Depends why you're binging. If you're binging because you're hungry, you need to eat more.0

Congratulations on the 36 pound loss. How I avoid binging is to not deprive myself of the things I love and just eat those in moderation and count the calories. Now if there is something that I tend to go overboard on (potato chips) I just don't keep them in the house.0

Ugh. Binging literally consumed my life for years. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Has binging always been an issue or just recently started? If it just recently started, maybe its because your calorie intake is too low, so your body gets overly hungry and then sets you up to binge. Id love you help more. Feel free to send me a message.0

Simple. Do not buy the food items you binge on. You cannot eat what you do not have.0

That's why I do Intermittent Fasting...fits my eating style...nice big piles of food twice a day...happy belly.0

Eating something high in protein in the morning really keeps the cravings down and has kept me feeling full much longer. The cravings are still my biggest enemy though0

It really depends on why you are binging. If you are doing because you are hungry, then try some of the above advice. If you are binging as a way to deal with other issues, then you need to deal head on with those emotions.0

Bottom line, find out why you're binging. That's basically the only way you'll be able to move on from it. Are you an emotional eater? Restricting yourself? Not eating enough?. When you find the reason, you will slowly stop binging.0

Mindfulness, managing cognitive distortions such as abstinence violation effects or perfectionism, practice urge surfing, use other forms of emotional self regulation... again, it matters why you binge.0

I agree with what others have said. I will add that if you are binge eating for emotional reasons, you can binge on just about anything - like veggies - not just your favorite trigger foods. If you find that you really cannot stop, even when you honestly try, then you might need a 12 step program like Alocholics Anonymous (this works for other addictions besides alcohol). It has been amazing for me and many others!! Following the simple steps honestly has dealt with the emotional reasons for why I compulsively ate, and I know what to do if I want to binge again.0
