    Just remember all the work you have done thus far.. a few seconds over the lips and tongue is not worth hours in the gym burning it off later... call a friend, go for a walk.. dont just sit at home.. getting bored is your enemy at this point...

    here's some ideas:
    go for walk, call a friend and chat, write a friend you haven't talked to in a little while an email just to say hello, make a fun to-do list...things you wanna do before the end of the year and then things you want to do someday, start a blog, learn something new...

    I hope you aren't starving yourself. You can always eat veggies.

    I have this problem too- especially night time- I finally CHOSE to throw out what I craved. It is hard. I tell myself that is money I am tossing out- but really it is junk that hurts myself. Try stocking up on fruits and veggies. I found a new love for fresh peaches- not sure why, I used to hate them. Maybe you need more protein in your diet and should try figuring this out by tracking your foods. If this happens to me I crave carbs more. So if I am low on protein (as much as I don't like supplements) I will drink a shake. I get rice milk(dairy doesn't always agree with me) and chocolate flavor whey/soy protein powder. Drink it up and it seriously tastes like a chocolate milk. WIsh I had more suggestions. ---oh, tv commercials can be the worst. If this is increasing your desire to eat junk, try to dvr and skip commercials, or watch movies instead, or read.---so much info out there....

    This happens to me every Saturday when my husband is working. I continuously go to the pantry and search for food, even if I'm not hungry.

    i always drink a couple glasses of water... then if i still feel hungry i know I am hungry not just thirsty. your body gives you the same signal if it is just craving water as it does when you are actually needing food

    If you eat because you're bored, then occupy your mind with something like a book or a trip somewhere....and obviously working out helps.

    1) Drink some water.
    2) Think about this: do you want to undo the hard work you've been doing?
    3) In all honesty you're the only one that can stop yourself from bingeing.
    it may be difficult at first but keep "defeating" the cycle and you will come out the Winner!
    We're here to encourage ya, but that's all we can do. =)

    This happens to me all the time, but one of the last times, I did just what you did - reached out to the awesome people here! AND by the time I got done reading all the supportive messages from them - my urge to binge had passed! We're all here for you!

    I also have binge issues. All of the ideas here are great! I've gotten the "bad" food out of the house. This helps me a lot. Just don't let the garbage food in your door. ;)
