How the hell do I break this cycle? I am so disgusted with myself every time I binge, but I keep relapsing and doing it again. I can't do therapy for financial reasons, but I will try anything else. Anybody successfully battle this problem?
>I'm not fat, but not thin. I'm slowly gaining weight.
>I work out, and really like it.
>I eat fairly clean, but too much.
>When I start, I can't stop.
>I've struggled with this for years.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Uh well, idk if you really want my advice, since mines basically bulimia/anorexia speaking
When I started starving myself, essentially, what I did was purge all the food from my house. It was a pain in the ass, but I did my grocery shopping every day. I ONLY bought what I was gonna eat for the day. If I ate it all in one sitting, oh well. It's much easier to will yourself not to get in your car and drive to the store for more food than it is to will yourself to stop eating once you've started imo.
If you don't live alone, you'll probably have a harder time with it, but you can still try it. You just have to will yourself to remember the food in the fridge is not yours, and pretend your family/roommates will be mad if you eat their food (if they wouldn't actually). Do your own shopping, only buy what you're going to eat for 1 single day. Then you won't have anything more to eat.
Baby steps. You'll get there.
I eventually was able to work up to where I don't need this anymore. I can stock my fridge full and not overeat now. I know I only get 1 lean cuisine a day and then I go to bed.
It also helps to get yourself away from food as much as possible. Find places outside your house to go and spend the bulk of your day at.
I think I have the same problem. I'll happily fast - and enjoy it - for two weeks at a time, not eating anything except water for 16 days. Then as soon as I start eating, I'll eat uncontrollably and binge on icecream and candy and potatoes and gain it all back. I'm not obese nor scarily thin, and never have been, I just have really variable willpower.

Thanks, I can give this a shot. I do have a hard time keeping my hands off my roommate's food when I'm in binge mode, but I like this daily allowance idea. I'll work on that.

Fuckin tell me about it. I'm sometimes great and sometimes horrible. But I'm gradually getting worse. How to strengthen willpower?
Become a fat permabulking powerlifter. Leave humanity behind.
