- You may want to do some thinking about your (food) environment. My
- own experiences show that if I run out of the 'good' food (fruits and
- vegies for me), when I get hungry, the peanut butter and jelly
- sandwich consumption (the equivalent of junk food for me, nowadays)
- goes up. You might want to consider getting a stash of fruit to
- keep in a dorm 'fridge, like a few apples and such. The idea is
- to divert the junk food impulses into something a bit less nasty....
-
- For me, putting myself on a guilt trip only made me depressed, which
- made me want to eat more... I had to learn to confront the situation
- that triggered the eating cravings/episode, and figure out some
- way to solve the problem. (HMR's codified this, the guilt trip/depression
- is one of the many manifestations of the 'failure syndrome', and the
- confrontation/problem solving arrangement is what they call
- the 'success cycle'. Useful tool. I'll try to explain it in more
- detail Real Soon Now.)
-
- Bottom line; binging should have some reason behind it. Try to figure
- out that reason and how to divert/mutate/eliminate the causes and
- you're most of the way around it.
-
- Good luck!
