Binge Eating

I think I am the same way, even thought I found the word "binging" for the first time on this site a month ago. What helped me at the beginning -- if I have a feeling to stuff myself, I pull something healthy -- nuts, celery, gluten free muffins from the freezer, etc. I will still go over my calories on those day, but at least I knew that I am getting some benefit from what I put into my body. Later, when I totally removed all processed food from my diet, I started paying more attention to the culture of eating. Serving table for every meal helps a lot. Another surprising thing that helped me -- coincidently I was reading the book to my daughters "New Manners for New Times" by Letitia Baldriges. I took a lot from that book about culture of eating -- serving table, table manners, etc. (something that we always forget when we eat at home). I found out that it works very well for me. When I serve my meal nicely, in the nice china, on the covered table, with small portion on the plate and eat it very slowly -- I have no desire to stuff myself .Eating consciously, concentrating only on the food helps a lot. I found my triggers for binging too -- laptop, book or newspaper during meal makes me usually seat at the table forever and look for something to munch on even after the dinner. So, I totally stopped doing it and now read newspapers, book only outside the kitchen or dining room. Hope it helps! Remember, it is all in your head!
