Binge Proof Your Day

Binge Proof

Do you ever find yourself eating well or next to nothing during the day and then the dreaded evening/late night comes and you are starving so you binge eat?  or ever have an emotional roller coaster of a day/week/month/year and as a result binge eat?  I certainly have.  It happens to all of us.  How can we "Binge Proof Our Day"?
Chillax
1-Chillax
Take down time.  We may binge because we don't feel like we have the luxury of downtime.  Choose a downtime that is the food-free version; such as reading a book, going for a run/walk, stroll through the park, ride a bide, walk your favorite 4 legged animal, play cards, or soak in a bubble bath.
2-Listen to Yourself
Ask yourself, "Am I really eating this whole pizza?"  "Am I going to eat this bag of potato chips?"  "How will I feel emotionally/physically from eating the entire bag M&M's?" 
3-Become Aware of Your Surroundings
  • Watch yourself eat. 
  • Listen to the sounds you make while eating.
  • Taste your food and enjoy.  Slow down.
  • Feel the food in your mouth.
  • Smell the aroma of the food.
