Heh. I binged horribly this morning too. I ate 2380 calories before 10am.
I blame my mother since she brought home 3 dozen doughnuts. Even though she knows half of the people in my house are trying to diet.

I'm just going to stop eating for the rest of the day, but I'll have a small healthy snack before I go to bed.

You sure that's binging? Because it really doesn't sound that much. Maybe you chould think of it as an early brunch and have early dinner and maybe a snack if you are hungry later on.

Beating your head with it isn't going to solve your problem so don't hate yourself!!! There's always tomorrow.

calm down...

You ate a lot at once but it was all very healthy. Give your body a few hours to digest that. Drink water. Workout, then go back to healthy eating habits. I have trouble with binging on and off too. So far what helps me the most is eating 5 small meals a day/ every 3-4 hours.  I've started avoiding my 'triggers' like the plague. For me that's chocolate, peanut butter, and any high fat or overly sweet foods (even if they're healthy fats and sweets)

Eat at the table away from the tv with no loud noises, no radio either unless mellow music. That way you really focus on your food. Chew slowly. I stop eating 3 hrs before bed. As soon as i finish dinner i drink a small glass of water then go brush and floss my teeth. Earlier in the day I chew minty gum immediately after a meal to signal my body that the meal is over.

Also balanced meals. Some that are healthy, filling, lasting choices are: oatmeal and a piece of fruit (eat the fruit first b/c the fiber will help you get full faster, apples are great). Beans, rice and veggies are good. A bowl of cereal and some yogurt.

Make fruit and veggies the focus of your meals. If you feel a binge coming on eat veggies or fruit first, then you won't be able to eat much of anything else b/c fruits and veggies are so filling.

Distance yourself from food when you start to get that out of control urge to eat. Go take a nap, go for a walk, call a friend, exercise, draw, whatever.

You just have to find what works for you. Hopefully my suggestions help, best of luck.Smile
