Have you ever found yourself binging , when your trying to lose weight? Well I have found a way to stop, and start a Binge-Proof Life.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • WILL POWER
  • A CHEAT DAY
  • DRIVE

Step1
Don't set yourself up. Analyze the ways in which you manage your time and your life. Get active, and don't forget some down time for yourself.
Step2
Never starve yourself. Don't skip breakfast. eat something small if you usually eat at this time. Try eating smaller more frequent meals.
Enjoy eating( eliminate distractions, eat at table instead of in front of the tv
Step3
Strip Trigger foods of their power( if you know it's not good for you don't buy it for the house. Out of sight is out of mind
Step4
Promise yourself regular tune ups, focus on yourself, do whatever makes you feel good, make sure it isn't food though. (get your nails done, go dancing)
Step5
Don't eat around cravings. If you find it unbearable go ahead, but indulge sensibly and set limits
Step6
When you feel like your about chow down on that chocolate cake use the five D's rule. 1.Determine what's going on. 2. Delay your response.3.Distract yourself for 10 mins. 4. Distance yourself from temptation. 5. Decide how you'll handle the situation.
Step7
Stop and take stock, after a binge we tend to feel guilty , write down how you feel and what you think lead you to binge. This way when the urge hits again you can see how you felt the last time you gave.

Tips & Warnings

  • This takes awhile to get used to but keep trying it will work out for you in the end
