What to do instead of binging?

Why not make a sugar free jelly in the morning, you can binge on that

Other people have mentioned pintrest keeps their mind off food.

Reading, have a relaxing bath

I hope any of this was helpful xx

My "thing to do" when I've been bored has always been eating. I must get bored a lot... I'll go to the kitchen and just look in the cabinets and fridge again and again and eat whatever I feel like having. I've lost 30 lbs in the past 3 months, but this behavior still is something I struggle a lot with. What kinds of things do you people do to avoid binging? Especially difficult when I'm actually hungry to start, and then I don't make myself stop at the right time...

I go outside for a walk, or exercise indoors if the weather is bad. Walking outdoors is great because I can't just get off like on a treadmill -- plus I have to walk back home.

Good luck. Habits are hard to break. You might feel you need a treat. What about sugarless gum, water with lemon slices, hot tea, or a light soup?

I have the same problem, Or if I'm stressed or upset I just eat... I've found that if I'm not home alone I don't do it... I won't binge eat when my kids or husband are around, so if I know no one will be home I go window shopping or for a walk or whatever I can find to do with that free time... Last week alone I lost 4lbs just staying away from my house for the hour and a half that no one is home after I get off work... Sound silly but it works.

Jump squats....

Jumping jacks

Watch youtube "super skinny vs. super fat"

When first doing this I immersed myself in all kinds of documentaries on youtube and shows about weight loss, eating disorders and being overweight and obese. It helped me to remain focused.

Congrats on your weight loss! That's fantastic!

When you want to binge, trick your mind by doing instead of thinking. Turn up the music loud, throw on workout clothes and exercise!! Just try ten minutes and see how you feel. I guarantee you that about 90% of the time, you will keep going!!! Working out has so many amazing benefits and improves your mood greatly. As an added bonus, you will earn some more calories toward your daily goal which will allow you a little more wiggle room when dealing with emotional eating.

Go for a walk.

I normally have a piece of fruit, low cal sugar free granola bar and a bottle of water.
But if I really feel like things could get out of control, what I will do is brush my teeth and desire to eat anything after that instantly goes away. After all who wants a snack or meal that taste like colgate anyway?!

I get what this feels like, my days of boredom binging were awful too. Personally I found that the only way to avoid a pig out is to leave the house completely. I hate eating around others so I used to grab my friend and go cinema or just for a walk. The only way I got over binging was focusing on other things - work, social life, hobby etc. And I stopped obsessing over food and making diet plans. I know it's hard but it feels great to have that control back when you focus back on food. I have 'cheat days' but not binges now. Also, eat foods full of fibre and just generally healthy foods, they should help you feel more motivated to stay on track. Good luck!!

When I'm bored, I either sleep or eat, or both! As my day is pretty active, as a teacher ...I'm at work from 7am until about 4pm and don't really eat or have proper breaks... problem is when I get home I'm tired and hungry and then self control is hard. I'm trying to get a more balanced day, so I'm not so tired or hungry when I get home. Doing some physical activity seems to work...even washing up the plates, which I can do 2 or 3 times a day for the family...stops me going into 'crash' mode and consequent bingeing.
