How to stop binge-eating
How I did it: I realized that the more i kept SAYING i had this problem and wallowing in the valley of despair about it, knee deep in buckets of icecream, boxes of cookies, etc... that i would keep myself there. I was manifesting what i kept saying, and kept doing it like i was out of control of my own behavior. SO.
I greatly eliminated white flour and sugar from diet, at first. because for me, those foods would trigger binges. I went 5 months without it. one month with it--( where I binged) and then eliminated it again.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in the first month. I kept having to remind myself and say stuff like this:
"I used to have an eating disorder. I used to binge, but now I dont do that anymore. I used to be out of control, but now I'm healing myself. I am healed. I am in control"
I realized the more i kept saying i did this, the more i was keeeping myself in the place of having it.
This is not bull. I just realized the other day, how much i hadn't been binging, and I realize that it is because I had a conversation OUT LOUD with all of my body, that we had stopped doing that. we no longer would use that behavior. I made it a thing of the past,by saying that it was in the past, and anytime my whining, i can't do it voice would come, i would remind myself that i had stopped. I have had 7 months of no binges, because it is a thing of the past for me.
and, a long time ago, on this journey, i found inositol vitamins at the vitamin shop. apparently binge behavior places give this to folks with binges. I used it regulary. but then it got hard to keep up with because you have to have it, then go without it and such. it was helpful.
if i feel the itch of my past coping mechanism sneaking up on me, i take an inositol. this is extremely rare, but its there if i need it.
Lessons & tips: relanguage yourself. start saying what you want to do instead of pounding in what you don't want in your life.
I have healed myself. I am healed cause I say so. Im done with that. I don';t do that anymore. put it in the past in your mind.
stop eating flour and sugar as much as you can. try to eat foods that have them at least as the fourth ingredient.
