@semenslurper9000, 1. Your username 😭😭, 2. I’ve also found that setting a list beforehand that I have to go through, if I feel a binge coming I go on a walk, green tea, water and sparkling water, and the most helpful has been writing a full two pages in a journal, just talking about how you feel. It’s a really healthy coping mechanism and great to track your progress

I do the same as @ariele pretty much. I just try to drink loads of water and if I have gum available I chew it throughout the day<3

Best thing that’s worked for me though it’s probably not the healthiest approach, is drinking mass amounts of water, as in 750 mL in one sitting. I’ll be so nauseous that the binge cravings stop. Mint is also shown to aid in stopping binge eating so mint gum mint tea mint water whatever.
