sometimes it can be helpful to drink water, or eat healthy foods such as carrots or other veggies. it also helps to recognise whether you are emotionally eating or genuinely hungry, as binge eating can often be a comforter. if that is the case, emotional support would help you to stop binge eating.

Try eating more often, just small meals regularly. Also if you throw away things that tend to trigger your binges it might help you to stop :)

Often people will binge due to boredom. If you happen to fall under this category, it might be best for you to keep busy. Other times, it might be that you seek comfort in eating, which is an indication that there may be an issue that needs to be addressed or worked out. If, however, you have binged for a great deal of time, it may be best to start lowering your food intake slowly, in steps, that way your body can adequately adjust to the change (otherwise you may feel overly tired and very hungry!). And as a sidenote: drink a lot of water to help combat urges -- it will help fill you up.

I have fought and continue to fight the binge eating. The one thing that has worked for me is busy, busy busy. Working out, or helping on a home project. The other things are NOT to keep "temptation" food in the house. Instead, keep low calorie filling food like celery, carrots, and such in the house.

When you feel like binging, think about why. Did something happen? Do you feel sad? Angry? Do you have any other hobbies, such as drawing, reading or writing? If so, I suggest you try one of those. They are brilliant for distracting you. Also, maybe try regular exersise, such as running, to help you centre your attention and to stop you worrying too much. I hope this helps :)

I would start by making sure there was either no junk food or little junk food in the house. I'd also make sure there is healthy snacks in the house so when I feel the need to binge, it is much more healthier. I'd also consult a doctor to make sure there wasn't an underlying eating disorder.

First of all, don't beat yourself up for it -- you're doing the best you can at every moment. When you have to do it, do it slowly, with awareness -- that will help you to overcome it, despite going against common sense -- really enjoy the food, feel it around your mouth.

This sounds like a difficult issue for you and i wonder what strategies you have used before. Have you been getting medical support?

In my experience with binge eating, or eating through emotional situations, I have found that there is usually a trigger involved that starts the process. Being introspective and aware of this trigger could help find healthier ways to cope with the situation at hand. Another way to manage this type of behaviour would be to keep only healthy foods around you, so that when these types of situations come up and you respond by eating, you are nourishing your body instead of harming it.

Binge eating could be cause by various factors. It could be stress or anything else. If you are binge eating try eating healthy stuff like fruits/high fiber biscuits or even nuts. So that the binge eating your doing gives good effects to your body and health. Also try to find out what is causing the binge eating and deal with it to stop it once and for all.
