Itโs not a fun place to be, and there are many underlying ๐ฑ๐ด๐บ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ญ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด why people binge eat. Thankfully, you donโt have to address them to address the binging behavior.โฃ

One of the fundamental realizations that you need to have to change this behavior is that ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ. Having control doesnโt mean that fighting the urge is any easier, but it does mean that you can ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ the change your behaviors and set yourself up for success.โฃ

1.) ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ, control your environment. You know what foods set you off, so donโt keep them in the house or anywhere close to where you spend your time. While some people do go to great lengths to obtain their binge foods, like driving to the store, those actions are enough to stop others from engaging in the behavior. You donโt need to waste your mental energy trying to resist your binge foods.โฃ
2.) ๐๐๐๐จ๐ง๐, set some rules for yourself. If a certain environment sets you off, then make a rule to not go into those environments. If a certain food sets you off, then make a rule to not order it when you go to eat out with friends and family. If you feel like breaking a rule in the moment, pause and take 10 minutes to journal about why you want to break the rule. The reasons are probably pretty illogical and centered around hedonism.โฃ
3.) ๐๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐, take care of yourself. Poor sleep quality and being overly restrictive about your life in general are sure-fire ways to make those voices of temptation in your head even louder.
