The Reason Why You Binge Eat

Believe it or not, I know the reason why you binge eat. In fact, I know why and so does the limited number  of experts in the field of binge, emotional and compulsive eating. The reason is actually quite simple and it makes sense.

The reason that you binge eat is because it works.

Binging temporarily distracts, soothes, calms emotions and relieves stress.

Of course the key word in the previous sentence is temporarily. I encourage you to stop beating yourself up for binging and forgive yourself for behavior that in the short term makes logical sense. This will give you the courage and determination to find alternatives to binge eating.

Remember, the ultimate goal is to reduce the severity and frequency of binges. This means that a single binge is not a failure. In fact it might be part of a very important learning experience.
