Episode 342: Diagnosing Binges | Program Yourself Thin Podcast
Manage episode 421054832 series 3468458
Diagnosing the causes of binge eating is crucial for overcoming it and maintaining a healthy relationship with food. Begin by observing and understanding what leads to your binges. Note specific triggers that precede these episodes—this could be reaching a certain limit of hunger, engaging in habitual behaviors like eating while watching TV, or emotional triggers such as stress, anxiety, or sadness. Documenting these incidents in a food diary can help identify patterns and underlying causes. Learning from each binge episode allows you to develop strategies to cope or avoid these triggers in the future, such as regular meal times, alternative stress-relief methods, and conscious eating practices. This mindful approach is essential for breaking the cycle of binge eating and fostering healthier eating habits.
