How can I stop myself from binge eating ?
Q. I am 5'3 114 lbs., I diet and exercise. I think the only thing stopping me from losing weight is binge eating. I binge eat when I'm nervous. I also suffer from depression, this also causes me to binge eat. PLEASE HELP. I want to lose weight but i can if I binge eat.
A. Are you the type of person who learns from books, because there are several out on emotional eating. I have the same problem.
Two things that really helped me were something I learned from the people at Overeaters Anonymous (otherwise useless for me, but this was important). It's called HALT.
Never let yourself get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.
Second, I learned to manage what I did eat. For some reason, when I craved sugar and crunch snacks, eating protein, especially beef jerky, satisfied something and I felt better and was able to stop the binge.

How do some people get addicted to cutting themselves?
Q. i dont get why anyone would become addicted to something that doesnt feel good or bring them any pleasure.... for other addictions theres that euphoric feeling you get when you are doing the addiction like
anorexia- losing weight
binge eating- eating food give pleasure
smoking/drinking/drugs- make you feel good
but cutting doesnt do any of that it just hurts...so if someone was doing it out of curiosity i dont understand how they would become addicted?

A. When someone cut themselves the body releases endorphin that makes the person feel good and euphoric, like a drug, but not too intense. That way, a person becomes addicted to this feeling, because for one instance you have a nice feeling.
Also, the person who is doing self-harm doesn't feel the pain of the cut, they have so much pain inside them that they don't even care, and when you come to think, it isn't that much pain, and it only lasts for a few seconds.
