Hi everyone,

I recently moved out of home and am working part-time and also studying full-time in an intensive, year-long programme at university. I now live in the central city where convenience stores are abundant. I have recently formed a bad habit where instead of doing work, I go to a nearby store to stock up on bad snack foods like muffins, potato chips, crackers, chocolate, ice cream, and proceed to watch irrelevant, uninformative, inconsequential TV shows or Youtube videos. It's been getting out of hand and I really can't go on like this but when I get 'in the zone' I can't stop myself. I just feel guilty and ashamed and disappointed in myself afterwards, but during the binge/in the act of buying the junk food, nothing rational enters my head. I have a history of binge and comfort eating but it's never been this bad, simply because I've never been so close to so much temptation. Another problem is that I am spending a lot of money on unnecessary unhealthy food, but I always somehow manage to justify/overlook that while I am buying the crap.

If anyone has any strategies or tips on how to avoid succumbing to bad food choices or breaking a binge habit, I would really appreciate you sharing with me. I am desperate to end this cycle and get back to normal. I know food should be seen as fuel but right now I'm using it to entertain myself in an otherwise stressful lifestyle...

Many thanks in advance!

I take garcinia cambogia extract 1500mg in the morning it's helps curb appetite for most of the day. Also chug a glass of water when you feel hungry then wait 15 minutes. Most of the time when we binge on junk food it's because we are dehydrated. Also try chewing peppermint sugar free gum as peppermint also suppresses appetite and chewing gum tell your mind and body that you are eating because you are chewing the gum which can also satisfy your tummy. Try not to eat after 7pm give yourself 3 hours before bedtime without eating. Eating within 3 hours before you go to bed will make your stomach store the food as fat because you're gonna be sleeping and not burning it off. Hope this helps

Identify your triggers... is it being tired? Overwhelmed? Stressed? TV? Evenings? Try having healthy snacks on hand. Watch less TV. Reward yourself with a healthy treat after so many hours of school work. Go for a power walk when feeling tired or unmotivated to do school work. Drink more water. Eat less sugar, salt, grease etc... these tend to make you crave more and more. After supper is my most difficult time. I try and stay busy, sip on tea, and save enough calories to have a healthy snack if need be.
