How to conquer fruit binges?

I need some tips and tricks about how to stop fruit binges...I still am addicted to cherry and strawberries it's all I ever seem to want to eat...:(Once I start eating cherries I really can't stop.. I am able to eat 9 cup of cherries at once...I seem unable to limit myself, I eat them until I feel totally bloated and full, and after a few hours I'm craving it again...

Thanks in advance for any insight, experiences or adivce!

I am the same way with cherries. So I either don't keep things I binge on it my house and every one in while I will buy a bag knowing I will eat the entire thing.  Or I ask my husband for help.  Meaning I will tell him that I feel like eating a million cherries or whatever.  Just telling someone helps me not to do it.  

well, i gotta say, fruit binges are better than the chocolate and egg roll binges i go on :) but, i would recommend buying a variety of fruit-- skip cherries and strawberries if it bothers you- and eating those fruit... or make a fruit salad where you eat a variety of different fruit + your faves

Strawberries and cherries are easy: bag them in portions and freeze them. :) Then munch on them like candies. It`s great especially in the hot summer weather, and can relieve ice cream cravings too sometimes.

I used to be able to go through 2 lbs of cherries in 15 minutes, and could have still eaten more. Now 6 oz take me about half an hour to nibble on, and afterwards I feel completely satisfied.

switch to cantaloupe - it's ridiculously low-cal.

Well at least they don't "go to your thighs".  meaning your legs still look good.

is that you in the picture? b/c if so i am going to start going on fruit binges too! haha you look very skinny! maybe your body is craving the extra cals?

9 cups of cherries is 780 calories, which is a lot, but not binge status.  Maybe eat cherries in smaller amounts throughout the day rather than all at once, so the cherry lust dies down a bit

Umm yeah... You just described me. heh. I either don't buy them or buy small quantities. Hardest thing is passing those giant bags of frozen strawberries in Costco. I used to go through that bag and a mix bag of berries in a week, and that is when I had more self control about such things. :(

Yes,it's me, with 8 cups of cherries in my tommy. The thing is even if I eat a balanced diet during the day, I'm still craving fruit...Anyway, thank you for all your answers.
