How to avoid emotional/binge eating?!
Question: I am little bit overweight, I actually got into that position from a perfect figure 'cause, I was a emotional eater, I mean when I stepped from late teens to 20s( I am 22), i had to face more complicated challenges in life which were new to me. One way I used to get away from them was excessive eating or emotional eating. Do you guys have any solutions in order to stop it? like healthy alternatives? I am so worried that I will continue to do that and ruin my body.

you need to associate your negative situations with something other than eating
try excercise, music, talking to someone...
anything but eating
and if you are doing another activity while eating (such as watching tv) you need to stop that
if you can find something (anything) and do that instead of eating for 21 days it will subconciously become habit
i know it will be tough, but what works for a lot of people is to carry a picture of a 'fat' person around with them at all times
whenever you feel like binge eating look at the picture and think this could be you
DON'T stop your normal eating habits though
i use to do that but i stopped after i did lots of workouts and lost a lot of weight. I still confront eat now and again but i can control it, it's ok to do it, but not often. I still do and i'm underweight. you just have to do it in moderation and do lots of workouts. Report It
