    I'm a huge boredom eater! If you're not at work and at home and get bored hunger take a nap! I did this today and slept for 3 hours and saved myself from eating! So needed! Also, If you're at work don't bring any money, so you have no choice but to not eat anything!

    I used to binge eat. I had a horrible time saying no to food and I would always feel incredibly guilty about it. What has been working for me is planning. Planning what I eat on a daily basis and exactly WHEN I'm going to eat. By having a set schedule of what and when I'm going to eat next (I plan out all my meals and snacks for the week) and imputing that into my calender on my phone, I have had no desire to binge eat. I know when my next meal or snack is going to be and that has made all the difference!!

    Hi.... I am finding changing my routine is helping....I usually sat from 1.30 till 3.30 "resting for the afternoon in front of TV.... I was resting but my cravings weren't. I now am trying to be busy over that period of the day....sewing, cleaning, studying and find that my mind doesn't dwell on whats in my fridge..... also I have fruit all over the place as a first line in defence. It is helping

    stop it.


    LOL :laugh:

    Seriously though... My best advice, control yourself. You have to learn self-control. Find something that isn't eating to do every time you feel that urge. It will be hard at first, but you will overcome it.

    I have the exact same problem. I am a boredom, stress, happy, sad, sick, you name it eater. Then I feel so bad after I binge that I eat again. Self control? I have none.

    I drink nothing but water and coffee w/ sweet-n-low (and only when I wake up for the day). I used to drink alot of sweet tea but I have cut that completely-2 weeks and counting.

    I don't understand moderation. I try to have just a piece of dark chocolate or an individual serving of something and it just isn't enough and before I know it I have consumed the entire bar, bag, container, etc...

    I am currently on anti-depressants and I swear they make me want to eat more.
    I need support.
