you don't stop binges

You don't stop binges, you prevent them. And you prevent them by understanding what triggered them in the first place. So the next time you have a binge, don't beat yourself up and get upset about it. Go back in time in your mind to five minutes before you started the binge and ask yourself two key questions. Number one is how hungry was I? And number two is where was I at emotionally? And when you start to ask this question, you're going to start to recognize there are patterns to your binges. And when you recognize the patterns, then you can go to work on preventing them in the first place by not letting yourself get too hungry and by learning better ways to manage manage your emotions that don't involve food.
