Hi Sally,

Binge Eating is a very common problem people face out of a busy schedule,stress and other factors which make you avoid your regular meals taken at the right time.

Emotional eating is a hard habit to get out of. However, there are many tips to help you quit this dangerous tendency.

* To overcome emotional overeating, an over-eater must be willing to change. Otherwise, the disorder will typically become worse and, like any other addiction, result in additional consequences.
* Identify which emotions are causing this problem. They could be anger, frustration, boredom, insecurity etc.
* If you notice that you are eating from emotion, move away from where the food is. You can go into another area until you calm down and regain control of your emotions.
* Don't keep junk foods around, because it's much easier to fight those urges when junk food isn't readily available. Alternatively, attempt to replace calorie laden junk foods with healthier alternatives.
* Make a list of things you can do to sidetrack yourself when emotional eating threatens, such as go for a jog, take a short nap, or read a book.
* Get plenty of rest, exercise and eat a balanced diet during your regular meals. A healthier approach to life can help you break bad habits and feel better overall.
