How I KNEW I wasn't wanting to binge was when I kept the PB out of the house and then WALKED to the grocery store to go get myself a jar. That's dedication and a strong urge from my body that that's what it NEEDED hahahaha

All those were just variations of "just don't binge eat". Gives the same vibe as telling a person with depression to "just be happy".

The water tip is actually pretty good, since thirst signals tend to be confused for hunger signals. If you think you're still hungry, but just ate, have a glass of water, if you're still hungry, then get some more food

I've learned that my problem with binge eating is that I'm just bored/ not occupied enough. For example, if im watching a show, my mind wants something else to do at the same time. So instead, I try to find a small task to do while watching the show. Also, the water tip actually does help me. Although, the water cup has to have a straw (keeps me more busy) and I have to be consistently drinking the water while doing something. Obviously this won't work for everyone and sometimes I don't catch myself, but its worth trying if you think it might help!

I'm literally 14 and can not stop binge eating no matter what I try, and my family getting fast food 3+ times a week is not helpful especially when you have the "well I might as well eat way more since I already ruined it" or the "I'll start tomorro" mindset

[PB_and_JellyCuube]

When you realize that that your dad telling you “you’re not hungry you’re probably just bored” or “Just drink some water instead” all your life was his loving but bitchy way of telling you that he thinks you’re fat.

Those people don’t know what binging really is. I AM CONVINCED they’ve never had a real binge

I mean, I’m not gonna lie keeping it out of the house has definitely helped me and when I actually want it, I go and buy it. 106 pounds down so far and definitely in a better place mentally.

Not keeping certain foods in the house CAN be a good idea if you aren't otherwise restricting. I usually reach for snacks at dinner time because it mostly doesn't occur to me to make food until I'm hungry enough to eat a full meal, but being hungry dramatically reduces my executive function (which is responsible for decision making and initiating tasks, both of which are required to make food). So, I find a snack, I start eating the snack, I end up eating an entire meal's worth of calories of said snack because it tastes good and I'm hungry, and then I physically feel like crap because it's not particularly nutritious and really is not a satisfying dinner. However, if what I have is fruit and cheese and nuts, it's much easier to take a snack sized portion and reduce my hunger juuuust enough to get over that hill of getting started on cooking a proper meal. Also, if I simply don't buy it regularly, I'll usually only crave a particular snack food once every month or two because I have the powers of "out of sight out of mind" working in my favor

When i wanted to binge the urge would be so big that i would go to the shop just for that, it was during my college years, i’d leave my dorm and go through the campus just to buy food, scared that someone will see me coming back with a bag of snacks, and god knows i would only leave my dorm when actually necessary, and I barely talked to my flatmates because I had bad social anxiety so would try to be sneaky about it 😅

[jessicasharpe]

Just to keep myself from binging I don’t keep it in the house. But if I’m craving it bad enough I’ll go out to the ice cream store or restaurant and eat it out.

I’ll still enjoy it. Just have to go out to get it. No shame. Just can’t control myself around certain foods.

But if I know that I’m going out I’ll look forward to it. And definitely enjoy it with someone.

Everyone is different

I'm literally OBSESSED with your bangs and curls! They are literally so beautiful Colleen!✨😍✨

[hannahheartsedward]

That brings me back to the days of looking up that nonsense on Tumblr. I've been fully recovered for like a decade now. It of course was never about the food or being thin, it was about anxiety, control, and poor coping skills. Once I got out of the environment and back to school, I thankfully had all kinds of support. No more staring contests with a bag of M&Ms because I can't decide if I'm worth it to have the candy.

Water before and after meals helps alot with portion control.

[eviebuggs]

As someone with bed I feel this in my bones

[butterraccoon]

I knows this video is spreading awareness on why this is bad, but i also want to spread awareness

Not letting yourself enjoy your favorite snacks once in a while, makes you binge when you get your hands on it

Drinking water to ignore cravings or eating, will put you in an eating disorder, please don't go down that road, if you haven't already, but if you have, I hope you're getting better, you're beautiful too!
And lastly, giving yourself only a tiny piece of your craving will also make you eat all of it

[theratgodpraiseme]

The only way to “control” binge eating is by having a balanced 3 meals a day it doesn’t have to be overly healthy it just needs to make you feel full for a few hours until your next meal and YES you can have snacks in between it’s not wrong or unhealthy!!

[EmptyTheTanks]

None of those things are bad tips, except the “you just have no will power” thing. Especially at the beginning of your healing journey, it is NOT a failure to not be able to have certain foods in the house. And yes sometimes we do use sugary drinks as hydration replacement, and end up more dehydrated in the process. And it is okay to have “unhealthy” things in moderation too, that is not a failure.

[pocket_broccoli]

“you’re probably just thirsty” ouuu…that definitely hit home. i grew up with my parents, dad especially, telling me that i wasn’t actually hungry and that my body was just used to habit, that i should fast and work out more, that i should cut down on carbs and sugar and eat as little calories a day as possible and when i was hungry i should just drink a big glass of water and see how i feel because you’re probably just thirsty.

i really just wanted to pop in here and say thank you. because thanks to your videos ive realized how unhealthy that mindset is and that i deserve to eat when im hungry and shouldn’t limit what i eat to small low calorie meals and should just eat what im hungry for. i really appreciate you helping me to get out of that mindset.❤

Actually the tip about drinking water is accurate and helpful. It is important to stay hydrated and a lot of time you may feel hungry, especially like in between meals and/or snacks, is because you are thirsty or dehydrated. You do have to possess some will power, especially when dieting for the purpose of weight loss, particularly when operating in a caloric deficit. But no, we should not treat food like it’s evil or from the devil.
