I've been binge eating for the past three days. How do I stop before I make it a complete habit?

Q. I've been really stressed out for the past days and I have been binge eating like crazy. I used to binge eat a lot, almost every day, but I got rid of the habit for the last two months or so. But ever since a couple of days ago it came back. I'm starting to build the habit again. How do I stop??? Its like in my system and I can't let it go!

A. That's easy!!
when you feel like you want to eat, drink water, your brain sometimes confuses thirst with hunger.
Wear an elastic band around your arm, and whenever you feel like binge eating then ping it!!
And if you want to lose weight, then drink water before you eat, and while you eat.. constantly sip on water.. it REALLY helps!! I'm loosing soooo much thanks to water!!
make water your new best friend!!
Good luck!! =D

How much binge eating does have to do before you put on weight?
Q. For how many days ... say if you binge eat one day and then the next... and so on - how many days will it take to put on weight? If you're not overweight already and you exercise for an hour everyday anyway...
In response to the first answer, you'd have to binge eat EVERY day for a week to gain weight? Not just one or two days in a row?

A. depends on how much you binge and how active you are

Average size (120-150 lbs) sedentary woman will burn about 1750-2000 calories per day.

One pound of weight is equal to about 3500 calories.

So if you binged by 500 calories a day, you would gain one pound a week, if you binged by about 1000 calories, you would gain 2 lbs a week etc.

EDIT
Binging is the consumption of excessive calorie. In order to gain one pound, you would have to eat 3500 calories in excess of what you burn (3500 calories = 1 pound).

If you binged and ate 3500 calories more than you burned in a single day, you would gain one pound in one day. That would mean 3500 + calories burned bmr (2000). You would have to eat around 5500 calories in a day to gain a pound.

So yes, you COULD gain one pound in one day. That's a substantial binge.

How can I prevent myself from binge eating?
Q. I always find myself binge eating on rainy or overcast days,I have no idea why,but it's a burden,
does anyone have any effective tips on how I can prevent binge eating from happening?
or at least any tips on what foods I could binge on that wouldn't be as unhealthy?
It's an odd question,I know,but any advice is appreciated.

A. On those days get out of the house. When u feel like binge eating go for a walk or go work out, call up a friend for coffee. Also if your just craving food try chewing some gum, it will help, trust me.
