      hi there, i struggle with constant emotional eating, and i am stuck in a cycle of binging and restricting. i am really struggling at the moment and i too can't see any way out. but keep fighting, keep trying to distract yourself, and ask yourself why you want to binge. believing that you will get through it is part of the fight. i wrote this on another post..........it might help......... if you have a craving like you did have and you know that it is emotional hunger not physical hunger, ask yourself what you were just doing or thinking about right before you got the cravings. it is easier if the cravings were sudden. trace back your thoughts. try putting an apple/carrot stick in your hand and immediately changing your situation. if you were thinking about something stressful(for example), play some soothing music and go lay down. once you have calmed down, ask yourself, "is it really as bad, as stressful as i think it is?", "is there any reason to be as stressed as i am?" and work through it calmly with yourself. if you were doing something that has made you stressed, do the same thing and remove yourself from the situation. go for a walk around the block, maybe. once you have calmed down, think about some ways of making what you are doing more relaxing and more enjoyable. are you doing something for school or work that is winding you up? stop and relax after 20 minutes of working at it and come back to it. stop after another 20 minutes and listen to some music or dance there must still be an underlying issue that causes the cycle so keep track of when, where, what, you eat and try to find a pattern to work with. for example, do you tend to eat more or less than a normal amount of food in a certain situation or place(i almost never eat in front of other people and always eat in my room)

      hey, i have some idea what are are going through. its a cliche, but i promise things will get better. there is definatly more for you to live for. another cliche, take it one day at a time.... and most importantly, take the focus off food. eating is only something we do so we can live and do other things! put food in its place, it is a vital substance so you can be healthy but its not worth getting obsessed with.
