    For every bite you take, give yourself a reason that food is terrible for you.

    Subtracting the same amount should cure the addition.

    Oh *kitten*.. I didnt know it was that bad. I'm sorry. How many calories are you eating? Should be like 400/day right? As long as you dont go over 400/day you'll be fine Charlie.

    How much over do you usually go?

    dont talk about Reese's cups.. holy crap those are the temptation circles incarnate. I get such a craving for them, not any little craving either, no its the "I want the BIG CUP ONE" kind of craving. Sometimes I'll melt a bunch of Reese's minis and scoop them in a spoon from my coffee mug. It gets ugly when I go on a Reese's binge.

    2000, maybe 2500. oh the shame of it. Sometimes, sometimes, I go into the corner and hide from the world.

    Eat naked.

    & in front of a mirror. I should try this. I would gross myself out to the point where I would no longer be hungry. Good idea.

    Chistopher Fairburn's Overcoming Binge Eating.... I need to put this book on a signature line.

    Chris's book is more science and plan based. I also found Anita Johnson's Eating in the Light of the Moon helpful on a spiritual level. I would say that book is more woman-nre age oriented.

    Uh, no! Don't do this! You don't want to create an unhealthy or shaming relationship with food. My suggestion, is if you are really struggling with binge type eating, you should seek professional help and talk to someone about it. If you can't see a professional, there are many support groups that don't cost any money in most communities and you should google search them.

    Log it BEFORE you eat it!

    I agree with this. I try to plan my meals ahead of time as much as possible, then stick to what I log. If I can't plan ahead of time, I log immediately afterward. Definitely use your food diary because it is a sense of accountability and when I've had a bad day (like yesterday) I do NOT like to see the junk I have to log in the diary. So that gives me more motivation for the next day. When you feel hungry, try to drink a big glass of water first! I try to have the mentality that drinking lots of water is flushing my system of all the bad stuff I've put in it. I also try to think that everything I eat should have a purpose (and if it's full of fat and calories, I think - I have no reason to eat that!). I do think it's true you feel better mentally and physically when you eat better. It's definitely tough at first, but after you get used to eating the healthier choices, THOSE are the things you will crave instead of the bad foods. I know that I can feel much fuller - longer with many healthy choices, than I would with fast food or something. I felt I had an addiction to food for a very long time until just recently and now after working toward a goal for only 3 1/2 weeks so far, I already feel like my mindset is changing for life with the way I look at food. I've had slipups and I think everyone will, but jump back on the next day instead of giving up!! :)

    Well sure - as a snack they are awesome! But who wants to wait around for them to kick in. We need instant results here.
