Stop Binge Eating - Stop Overeating

Are you sick of your out of control eating? Do you eat in private? Do you hide food and eat it until your stomach is about to burst? Have you tried every diet out there without any lasting success? Have you lose weight only to gain it back? Are you finally wondering How to Stop Binge Eating once and for all?

Well I’m going to share with you 3 tips to quickly stop binge eating and start losing weight beginning today.

Tip 1 - Learn all you can about emotional eating.  Emotional eating is the most common cause of weight gain.  It’s characterized by eating to cope with emotions including boredom, stress, fear or sadness.  You see it in the movies all the time.  A girl’s boyfriend breaks up with her, and she’s so sad, she goes home and binges on that ice cream tub.

While it’s obvious in the movies it might not be so obvious in your life.  To stop emotional eating you must first become aware of your emotional eating triggers.

Tip 2 - Start Journaling Constantly.  I don’t mean writing “dear diary, today Mike said I was a hottie and he was checking out my butt…”, I mean journaling about your feelings, your emotions, what’s behind them, what you worry about, the real stuff.

Here is how you can start.  At the end of a stressful day sit down and think about the 3 top things on your mind, the things you worry about the most and are stressed about the most.  After listing them down start making more notes under each topic.  Decide whether it’s something you can control or not.  If you can control it come up with actions steps you can take to correct the situation.  If you can’t then decide to let it go.

Tip 3 - Exercise.  I gotta admit exercise is a pain in the butt.  Come on, I would rather sleep on my hammock all day like Fred Flinstone than go the the gym.  Or lay down on my couch in front of a TV.  However exercise has many benefits like the following…

• Stress Relief - Exercising is a great way to relief stress, if you don’t exercise you might resort to emotional eating to cope with stress
• More Productivity - Exercising will boost your productivity.  You’ll find you can do so much more during the day when you exercise
• Weight Loss - Exercise will help you lose weight and keep it off.
