how to stop binge eating ???

You've just got to use self-control and stop yourself. there's no magic bullet.

I don't know how to stop from doing it but when you find out the answer let me know!

Your not alone! I find that if I've had a bad day I tend to say 'Sod it' to the rest of the week. Though hoping watching my cals on here will now help me to see each day as a fresh start instead of each week!

I avoid having my trigger items in the house. That way they aren't there to eat. IF I have something that I know will trigger eating way more than I should I only buy what is appropriate to eat, or toss out the rest right away.

Mostly I've learned that I just need to stay away from sugary items and I feel better plus I don't crave them after I'm off them for awhile.

I have the same probem I can do awesome for like 2 weeks.. then BAM!!! The binge.. and 3 days of crap food no motivation and hating myself.....

You might be restricting yourself too much throughout the day. I know if I restrict too many calories during the day, my body craves food to an uncontrollable point and I end up binge eating too... Even if I only mean to have a bite of something to satisfy a craving- it ends up as a complete binge of everything in sight...

Making my food diary public helped me to think twice about stuffing food in my face that I don't want anyone to know about. Just gotta stick to the food diary and it works. Easier said than done, I know, but "what we eat in private, we wear in public."

I have 'trigger foods' - foods that say, once I start eating them, 'it's ok. just one more cookie. you can exercise it off later. and you've been doing sooooo good.'

and then, of course, after a sugar crash, there's NO WAY i'm going exercise it off ... and i'm left hungry so I'm looking for more of the trigger type foods, and on and on it goes.

the best advice i have for you is to know your trigger foods, and avoid them entirely. I can't have baked goodies - cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc. I just can't have them in my house. I will have them when I am out and about, count them in my calories, limit myself to one serving. But I just NEVER bring them home anymore.

I like this

I eat 5 or 6 small meals all day long. This provides the same comfort of binge eating, but stretched out over time. If you plan your day of eating in advance, it's easy. Measure out a bag of nuts, carrot sticks, apple slices, granola bars, protein bars or shakes, fruit cups, etc. A nice variety is best.

If you're always eating, you always feel comforted and calm. It's the emotionally positive way to binge.

You can even do this with junk food. As long as its portioned properly, and stays within your calorie "budget", you're good to go.

It's funny -- I've lost 90 pounds in just over a year. Someone saw all the food on my desk at work and said, "If you keep eating like that, you're going to get fat!"

I got to tell her that, in reality, it was eating that way that allowed me to lose weight.

Another trick is gum. Want to taste something or eat something? Pop a stick of gum in your mouth. It will get you next to your next little meal.

Ditto with herbal teas. Zero calories, but fills you up -- and bonus, keeps you hydrated. I use Stevia as a sweetener -- zero calories, super sweet.

Another tip that might help: I put EVERYTHING that I eat into MFP. No exceptions. This often results in the following discussion in my head:

"Do you really want to have to write that one down?"

It helps if I imagine a stern family doctor having access to my diary.

Hope all of this helps. :happy:
