How do you stop binge eating?

Question

Hi, I wonder if someone has experienced binge eating and found a way to stop that. I'm trying everything, I also went to a nutritionist to have a proper diet but in the night I'm still struggling with binge. Any help, any suggestion is much appreciated.
Thank you

Answer

You need to get to the reason why you are binge eating, normally people binge eat when they are trying to fill a void that they are feeling we’re trying to feel numb to what they are feeling or trying to escape reality, there are tons of reasons why people binge eat, and speaking from someone who’s had every eating disorder, there’s always a reason why. Maybe you grew up in a house and didn’t have much food, so when you actually got it on your own you kind of hoard it because you’re scared it’s gonna disappear, or maybe you’re dealing with some bullying and you don’t want to feel how it makes you feel, or maybe you have an abusive mother like I did, And I still to this day will catch myself going to the fridge and have to stop myself because she has a mouth that I wish someone would sew shut￼ and just Makes you feel horrible about yourself. Never has a nice thing to say to me ever, I can never do anything right, nothing is good enough, she’s like the ultimate abusive boyfriend or husband. Controlling, you name it everything under the sun, I was sexually abused at 8 and became an alcoholic by the age of 12, cutting, burning, went from man to man to man and last November I spiraled and gain 30 pounds binge eating, because I didn’t know any other way to cope and because I unlock the memory from many years ago after reading some thing on here and realized it had happened to me. The best thing that someone told me was let that shit go, they can’t hurt you anymore, They can’t affect you anymore, you can’t give them that power over you, you aren’t even around them anymore. Let that shit go, you deserve better, you deserve happiness, you are not that person, you can’t blame yourself, it was t your fault, you are not a victim, you are victorious, you are a survivor and a warrior.￼ and they were right. I chose to let that shit go. I chose happiness instead. I chose not to dwell on that. I chose to let it go. You need to figure out why you are binge eating, what are you trying to escape, what is affecting you and causing this, maybe some counseling or therapy may help, journaling, screaming into a pillow, yoga or exercise, finding new ways of channeling your feelings instead of binge eating. Take control of your life. Figure out a new game plan. You’ve got this.

Answer

I was never much for binge eating, but I'd definitely avoid it after seeing an episode of '1,000 Ways to Die' where someone ate too much too fast and their stomach exploded and killed them 😳

Answer

I haven't personally dealt with an eating disorder, but I'm hoping I can help a little. Maybe try meditating. It has really helped me be more mindful and in the moment. I find myself checking in on how I feel throughout the day. If things are stressing me out/making me angry/burning me out/boredom/etc. I find that I'm aware of it before I act on it if that makes sense.
Get in tune with yourself, try and find out what is casing the discomfort (like someone else said there is definitely a reason for it). Try practicing mindful eating. Eat slower. See how you feel after eating different things at different quantities. 
I've been using the app Simple Habits, I also listen to Corey Muscara's "Practicing Human" podcast on spotify, and honestly there's plenty of stuff on YouTube. The biggest take away I've gotten from practicing is to just become aware of your thoughts and how your body is reacting to different situations/thoughts/feelings and then working to better yourself or develop healthier coping skills.

Answer

I would look into counseling that focuses on disordered eating or eating disorders. 
I’ve found taking a more intuitive eating approach to food has caused me to have fewer binge-restrict cycles.
