How To Stop Binge Eating

I'm so proud of myself, I just ate dinner and then I kind of 'wanted' to binge eat and I already got chips and chocolate, but then I didn't eat the chocolate. That's like A HUGE step for me. I wish everyone the best and believe in yourself!!

I had been an emotional binge eater for over a decade. Here's what helped me overcome it: 1. Sufficient sleep every single day 2. Regular Pranayam practice 3. Long walks in the evenings 4. Fixed eating schedule (3 full meals a day, with sufficient quantities of macro and micro nutrients) 5. Not feeling shame when relishing a piece of cake or other dessert on special occasions 6. Supplementation (calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B complex) 7. Keeping my body hydrated with water and herbal teas

As a binge eater in recovery, the most important thing she said in the video is “MAKE SURE YOU’RE SATISFIED.” So many of my binges could’ve been prevented if I ate enough and allowed myself to eat things that I was craving (in moderation of course).

7 days of no binging so proud of myself. If I can do 1 weeks I can do 2! 🥺

How I eat definitely ties in to my mood.. if I’m on a “clean eating streak”.. then Wow ..things get done - the whole house is clean, I’m exercising, dinner is on the table and excited to cook, energetic, I’m a more efficient worker at work, way more organized with everything , you name it.. but it never lasts and the binge days/weeks creep in and take over.. and then I’m just the opposite .. house not as clean, don’t feel like cooking because I binged all day and feel like crap) .. it really is insane how I change because of how I eat .. almost like the manic/depressive for eating

I haven’t binged since January 2nd. And I’ve never had such a healthy relationship with food as I have right now. Never thought it would get getter and it finally has!

Katie, I've gained 40 lbs from binge eating while working from home during covid. Now I;m feeling really disgusting and looking for ways to avoid that habit. Perfect timing. Thank you.

I'm so glad you made this video, I've been trying to stop binging for so long💖

Kati, this was the most helpful video you’ve ever made for me :’) thank you for talking about “healthy” foods and weight gain the way you do because it really makes me feel like someone understands

This video came at the perfect time. My eating behaviors went downhill back when Covid began, and ever since I’ve been struggling to get it under control again. One of my goals for the summer is to get back into a healthy eating routine and nourish my body properly again. Thanks for all the tips!

Wow the fact that I’m dealing with this rn I been starving myself for a while now and 3 days is the longest I’ve gone and I’m binging today 😔

I found this so helpful!!! Not just for me but for a lot of people I know who are stuck on the dieting - restrict then binge cycle. Thank you Katie!! ❤️

For me it's feeling intimidated to cook. When my depression gets really bad, the last thing I want to do is cook a meal, go shopping, read a recipe, deal with the dishes, etc. I just want to consume and be done with it. So eating take out or frozen pizzas or something, lots of door dash, hits the spot.

omg i need this!! i swear im addicted to food. candy is the first thing i reach for in the morning and if i wake up in the middle of the night i reach for candy then fall back asleep. next month i'll be 1 year clean from drugs, but since being clean i've really turned to eating. eating is soo comforting to me but i'm gaining soooo much wait, its bad 😔

Thank you for this caring, honest, very vulnerable and human talk. You make me able to have compassion for myself, thank you 🙏, blessings 🙂

love this type of content! definitely what the world needs right now. thank you for all you do!

Thank you so much for highlighting the struggle with binge eating at night. I have a lot of shame around that. It was also really helpful to talk about the binge/restrict cycle. I find that so hard to get out of.

I’ve struggled on and off with binge eating for most of my life. I was on a good streak for awhile but I’ve been really falling into the habit of binging again. All these are helpful tips. I’m hoping I can put it to use and get some kind of relief. Thank you for sharing ❤️

I’ll crave a food and constantly think about it. The cravings can be all consuming . After I eat whatever the craving is It temporarily goes away, but then I feel really guilty like I committed a crime. Then the cycle starts all over again. Similar to drug addiction. Any1 else have this problem? any suggestions that help?
