habits.

Current scenario is that whenever I feel stress my body doesn't expect food. I can say that confidently as recently when I was feeling stressed I gulped food (Junk food, fruits and snax) but my stress did not releived. 

So I am out of the trap of binge eating.

These all steps were of almost 1 year with each step being followed for more or less 3 months.

It takes sheer amount of commitment and dedication to follow and finish what we have started.

Yes, stress is still an issue which I am trying to progess as best as I can with help of 7cups. 

I am thankful to good listeners and peer support of members that still help me in my difficult times. 😊😊
