    Work out why you binge. If it's emotional, deal with whatever brings it on. If that means counselling, go get it. If it's boredom try a new hobby. At the end of the day it all boils down to a simple choice, do you put it in your mouth or don't you. Only one person can really help you here and that's you :flowerforyou:

    Water!!! I get the same way where my brain just gets hooked on one thing and won't stop. Today it was taco bell. I drank a big glass of water and had a hot dog and chips instead. Still not a super healthy choice but it was also 300 cals vs who knows what if I would have went to Taco Bell! Try to redirect your brain, if you can. I know it's hard though. Maybe put on a different music station than you normally listen to, something that just changes thinking even if its short term

    this!

    bingeing is usually either your bodys response to too large a deficit, or you're eating your feelings. both of which can be solved.
