Stop Binge Eating With Thoughts of Victory
How to Stop Binge Eating With Thoughts of Victory
By Kristin Gerstley
All people that suffer from binge eating disorder know about that little negative voice that plays inside of your head. It’s the one that urges you to binge eat and makes you feel bad about yourself. It’s the voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough to stop binge eating, that you will never have a healthy relationship with food, and that you don’t have what it takes to overcome binge eating disorder. It’s important that you learn to tune out this negative voice because it will constantly keep you away from your goal of ending binge eating disorder. Instead, you need to listen to the voice of victory.
This voice is the one that tells you that you are capable of ending the struggles with binge eating disorder. It tells you to live your life to the fullest, instead of only enduring it. When you tune into the voice of victory, you will teach yourself to turn all negative thoughts into positive ones. This voice will motivate you to keep on keeping on, even when the times get tough and you feel like you are sinking further and further into binge eating disorder.
In order to train yourself to hear the voice of victory over binge eating, you must guard your thoughts carefully. You have to hear the things that are positive and will help you and shut out the thoughts that won’t. You have to believe that your life will get better and better when you don’t binge eat. You have to know that you can surpass all of the negative that happened in your past because this eating disorder. You have to turn off the negative noise you have been hearing for so long because it is not helping you. So often it seems easier to play the role of victim and get wrapped up in all the negativity because it feels good at the time. But, when you get involved with negative thoughts, it will only push you further away from what you want. Just remind yourself that negative thoughts will only keep you down and prevent you from rising to a bigger and better life.
It is not possible to live a positive, binge-free life when you have negative thoughts that tell you otherwise. It just won’t work; there will always be a battle going on inside your mind. However, when you keep your mind filled with good thoughts, you are creating a place where there is no room for negative ones to dwell in. Start expecting a better life without binge eating disorder in it. Learn to retrain yourself to only tune in and listen to positive, victorious thoughts that will help you instead of hurt you. Encourage and support yourself in becoming binge-free by dismissing any negative thoughts that try to hold you back. Temporary setbacks may come and go, but don’t let those hold you down. Pick yourself up and take control over your life, your thoughts, and overcoming binge eating disorder!

Stop Binge Eating Today
Don’t Wait to Stop Binge Eating
By Kristin Gerstley
Throughout life, we can be easily motivated to do something when it is fun and exciting. When other tasks seem to be more fearful, we aren’t so motivated to jump on it. Instead, we take our time and look to the other things that need to be taken care of immediately. In other words, we procrastinate.
Take a look at your life and see what things you have repeatedly procrastinated on accomplishing and think about what you are waiting for to stop binge eating disorder.
Does ending binge eating disorder just seem too hard?
Do you feel too overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start since you’ve binged for so long?
Do you feel like you don’t have what it takes to be successful at overcoming the urges to binge eat?
Are you scared because you don’t feel strong enough to end binge eating disorder?
Do you wonder what your life will be like when you don’t binge? What will you do instead of binge eating?
Procrastination on some things is fine. When it comes to other, more important things, like binge eating, it’s not so fine. It’s your health we are talking about. It’s being able to play with your children. It’s giving yourself completely to your husband or wife because you feel good enough inside. It’s loving yourself. It’s being able to travel. It’s going to dinner with friends. It’s SO much more than an eating disorder… and it’s taking away your whole life.
Do the following things to help yourself be proactive against binge eating disorder:
Make a list of everything you want to do or wish you would do but don’t because of binge eating disorder. Write down the small things that really don’t matter, and be sure to capture the bigger ones that do. You know, the ones that are making you sit back and not have control over your own life.
When you are done, take a long, hard look at your list and see how your life is 100% affected by binge eating disorder.
Now, make another list.
On this list, let’s pretend that you don’t have binge eating disorder. Let’s say that you have a week off from work and you can do whatever it is that you want. You don’t have to worry about making sure your kids did their homework. You don’t have to worry about paying bills. You don’t even have to worry about having dinner on the table. Your biggest “worry” is how you will spend the next 7-days.
What will you do? How will you spend these days?
Now, for the biggest question there is… Why are you letting binge eating disorder hold you back?
I understand that there are many factors that can get in our way and cause stress and frustration. I get that it’s not as easy as being on a vacation for a week… but, don’t you think that you should allow yourself the freedom to do the activities you want to do? Don’t you think it’s time to stop letting binge eating disorder control you? Don’t you want to enjoy life?
When you come to realize and accept that binge eating disorder is not going to control you anymore, you will start branching out more. You will find yourself saying “yes” to invitations. When you start to do new things, you will develop a new confidence. You will start pushing binge eating disorder to the back of your mind, instead of always being at the forefront. You will realize that you have the courage to stop this ongoing and exhausting battle with binge eating disorder.
It’s all up to you.
What are you going to decide to do with your life?

How to Stop Binge Eating?
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.
