How can I stop binge eating at night?
Q. I'm trying to cut back a lot on what I eat because I really need to lose a few pounds.

A lot of times I binge eat at night. Like tonight I ate a bunch of mini doughnuts, a fudge pop, ice cream, and pretty much everything I could get my hands on. I find it really hard to stop myself from eating a lot at night because I get hungry and I don't make good choices. Plus, I eat because I'm bored.

How can I stop binge eating at night?

A. When i tried to lose weight and end my addiction to restaurants, I made a bet with my boyfriend that I could go without them for two months. He did not believe me and said he would give me a certain amount of money if I actually succeeded. The fact that he didn't believe I could do it and the monetary incentive gave me the boost I need to do it.

Try to make a similar bet with your husband, mom, roommate, whoever you live with. It doesn't have to be money, but it should be something that you really want.

Also take Tylenol PM before you feel like binging. It will knock you out and you won't be dependent on it.

how do I prevent myself from binge eating today?
Q. im going to be home alone today so i know im going to be binge eating ALL day and i cannot afford anymore binging! how do i prevent it? my mom just went food shopping and bought all my favorite foods and i want them ):

what do i do?
can i just binge for today and start my diet tomorrow?
or binge and do LOTS of exercise?

A. No don't binge today. When you think about binging think about how you will feel after. Whenever I would binge I would feel happy while I was eating but then after was a disaster..I would feel guilty and upset and start crying like crazy. Avoid that lol.

Think about the fact that if you store more fat it will just be extra fat you are going to have to work off. It isn't worth it.
