My name is Monica. I am working on losing at least 30 pounds. I have a problem with binge eating. Any secrets to preventing binge eating?

    Welcome.

    We are happy to have you join.

    Binging is really tough. I try to keep good healthy snacks around.
    Cheese, fruit, veggies, nuts and lots of water.
    I find if I want to eat something if i drink a glass of water it sometimes helps.

    This is a life change. You will learn to change your self. Just make sure you log all the food you eat on your food log. It will make a big difference.

    Good luck.

    Drink LOTS of water to keep your body hydrated! That always helps me keep from overeating.

    Welcome. . .

    and here's my favorite binge eating trick.

    Buy yourself a notebook. Whenever you feel a binge coming on, sit down and write three pages in it. (whatever pops into your head. . .you don't even need to read it afterwards.)

    Often, binges are brought on by an inability to express feelings. This helps you to get in touch with them.

    This has been most helpful to me. I'm on my third notebook now.
