Binge eating


Brain Zoned out on the T.V. screen as my hand mindlessly shovels all the food in the general area down my throat. My stomach is full my hunger was subsided yet caramel popcorn, chocolate, crackers, gummy bears, extra bowel of chicken soup is eaten in large amounts.  URRGG I feel so disappointed! I am an emotional eater and a binge eater and this week did not go well.  I am going to forgive myself though I can't change what have happened in the past it is just time to move on and try to make better decisions. 
Way I am planning on trying to end this problem-

  • Really write down what I eat. Yes I have ended my weight watchers but I still have the membership right now AND part of the agreement of when I stopped weight watchers that I was going to continue to do weight watchers but I have to keep myself accountable.   This week was tough because I was very upset and crying about personal reasons, I was at home around sweet fating treats, and my Aunt Flow was in town. 
  • Eliminate the possibility of eating by putting the food away or telling someone around me to stop me from eating.
  • Go to sleep I notice sometime when I am tired I continue to eat to stay awake.
  • Really think about what I am doing. I don't have to be a mindless drone. I can think am I really hunger? Why am I eating? What is another way I can deal with my emotion?
  • I can go walk a mile or exercise. Maybe after that it will have curbed my appitite or distracted me. Or maybe I will want it more but have "earned" it. Or I can come on here and complain my little heart out on here to give me the strength to not over fill myself.
  • Give my self 20 minutes before eating more. It takes 20 minutes for my brain to tell my body I am full.  
  • I am going to drink more water. Not only is it healthy for me and has so many health benefits it will make me fill fuller.
Ok so one of the big problems is that I know I am not hunger or I am already fully stuffed but I still contiue to munch on all the food around.  So lets see how this goes and I will update on you guys if I am still Overeating to the extremes.
