Q. Hi all,
I need to know how can i reduce my appetite and stop binge eating?
I know many of you will say deal with the emotional aspects about what causes me to do this but to be honest, i'm past caring and just need some ideas to stop myself.
Please don't bother posting stupid links to external sites for free trials of acai berry (or the equivalent) we all know its a scam. You can just buy it in a health food shop.
I really do need your help, i can't take it anymore

Where can I learn if I have binge eating disorder and how can I stop binge eating?
Q. I've been struggling with food for longer than I care to admit. I have researched online, but not 100% sure if I do have binge eating disorder, or if I do, how to stop binge eating. Any ideas or resources would be good so I can learn more. thanks.
A. As far as knowing if you have binge eating disorder, see if any of these sound like you...
1. Are you tired of hiding food wrappers at the bottom of the garbage in hope that no one will see the âevidenceâ?
2. Are you ready to put on a smile for the world and keep it on instead of crawling back into your âsad worldâ when you are alone?
3. Are you ready to end your private nightmare filled with sadness and start a new life filled with excitement and happiness?
4. Do you constantly feel like something is wrong with you and use food to ease the pain?
As far as learning more, I have provided two resources on binge eating disorder. One is a site about a girl who suffered with binge eating disorder for many years, and the other is a binge eating video on YouTube from the same girl.

How can I stop myself from binge eating?
Q. For like the last four or five months my eating habits have been all over the place. I go through periods of time where I will restrict my calories and other times when I just can't stop eating. I know that part (or all) of the reason I binge eat is because of stress, boredom, or because I have been restricting my food to the point where I am so hungry I start eating uncontrollably. The problem is I can't seem to help myself and don't know how to stop binge eating. What can I do?
A. First of all, don't beat yourself up about it. Everyone has a binge every once in a while, but you can do a lot to prevent it.
I'd suggest eating 5 or 6 small meals a day (about 300 calories each). This is eating every few hours so you know you never have to wait long for your next meal. Make them healthy and filling. There's many resources online and in cookbooks for making tasty small meals. Drink water + tea or coffee the majority of the time, not pop or milk. This may feel weird for the first few days, but after a while your stomach will understand and as long as you plan ahead, it is a great diet to maintain. It's how I lost 10 lbs the healthy way.
Also, write down everything you eat (everything!). When you feel like snacking/binging, look at your food journal and think - should I eat anything more right now?
At night time, brush your teeth not long after your last meal (or cup of tea). When your teeth are clean and fresh you won't want to eat. I find this helpful because when I snack badly it tends to be at night. I also try to remember how I will feel the next morning when I step on the scale and think "wow, I wasn't even hungry and now I have to work that much harder to get rid of my boredom eating".
Good luck!
