Stop Binge Eating Using this Easy Technique
Wondering if you’ll ever truly stop binge eating? Well it’s up to you. If you are serious about overcoming binging then you can get started on your pass to recovery right now 
Before I share this tip with you I would like to challenge your thinking a bit. Do you think binge eating is a disorder? I mean I’m sure you have heard the phrase Binge Eating Disorder? Well I gotta be honest with you. I don’t like that phrase.
Do you hear of smoking disorder? or watching too much tv disorder? or being a lazy bum who does nothing with their life disorder? No, but how come? None of those is any different from what they call binge eating disorder.
Binge eating isn’t really a disorder. I know when I binge eat it’s often to deal with stress, or numb out tough emotions. It’s just a form of emotional eating. Many who don’t have emotional eating issues, generally have other dirty habits to resort to.
For some it’s watching tv. For others it’s going for a smoke. And for some their whole life is just meaningless. It’s a combination of laziness, and they really aren’t going anywhere. Now how come none of these things are disorders?
To be fair, I think therapists call it binge eating disorder, because it’s out of control eating that takes over your life. I mean binge eating is disorderly when compared to normal eating. But what I wanna point out is that you shouldn’t be ashamed of your binge eating. It’s not any worse than watching mindless tv regularly, or smoking, or even drinking alcohol.
Now on to the technique that will help you with overcoming binging. GAPS. Yes it’s a simple as that create gaps. A gap is simply a break in your binge eating process or habit. Let me explain.
If you think back to your last binge eating episodes, or times you overate, you will start noticing similarites. Often something gets you to start overeating or resorting to food for comfort. It could be a stressful event, a tough emotion, an annoying person, some tough news or circumstance and so on.
To avoid binging when that trigger event happens all you gotta do is create a gap. Alright so let me walk you through this. Next time you are reaching for food ask yourself “Am I Physically Hungry, or Am I just Trying to Comfort Myself with Food?” Make it a habit to ask this question evertime you are reaching for food. This creates a gap, and if you are about to binge eat, you will catch yourself in the act, and stop.

Thanks so much for helping with tips on how to control my disorder..I will, do my best to do these steps to conquer this..I’am 51 and had this since i was 15…I have always use food as a comfort to make my situations or feelings better..I’am having a real hard time dealing with this because, i’am a worrier and stressed person that keeps my feeling bottled-up inside..Again, i will try to do things to keep my mind off of food and ask myself if i’am hungry or upset..This may help me examine my feelings and relationship with food…And for me to get to know myself better and how to deal with, my food issues..Many Thanks, Susan.
Thank you for this, I’ll take everything into account, I’m just eighteen but I’ve been overeating for about four years now, I’m not even entirely sure when it started. I’ve gone through periods of extreme dieting, in which i actually did lose weight, however I just gain it all back again later when I give into my cravings (namely chocolate in general), I know I shouldn’t take the all or nothing approach but I do. I beg my mother not to buy ice cream or chocolate or donuts, but she doesn’t understand and does anyway, and often I end up eating if not all of it, a large majority, my family doesn’t realize whats going on, they don’t notice. I eat in my room by myself all the time because I don’t want them to see how much I’m eating, so that’s the first thing I’m trying to stop, I constantly eat in front of people for everything I eat, if I know I wouldn’t want to eat as much as I do or certain things in front of them, I won’t. I’ve also gotten back into running to counteract the weight I have gained in the last few months, part of an endless cycle. Hopefully by using your tips and my own motivation I can fight this eating disorder.
