binge eating is awful. it’s stressful, extremely upsetting, and it can make you feel out of control. but overcoming binge eating is possible. there was a time when i thought i would never beat the binge cycle that i was trapped in, but with hard work and dedication i was able to fully recover. i’ve grown so much through my experience, and i picked up a lot of useful tips and tricks along the way. so i put together a bunch of resources that will hopefully help you get through this too. it’s a long post, so buckle up. let’s get into it…
Tumblr media
beat cravings:
drink water
or peppermint tea
chew mint gum
gargle mouthwash
suck on ice cubes
brush your teeth
find healthier alternatives to the foods that you crave. fruit instead of candy, miracle noodles instead of pasta, frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, popcorn instead of chips… etc.
distract yourself:
study or do homework
meditate
exercise!
clean your room
paint your nails
do your makeup
take a shower or long bath
shave your legs
do a face mask
write a story or in your journal
work on an art project
read a book
make cute diy gifts for your loved ones
organize your closet
go for a walk or run
try on/plan outfits
take a nap
go shopping
run errands
just get out of the house and away from the kitchen
call up a friend
volunteer
binge prevention tips:
tell someone! having a support system can do wonders for your recovery. they can hold you accountable and encourage you.
get rid of all trigger foods. seriously, go through your kitchen and throw out everything you have the tendency to binge on. i used to binge on ice cream every single day until i tossed it out. chocolate, cereal, peanut butter, whatever your vice is… say goodbye. “if it’s there, you’ll eat it.”
tip #1 can be tough if you don’t live alone. opening up to your roommates about your problem can really help them understand the seriousness of it. one thing you can do is keep all of your food in a separate area, and train yourself to eat only from your own stash. in binge eating disorder recovery, i kept my food in an entirely different room from the kitchen (thanks, minifridge) and it helped me so much!
also, don’t buy food products you’ve binged on before. never go to the grocery store hungry, because you’ll be more likely to fill your cart with things that aren’t great for you (or your binging).
crash dieting often results in the development of binge eating. don’t restrict your calories too much if your goal is sustainable fat loss. furthermore, you’re gonna need energy to get through your workouts!
if the urge to eat is strong, make food that requires cooking/baking. i usually toss a sweet potato or some into the oven because it’ll take an hour or so to be ready to eat. by then, the urge to binge has often subsided.
always stock up on high volume foods, like vegetables. one of my favorite binge prevention techniques is to buy giant bags of veggies that i can just throw in the microwave. they’re huge- for a very small amount of calories, so if i eat a lot, it’s totally okay. (i like the ones from greengiant.)
meal prep meal prep meal prep! make your meals beforehand (in cute lil containers if you like) and this can help you stay on track. if you want to take it a step further, you can even buy the ingredients you need day-by-day to completely eliminate any chance of binging. (although this means going to the grocery store every day.)
set alarms for when you eat your meals. i just use an app on my phone for this. it helps because when i get a craving i am able to tell myself, just a little while longer until the next alarm and then i can eat.
include plenty of protein and fiber in your diet. they help keep you full! but it’s also important that your diet includes carbs and fats as well. a lack of any nutrient can cause your brain to send signals to your body that you need to eat. besides, you need all of these things to function!
don’t completely deprive yourself of any food you love. moderation is key.
get proper sleep! you should aim for around 9 hours of sleep per night. not getting enough sleep is linked to overeating, a slowed metabolism, and an increase in appetite.
never skip breakfast! every time i skip breakfast i always end up eating way too much later in the day.
and of course… stay hydrated. 💧
how to make an anti-binge box:
it’s a good idea to keep a stash of helpful items somewhere in the house. i keep mine in my room because i tend to binge at night. here’s some ideas for what to put in your anti-binge box.
gum/mints
bottled water
flavored sparkling water (good for soda cravings).
tea bags
jump rope, dumbbells, or other exercise equipment that you can grab and go
motivational quotes/pictures
journal
low calorie snacks like rice cakes, applesauce, jello, etc. (sometimes the act of chewing/eating will help ease the urge to binge.)
books
important phone numbers in case you need to call someone to help
intermittent fasting for binge prevention:
ah, intermittent fasting… it’s all the rage these days. normally i would roll my eyes at such diet trends, but this is what finally helped me get over my binge cycle!
i use the 16:8 fasting method, which in my opinion is the most effective for binge prevention. you have an 8-hour eating window in which you have all of your meals, and then you don’t eat for 16 hours.
my eating window is from 8am to 4pm, because i am more likely to binge in the evenings. even if i start to compulsively overeat during the day, i am able to stop at 4pm because it’s become a habit to do so.
your personal eating window can be whenever you want it to be, but i highly recommend the majority of your fasting to be during sleep.
intermittent fasting has several other benefits, but it can also cause health issues for some individuals. you should do your own research before determining whether or not intermittent fasting is for you.
Tumblr media
what to do after a binge:
don’t panic. it takes 3500 calories over your basal metabolic rate to gain one pound. most people burn around 2000 each day, so if you binged on 4000 calories today, you won’t gain even half a pound! remember this if you step on the scale and it says you’ve gained several pounds overnight. i promise that you have not- the weight gain comes from water retention, food, and waste.
step away from the kitchen. go to a room where you can calm down and recuperate. your bedroom, a cozy den perhaps. just get away from the source of your distress.
find some way to relax. take a shower or soothing bath, watch an episode of your favorite tv show, curl up with a good book, exercise if you feel up to it.
if you are having a panic attack, move to a space where you will be less likely to hurt yourself. make sure there are no sharp things around. then just float along with the panic attack until it subsides; recognize that you are not dying and that this panic attack cannot hurt you, and just roll with it. ride the wave until it’s over instead of fighting it. (and call someone to be with you if you can.)
don’t try to starve yourself the next day, as this will likely only lead to another binge. trust me when i say that binge-starve cycles are the worst. besides, one single binge will barely impact your weight. just accept that it happened and move on.
Tumblr media
dealing with the physical pain:
binge eating can be painful and very uncomfortable. it may feel like you’re about to burst. here are a few of my tips, researched and learned from experience, to help with the bloating and other physical symptoms that might occur after a binge.
drink tea. peppermint tea is excellent for soothing a bloated belly, but all teas have benefits. though i would suggest that you avoid caffeine right now, as it can make your anxiety worse.
try a heating pad. this can help with the pain.
sit still, close your eyes. lie down and allow your body to recover from the shock it has just received.
take a hot bath or a warm shower. relax, baby.
drink water. but don’t drink too much too quickly, or you might get nauseated.
do not force yourself to throw up (purge) because binging is already a shock to your body. vomiting is even more of a shock. you can do a lot of damage by purging, and it can be really hard to stop once you start. just don’t do it.
try to do some light yoga/stretching if you can, but don’t do strenuous exercise yet. allow your body to digest the food.
go to sleep. hit the reset button and start fresh tomorrow. sleeping is great for settling your stomach and healing your body. 
treatment options:
often times, binge eating is triggered by an emotion or stress. consider talking to a therapist who can give you strategies to combat this. therapy can help you get down to the root of the problem and find out what’s causing that stress. compulsive eating can also be helped with therapy.
work with a dietician or nutritionist. sometimes when another person plans out your foods and meals, it can help you stay on top of things. it can be good motivation too.
if things are really bad, consider seeing a psychiatrist who will prescribe you meds to help you stop binging. some meds can help with impulse control and appetite. it’s totally ok if you need prescriptions to help you out… there’s no shame in taking medicine!

if you’re in eating disorder recovery, you may find that you’ve started binging. relax, breathe, and go with the flow. i know that it’s not fun and it’s emotionally stressful, but your body is very smart and will do anything it takes to keep you alive. it needs nourishment. it needs fuel. and chances are, you need to gain some weight before you’re healthy. your body will know when it’s time to stop eating so much. right now it’s trying to get as much food as it can, because it doesn’t know when it’ll be starved again. when you reach a healthy weight/replenish nutrients you’ve been lacking, you will stop binging. trust me… i’ve been through it myself. it is not forever.
and if you’re in recovery, try to keep in mind how much your body is healing right now. (if you’re not recovering, you’re dying.) also, your metabolism is returning to normal- which is pretty cool!
binge eating is not your fault. it’s an actual disorder and that means that it’s an illness. you are not a failure or a loser, you are suffering and your pain is very real. what you’re going through is valid. you are such a badass for getting out of bed each day. 
i remember feeling so hopeless during the worst of my binge eating. i thought that it would never end and i would never stop gaining weight. i didn’t want to live anymore. fast forward six months later and i’ve never been happier. please stick around kiddo, cuz’ life really does get so much better. 
it doesn’t matter if you don’t think you’re sick enough. you deserve treatment, you deserve help and a beautiful life. you’ve got this! stay strong my lil warrior. ❤

@markiplier is a lot like Ant-Man with how he is around his friends. It really shows how he saved the universe but no one noticed to give him credit yet.

Loki X OC (Part One)
I sat down, tears threatening to fall. The steaming tea in front of me melting the snow that fell near it. My boyfriend of five years left me nearly a month ago and I was still dwelling on it. The waitress came back to me with a pitied look in her eyes, I knew her well enough for her to hug me. Fortunately, this gave me a certain comfort. 
“Darlin’, I know he left you when that crazy maniac destroyed our lives, but don’t you think it’s time,” she questioned softly, motioning to the little silver band on my right ring finger. “I can take it off your hands for you.”
I shook my head, “No. I’m not ready yet...”
“Okay, sugar,” she sighed and walked back inside to help serve the other customers inside. 
I turned away, looking emptily into the tea. Suddenly, a chair scraped the cement floor causing me to divert my attention up. A smirking man with jet black hair that was jelled slick-back, a red scarf wrapped around his neck, green and black styled clothing. He wore leather black gloves with golden threading.
“Is this seat open,” he questioned.
I sighed and waved him off. “I’m sorry, sir. I’m not in the mood for company.”
Without caring, he sat himself down and took off his gloves. “That’s not quite what I was asking.” I raised an eyebrow at him, curious to what he meant. “I said if I could sit here. Not if you wanted company.” A hint of British was in his voice but it almost sounded other-worldly.
I crossed my arms, “Well, that still doesn’t mean you can sit here.”
“Darling, I couldn’t help but notice how dazzling you are from across the street,” he complimented. I blushed at him. “Where I come from, gorgeous women are greeted with a kiss on the hand. May I?”
I blushed as he took my hand from the side of the tea cup and brought it to his warm pink lips. He kissed my knuckles gently, then met my eyes without releasing my hand. I felt a strange tingle from my hand and I quickly yanked it back. Glancing at my fingers, the small silver band was now a shimmering gold with an emerald stone in the center of it. 
I gasped, “How did you do that?”
The man merely smirked, stood, and bowed. “I am Loki of Asgard. And I’ve come to fancy your company.”

Break It or Make it
Things are confusing with my boyfriend right now. I don’t know if I love him the same anymore. But my father and little brother (basically my son) really love him. And he’s not doing anything wrong. It’s just that I had a change of heart. I’m having a difficult time if I should stay with him and stick it out or not.
There’s not anyone else that I’m interested in. I just lost my interest in him. But I don’t know who to ask for help. It’s only been a month but he has already been welcomed into my family. I really don’t know what to do here. I can’t do this alone.

Back
I want to go back to you
I’ve been thinking about you
And the way you laugh
And the way you smile
And the way you call my name
I miss what we had
Or what we never had
I’m happy now
But couldn’t I be happier then
It’s selfish
But I want you
I just can’t have you wanting me
I want you
But if you wanted me I couldn’t stay
I love others
But you are my main
And you don’t like that
And I don’t either
I just
Miss you
Like a heartbeat
Without a pulse
And all I want
Is to be yours again
