So You Think You Have a Binge Eating Problem…
Everyone thinks they have a bingeing problem and they really have a restricting problem. The number one reason people binge is they are restricting at some point. So in order to stop binging, you have to stop restricting.
Here are a couple other tips to stop binge eating…
- Avoid going long periods of time without eating. When you go long periods of time without eating you get too hungry. Then when you start eating you eating really fast and usually end up too full.
- Eat more earlier in the day. I see this wayyyyy too often. People not eating enough during the day trying to save up for dinner. This is a pretty sure way to feel out of control at night with food. Try to eat large enough meals at breakfast and lunch and include an afternoon snack. This way you’re not too hungry going into your last meal.

Before using fitness devices and apps, ask yourself whether your motive is related to body dissatisfaction or health. Being self-aware of your feelings can help you recognize if using a health tracker is impacting you in a positive or negative way. If you notice that you are obsessed with tracking and it is interfering with your life, you may want to listen to your body instead. Your body has the ability to tell you what foods and movements feel right for you. When you implement mindful eating and movement, these parts of your life become much more flexible and enjoyable.
