How do I stop myself from binge eating?

Binge eating is typically something done for emotional reasons. It may help to examine how eating has helped you deal with painful and difficult emotions in the past. How do you feel when you binge? How do you feel before you binge? When you know what emotions cause you to binge, and what emotions binging creates, you are then enabled to find other coping strategies that might also help address those painful emotions. Healthy coping strategies don't work as well as our maladaptive coping strategies (binging) at the beginning, but over time we get better at using them and can eventually REPLACE, not just end, the binge eating. This is hard work though, and it's likely you may need some professional support to help you get through this.

Binge eating is usually a form of emotional coping. Ask yourself what emotions / stress you are trying to cope. One practical suggestion is to drink a glass of water after you eat a portion of food. This will make your tummy full.

To stop binge eating is a long road, it's best to gradually stop step at a time, for example if you eat 5 bags of crisps (chips if your american) a day then cut down to 4, then to 3, etc etc, patience and realistic goals make a big difference.

What I do is make a certain time that you can and can't eat. Also keep snack foods out of the house or if you do have them don't take the whole bag just take a small bowl of the food out.

well try doing something that is more productive instead of eating read a book try to counter act the feeling when you want to eat.

It helps not to keep large quantities of junk food around and avoid environments that facilitate binging (this seems rather Captain Obvious, but the more conscious effort and time you exert toward binging behaviors, the more likely it is that your conscious mind will kick in and interrupt the impulsive part of your binging behavior, and the more likely you'll be able to summon the strength to overcome the urge.)

Binge eating is something almost everyone struggles with. Stress, negative feelings, and certain events can lead to binge episodes. To break the cycle, you need to know that eating excessive amouts of foods and eating in fast, uncontrolled pattern is a warning sign that your body produces to cope or to avoid facing the real problem. Therefore, if you are experiencing this, you must consider going back to the root of the real problem. You can try keeping a journal in which you write how you feel before, during and after a binge. Read what you write and try to look for warning signs, triggers, and try to take steps to avoid or stope a binge. Try reading, watching TV, going for a walk(most effective), yoga, meditation, maybe take a shower...You can always try to adopt a new mentality that is different from the "all or nothing", a mentality which allows you to be balanced and relaxed when it comes to food. There is a difference between a cupcake and a broccoli. You need both to thrive. It is up to you to know when you need to splurge and when you need to take a step and breathe. Good luck :)

To stop from doing a binge eating i think it would help if you find alternate ways to handle stress and other overwhelming feelings without using food. These may include exercising, meditating, using sensory relaxation strategies, and practicing simple breathing exercises.Eat 3 meals a day plus healthy snacks. Eating breakfast jump starts your metabolism in the morning. Follow breakfast with a balanced lunch and dinner, and healthy snacks in between. Stick to scheduled mealtimes, as skipping meals often leads to binge eating later in the day.

I find that I eat when I am stressed or bored. When I am bored it is because I just need to do something so it is helpful to find something to with your hands like twiddle a toy. When I am stressed, it is helpful to work out instead of eat.

Try to focus on another things. Try to eat slowly and healthy. Think about what would happen after the binge.
