Stop Binge Eating

<p>How to Stop Binge Eating<br>By <a href=”http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bill_Nadraszky”>Bill Nadraszky</a></p>

<p>One of the things that will drive you crazy on a diet is the opportunities to binge on sweets. I know because I am very bad with binging myself and have to build some really good coping mechanisms when I find myself gaining a bit of weight. Here is the way that I deal with sweets, something that I always like.</p>

<p>1. When you start the day, start with a good solid meal. A solid meal will consist of lots of protein and carbohydrates. By starting up your metabolism this way you will not have as much trouble with your energy and should have a better bet against urges for sugar.</p>

<p>2. Eat meals often. To avoid those drops in blood sugar and the idea of an interesting treat it is important to eat every couple or three hours. There is a lot of science behind eating often but there are a few important things about eating often and one that is critical is that when you eat often your blood sugar is consistent and you will not have that urge to eat, and hopefully avoid those sugars…</p>

<p>3. Avoid sugar, especially early in the day. after you eat sugar your blood sugar spikes up and then drops within an hour and that drop in blood sugar will make you want to snack. There is a sugar roller coaster that will go on in your body and once you recognize this you will notice your feelings and emotions are being triggered by the hype and comfort of high blood sugar and the depression and cravings that go on from low blood sugar.</p>

<p>4. Sleep enough to avoid making bad decisions. I find that it is easy to decide to eat something bad when you are tired. You are very pliable when someone offers you candy or donuts or to go for a buffet lunch. Sleep will help in a large way as well to help regulate your metabolism as you go a longer time without food.</p>

<p>5. When the urge to eat something bad strikes grab something else. I always bring lots of fruit to work and have a glass of water at my desk that I chug often during the day.</p>

<p>6. Keep a strong good attitude about your eating decisions. This kind of goes with a couple of the ones above but when you know that there are good reasons to be eating good food and avoiding bad stuff you will find that you are more inclined to make better decisions.</p>

<p>Sometimes we make mistakes, that is normal, human, and fine. Although your goal is to only eat food that is good and nourishing for you until you have complete control over your emotions with eating. By following the few tips above you should have a lot better chance against the binging issues that plague you.</p>

How to Stop Binge Eating!
By Karen Chambre

How to stop binge eating may be one of your biggest struggles. You may have developed binge eating as a way to deal with emotional stressors. After binge eating do you get disgusted with yourself and declare that you will stop, only to binge again.

Step 1 Think about it

To stop binge eating it is important to think about the way in which you eat. If you notice aspects of binging, at the time you have thoughts of binging you can begin to take steps to get in control.

Think about the significant elements of your behavior. Why do you binge? When do you binge? How large is your binge? Where do you binge? How often is your binge?

Step 2 Pause before you binge

When planning a binge or beginning to start binge eating, see if you can take a minute to pause. In that minute, notice if you can come up with a reason that you feel like binging. Possible reasons can include deprivation from treats, uncomfortable feelings or a trigger food. Other rationales can consist of a reward for working hard, a punishment for eating a food you deem illegal or eating foods that have positive childhood memories associated.

After the pause, if you need to go ahead and eat. If you stop yourself from eating, later you might rebel against yourself and binge to a greater extent.

Step 3 Figure out the emotions you are feeling.

Some people have difficulty figuring out what emotions they are feeling. You may need some practice and make guesses at what emotions are triggering binges. We suggest methods that you can use to tap into what you are feeling.

Writing without thinking is a good way. At times when you put situations on paper, the feelings jump out at you. Feelings will not go away because you wish they would. They need to diffuse in a natural way. They will lift in time.

Step 4 Find non self-destructive ways of self-soothing

The problem is that binge eating does not solve uncomfortable feelings or situations. Binging may be comforting in the short run. When the discomfort does not go away, however, you binge with feelings of disgust and self-loathing. Finding other means of self- soothing is very important. Think about how you calm yourself. What activities do you enjoy and can relieve stress

Step 5 Make your food plan reasonable

You may make a decision to be on a strict diet to lose weight. This can predominantly occur after several days of binging. If you restrict food after a while, you may feel very deprived. The urge for a treat may come over you. If you have a history of binge eating disorder, giving in to a treat may cause disappointment and self-loathing. You may feel so disgusted with yourself that you start to binge again.

How to Stop Binge Eating and Avoid Weight Gain
By Matt W Martin

If you are eating because you are bored, stressed, or depressed you are binge eating. Why should I stop binge eating? Well it can and will lead to weight gain overtime. A binge can last for as little as a few hours to days, even weeks at a time. If you maintain your current weight, you need to stop. This article will address several ways on how to stop binge eating.

The first step you should take is stop unhealthy binge eating. Eliminate unhealthy junk foods from your home. Fill your home with healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. If you must binge, eat healthy foods only to help avoid weight gain.

You should keep all foods in the kitchen and out of site. The more you see food, the more likely you are to want food. Many people binge because they are not paying attention to if they are really hungry or not. You could be watching a television program with a bag of chips in your lap. Before you know it, the whole bag is gone. Your mind was occupied by the television program. This is why it is very important to keep all your foods in the kitchen and only eat at the dinner table.

You can help stop binge eating by drinking more water throughout the day. You should drink 8-12 glasses of water each day. Drinking water will fill your stomach up and reduce hunger. Drink plenty of water between means and plenty of water before a meal. Do not think you can go drinking soda or unhealthy drinks. Drink water only.

Boredom can lead to heavy eating. If you are not doing anything and you feel the sudden urge to eat, find something to occupy your time before you actually go and eat anything. You could do exercises or play a game. I would suggest going for a walk. If you were not really hungry, the urge to eat would have disappeared.

If you are in a stressed or emotional state, find something other than eating to ease your pain. You may have to work with a counselor to identify what is actually wrong and help you cope. If you binge every time your stressed or emotional your forming a habit. Many people consciously know they are overeating but tell themselves, I’ll just stop when I am no longer stressed or emotional. This is not the right mindset to have.

People who binge often lack any self control. It is you alone that tells yourself to eat, and it is you alone who can just as easily tell yourself not to eat. You must strengthen your will power to stop binge eating. Before you eat anything ask yourself, do I really need this? Am I really hungry? Can I go without having this? Feel your body out and answer these questions. If you feel like you are going to go crazy if you do not eat something, grab an apple instead junk food. Also as long as you are chewing your mind thinks your eating. You can try chewing sugar free gum and trick your mind.

I eat healthy all day and for reasons I'm not sure of, I tend to eat too much at dinnertime. I know this is why I'm gaining weight, and it's not healthy, but I can't seem to get this under control, any suggestions? Thank you.

is someone at hour house a really good cook or something? if the food is reallly good it will be hard to stop, but if someone else tries to learn to cook, you might not be so willing to eat as much for a while until the food quality gets better, by which time you will have developed different habits.

I'm 22 and work in the bar industry, my problem is that when I'm doing a long shift at work I tend to eat lots through sheer boredom which is not helping as I am trying to shift 1/2 a stone and feel like this is ruining all my hard work at the gym. Any ideas how i can stop being so gutsy?

This is a US board we work in pounds.

Sometimes I just start eating and then can't stop.

I don't have a real answer for you. I can just say I can relate. At dinner, especially if it's something really good…I eat and eat and eat it. I can out-eat my husband! I am not proud of this by any means. But it's sooo hard to stop. I can only say to you that once I joined Curves and started working out everyday I found myself not wanting so much. I actually eat less (I think) I would eat until I literally couldn't shove anymore food in my face. I would feel so sick because I wasn't just full…I was stuffed. Seriously…after blaming the dryer for my clothes shrinking. I was a size 8, then a 10 then a 12 and now a size 12 or 13 I had to come to terms that the dryer WASN'T at fault here…lol…I joined the center and really started to just not go for seconds, I eat a salad at dinner before I eat what I cooked or drink a glass of milk before I eat, that way I don't eat as much of the other stuff. The only thing I can say is look…really look at yourself, look at an obese person walking in the mall or where ever and say..is that what I want to look like? Then, decide for yourself how you are going to put the fork down…and do it. It's not easy by no means…but it will be worth it. Good luck!

I am not even thaat hungry but once i have dinner i cant stop eating.. i dont eat really healthy during the day but not once i get home. what can i do to stop bingeing??? and what veg. foods will fill me and stop craving the breads/desserts all the time!?

I agree with the first answer to a degree.
It may just be your body craving certain nutrients which you haven't taken in. Try supplementing a multivitamin, aimed at vegetarians and see if this problem still exists. Also, you may just not being taking in your required caloric intake of the day. Another thing to think of is a major component of weightloss is exercise, diet alone won't do much of anything.

i have a big binge eating problem. i'm 5'2" and weigh 114 lbs, and i want to get back to my original weight of 108 lbs, and maybe go to 105 for confidence.

ANYONE have ANY tips on how to stop binges?

You probably have an oral fixation, or you comfort eat. To lose weight, try drinking a glass of water before you eat to make you feel more full. Chew gum, or snack on a low calorie food like rice cakes, etc. for your oral fixation. If its a comfort thing, get a cat.
