How do you stop binging?

MePlus20

I was doing great for a while, but then went on a huge binge. I wish it were a matter of self-control because then I could just stop. But it's more than that. Maybe it would help if I could hear from a few folks what skills you use to stop yourself from binging. What tricks do you use? I am just beating myself up because my common sense says, "Just stop it, it's that simple!" and yet the more I try, the more I end up binging later on. How do I get out of this cycle? What do other people do in order to not follow through with a binge in that moment when you are in that mindset?

I wish I knew. It's not a matter of self-control - for me it's a matter of addiction. I know all the tools and all the right things to do but too many times I push those aside and eat instead. It's ridiculous. Once I'm in that mindset I'm pretty much doomed. Sorry I can't help!
