How do you avoid a binge????

I keep "trigger foods" out of my kitchen completely. If I have junk available in front of me, I'm likely to eat it. If I have to get up and go somewhere to get something that I'm craving (I don't have a car), then I probably won't walk all the way to the grocery store and buy it.

Do a pantry cleanse and throw away (or give away) the items that will trigger a binge. I know that you spent your hard earned money on it, but it can be a cleansing feeling to start over in your kitchen. I also put the nutrition facts facing toward me for food on the shelves.

After about 3 weeks of healthy eating and good habits, you get into a rhythm and are less likely to go back to your bad habits if you keep them away from you. Also think about how you felt physically and emotionally after your last binge. I doubt it was a positive feeling. Try to relive those feelings to discourage yourself from overeating.
