Help with Binge eating!

It could if the cause is not getting the proper micronutrients/Macronutrients.

What macros do you get from a multivitamin?

bumpy bump. I binge eat sometimes too. You have to find a way to handle your stress, and avoid your trigger foods.

This is strictly my opinion - I'm not a therapist or psychologist and do not even play one on TV.

As someone who's struggled with binge eating, I think it's very, very hard to give it up. For me, bingeing is a coping mechanism, and it makes me feel good temporarily. When I gain control of my eating, sometimes I actually feel sad that I won't have my binge sessions anymore, even though I know they're self-destructive. A couple times over the winter, after I'd started counting calories and trying to gain control over my eating again, I reverted to bingeing, and it was almost like I was defying and punishing myself. And they were really bad binges - to the point I thought I was going to do damage to my innards.

I think it's a little bit similar to a toddler giving up the pacifier and/or blankie. Bingeing is comforting. It releases endorphins; feeling full feels good, and I think sometimes our subconscious freaks out that we're taking that away from ourselves.

Acknowledging it is a good thing. Shine a light on it. Record every single last bite and calorie (I started doing this but I definitely leave my diary private - you don't need to invite anyone's opinion - it's just for you to see). When you see it in black and white, some of the power it has over you will fade. And it becomes a more tangible problem that you can solve with your conscious self, and after you see the patterns, the secrecy and shame that come along with bingeing will start to fade. This has been helping me, anyway - in the past I've never recorded my binges - just tried to shove them under the rug and start over.

I don't know if any of this rambling will be helpful to you, but I totally feel your pain. Best of luck to you.

Love this. And thanks for the permission not to open the diary. I think my binge periods which I am not in control of make me not want to open mine either. I wonder sometimes if those of us who suffer from this should "diet" by counting successful days without a binge. Honestly my eating on normal days is fantastic but I "maintain" because of binges. OP I hope you see you are worthy of a good life without this plaguing you. Somehow that switch has to turn that says you are hurting yourself not helping yourself. I don't have the answer but do believe the more simple sugar carbs we eat the worse it is. I wish you the best of luck!

Everybody looks through the fridge too much. It's hard to stop. So start here:
Drink a huge glass of milk so you are full and not tempted to do something bad.
Grab the trash bin. Throw out everything that is expired or has more than 25% fat.
Now wipe that fridge down to a bright and clean finish.
Ahhh. Serenity feeling, if you used Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day.
Head to grocery store and only use food from the outer circle. (Staples and processed foods in middle aisles are not what you need!) The only caveat being popcorn or gum, because they can be quite filling.

just exchange your bad food for good food. I like to think bite sized party appetizers and your meals should be broth, plain baked potato, fish, or something very high in fiber and low in glycemic index.

Yeah, you can go get therapy, or you can re-think your fridge. And if you are still groping for sweets and bad foods, imagine a roach or spider or animal pooh on it. Even if a roach walked over my cheezzzz burger, I would not eat it. If you find out what's really in your food, you would probably stop a lot of binging. My love for shredded cheese is over. it was an undying love, but now that I know, no more shredded cheese.
