Can I ask what you mean by binging? Are you completely disallowing yourself from eating biscuits at your lower calorie goal?

Plan your meals out the day before and always throw in something you like. It seems like a lot of hassle, but it's 100% more effective for me that way.
Try writing down all of the low calorie foods that you like, and buying as many of them as possible.
Write down how you feel after you binge... put it on the fridge so every time you want to binge, you will see how it is going to make you feel when you're done.
Another thing that helped me is working off all of the calories that I ate when I binged... When you have to work out over an hour to burn off calories that you ate in less than a minute, after about the second or third time, you will automatically think "so not worth it!" when you want to binge.. lol

I don't normally keep stuff like biscuits cake chocolate in house I lost a lot of weight and at Christmas decided to let my sen eat what I liked which was fine then after Christmas I set my calories low to 1200 -1300 cal's and do my normal workouts kettlebell s and then yesterday had tiny piece of cake before I knew it ate cholates the lot was toatally discusted after no I don't normally eat them has don't buy them

Are you eating some of your exercise calories back? If not, your are hungry and hungry gets some into trouble with bingeing.

That's what I do work out then go on low calories again today was set fir workout but they upset I'm doing it tomorrow I've set my calories up to 1400 so can add better food in has kettlebell s is quiet a hard workout altho don't feel like eating today but I have definitely don't want it happening again

Yes I been eating some back I think the problem is I should be on more calories I'm under 8 stone but wanted to eat cleaner after Christmas after eating what I wanted chocolate cake biscuits I think that what set it off I was planning going out having meal or takeaway has treat in February for eating better but totally wasn't normal what did yesterday felt ashamed

queenliz99

Eating cleaner gets people in trouble and gives them thoughts of guilt regarding food. Eating cleaner has nothing to do with losing weight. Feeling ashamed of eating is concerning.

debbieedson

It was the eating all at once that I was ashamed at I just don't eat like that and God knows how much calories I ate I wanted to stay away from chocolate biscuits I normally do have done for long time I eat them has desert when go out or has treat at sensible serving I think it's eating over Christmas what set it off

Pre log your calories and leave enough room for treats at the end of the day.

I will do I've put them up to 1400 and the Christmas cake gone won't be buying any more going to stock up on fruit and yogurt I like instead and had chocolate bar now and again back in to my diet see if that helps and try not to obsess about calories and that some food's are bad going to just try eat evened food and try give me some more calories I workout often it probably do me more good anything better then repeat binge eating

That's the spirit.
