Binging

Feeling like I'm going to binge. Can someone talk to me so I don't do this?

    I try to monitor my feelings concerning binges. The swelling belly, the nausea, the sweat, and the general depression that sets in after consuming that much food. Have a serious discussion with yourself on whether it’s worth it. Be kind to yourself, though. Offer up an alternative food for yourself- even if it means forcing yourself just to eat a little bit of something else first so you don’t wander back to the bad food. Half the time, I give in for the alternative and feel better for choosing it after.

    If you do end up binging, it’s not the end of the world though. You’re still one step further than you were before you decided to change!

    When you feel like binging, its really a battle of will. Try focusing on other things - even watching TV or reading a book, cleaning - anything to take mind off food. And keep score - if you are able to defeat the binge, give yourself a little reward (non-food related of course).
