What can I do to distract myself when I feel a binge coming on?

Sunday, February 21, 2016

1. Eat a piece of fruit instead of sweets.
2. Do some exercise to distract myself!
3. Take my mind off the food by calling a friend and having a nice long conversation with them.

I am always having a problem but I like all the great advice. The other night I ate tons of candy. I don't even know why. The next day I decided that I am not doing it any more. No, I am not doing it any more!!! This is what I have been doing. Every thing I put in my mouth I ask myself "Is this going to get me to my goal?" If it won't than I'm not eating it. Then I ask "Why do I think I need to eat this?" I have been eating a lot less chocolate than I usually eat!!!

WHen I get the snack cravings I play games on the computer or my phone. I have even recently taken up Adult Colouring. Something to keep my hands busy. Works for me

Your advice to yourself is great - I do think there is something as to understanding why you are binging. For me I always try to take a step back and say to myself, that binging will not fix an emotional issue (for me stress) and that indeed binging often leads me to feel more stressed in that I feel guilty for binging and gaining weight.

I do best by getting some exercise. Even if it's only walking in place for 5 or 10 minutes, it's enough to do the trick.

Great ideas!
Some of mine are: Drink and drink lots of water, take a walk to distract myself and get some fresh air, exercise dvd's, get on sparkpeople, read a motivating weight loss magazine like Oxygen, Shape, ect. to re-focus my mind.

Great ideas! I have also found brushing my teeth, drinking a full glass of water, and putting lotion on my hands helps keep me from snacking.

A reminder of your motivation in places where binges hit (on your frig? In your car? ), or a goal statement, or just a number counting up the days that followed your plan. If you blow it, don't quit, just restart and try to go higher this time!

Hydrate. I find most grazing and binging in my house stems from less than optimal water intake. The other recmendations are great ones, too!
