How to Break a Binge Streak??

Basically ever since I have come home from college I have binged/compulsively overate every day. Having access to all these holiday foods is really triggering for me, and for some reason my mind has created this association between my family home and overeating, meaning that I automatically feel more inclined to binge just from being back in this environment. My eating habits at college were by no means perfect but way better than what I am experiencing now. I haven't binged for this many days consecutively in a long time so I am concerned that weight gain will creep up on me. I realize at this point my binging is probably become somewhat part of my routine, since I exclusively binge eat at night. I guess I just don't know how to break the cycle and get out of this routine?! I try not to deprive myself and even when I eat appropriate portions throughout the day I still often feel an intense longing to eat more when I am sitting around during the evening/nighttime even though I am not hungry whatsoever. It just sucks because I feel bloated and ugly and flabby even though I haven't gained any substantial weight from this current binging episode (at least not yet). I still mentally label foods as good and bad but I try to allow myself to eat them regardless. I also fear that when I am trying to be "good" I will lose all control and impulsively overeat and binge on any food nearby, and this fear makes me want to avoid "bad" foods in order to prevent myself from losing control.

Everyone's different of course but I know one trick to stopping a binge streak is changing something in the routine. You mentioned that the environment is triggering, which is very common. So we want to find something that you can alter, that is in your control. For some people, this can be eating with your non dominant hand, using a utensil to eat something that is usually eaten with your hands (or visa versa). Eating facing the opposite wall than usual can work, too. The key is making something different enough to disrupt the "routine" part of it. It will at least slow your thinking down enough to give you a greater chance to catch yourself.

The other piece is shame. Let go of it. Stop beating yourself up. Focus on what you are thankful for our what you like about yourself.
