The biggest thing I have done is just get the binge food out of the house. God help us all if there is chips and dip or the little chocolate cakes around. Also, I never ever EVER go food shopping while extremely hungry or depressed as I will fill my cart with food to put the emotional fire out, and non of it is healthy. Finally, if all else fails, I try to find a relatively healthy food to bing on. No one ever got obese on carrots.

Snack on vegetables and fruit. Replace carbs with protein but do not rely on starving yourself to lose weight.

I personally have binge eaten before and it was not a lovely sight. I am by no means whatsoever overweight but I love food too much and food once in a blue moon became my coping mechanism when difficult situations arose. I used exercise and relied on friends at times to not make binge eating a habit.

Often when we binge eat it is because there is something upsetting us. So we need to did different ways to cope, like talking to someone about what is going on, taking a walk to clear you mind, or doing something else that can call you down, other than eating

People sometimes binge eat because they do not have healthy coping skills for dealing with the stresses they face in their lives, which is why developing healthy coping skills can help with the binge eating. I also think it is important to look inside yourself and see why you are binge eating. What purpose does it serve? Does it help bury the pain of a past trauma? Another thing that I think it key is to talk back to the binge eating voice. For example if that unhealthy voice is telling you that eating is the only way to cope, talk back and say: " there are other ways to cope and those things can work for me".

Focus on something else that you could enjoy doing rather than just eating. Besides, you can have a better plan on your eating habits by tracking down what you've eaten at what time on a food journal. This can make you to be more aware of what you've been eating and can prevent you from binge eating.

Distracting yourself when you feel the urge to binge is the best thing. Distance yourself from binge foods, and using coping skills to distract yourself until the feeling passes.

Binge eating is often a response to intense emotional distress and pressure, so it is best to try and identify what issue is causing the desire to binge eat initially. In terms of the actual binge, try not to focus on the process and regret of it, instead focus on ways to support yourself before and after the binge. Examples of this include meal plans, exercise and drinking enough water. Try to create a schedule with these factors, so that they are easier to keep consistent. In terms of the emotional side of binge eating, come on to sites like 7 Cups! We will try out best to support you. Stay safe out there!

Hi there! I hope you are feeling well. From my perspective, I tend to eat more when I am with others or feeling stressed. I would notice that I am worrying and getting uncomfortable. So I try to think about my actions or be more aware of my desires at that time and try to restrain myself from having all the food I want to eat. The main point is try to be self-aware and slow down when eating. I hope it goes well for you! We are all rooting for youâ¤ï¸.
