Need to be held accountable for binge eating

Rosie943

I eat really healthy, and I love good organic, natural food, but I have struggled with binge eating for a few years now. I managed to lose 25 lbs last spring with MFP and maintain it for 6 months, but due to my aweful habits of emoational eating, I gained back 15 lbs. I would like to lose 5 to 10 lbs, but what is most important to me is to overcome the bingeing habit. I need somebody to hold me accountable, and motivate me. Somebody to celebrate the small victories with. Are you in?

I can be the same way! Late night bored binging. Don't why I do it at times .

Hold yourself accountable, it's the only way you'll have long term success. Find a new comfort food perhaps, my go to is coffee. The way I take it now is only about 40 calories

I eat when I'm stressed or anxious! Help!!

I have zero will power. What I'll do is explain to myself why I deserve this fattening food, lol. Or I'll reason that it's not that bad and just one is ok.

when you feel urges to eat, do the following
- Ask yourself, am I really hungry? if yes eat something nice and healthy
- drink some water/chew gum/busy yourself if not
- remind yourself that the reason youre eating is because of stress, and not that you need it

Yeah I eat when I'm stressed or anxious as well, which is more than I'd like.. But I find when I'm successful is when I eat mindfully, without distractions. I like coffee too, but I don't want it to become a crutch, because it's not necessarily a healthy habit. I try to drink lots of water before, if I know it's gonna happen. And I've learned to keep my fridge stocked with only clean fresh foods, that aren't packaged processed or sugary or tempting. That way if I binge, it's on something healthy.. But still the way I do it, and the mindset is anything but healthy.
