Eat Stop Eat: the "no diet" way to lose weight for good -- and keep it off

Weight loss: battle of the binge

by angela.booth on September 25, 2007

It’s terrifying when you feel out of control around certain types of food. Dieting and binge eating don’t go together. To lose weight, you need to discover what triggers your binge eating.

The article: 3 Tactics to Prevent Overeating: has suggestions for binge eaters, including this great tip for a woman who loves a certain brand of chocolate: “I suggested she try buying a box of Sees chocolates and putting it in her refrigerator or freezer. Then, every time she truly wanted a chocolate, she could sit quietly and really savor one piece. Two weeks later, she happily told me she still had a partially full box of chocolates in her refrigerator. She had enjoyed a handful of pieces and was looking forward to having a few more in the weeks to come. Just knowing she could have one when she truly wanted one gave her comfort and helped prevent her from overeating.”

As you continue to lose weight, you will find that binges are less frequent. Losing weight gives you confidence, and as you change your lifestyle, you will change too.
