I am jut coming out of a 5 month long binge cycle of stuffing my face full of everything. Seriously, I spent so much money on good, was even shoplifting food again. It was bad. I wish I could tell you the secret cure but unfortunately I go from one extreme to the other. Both feel so good to me. I still do get highly tempted though. Seeing food is a trigger, someone mentioning a cupcake is a trigger... I am triggering myself now. All I can give you is distract, distract yourself like crazy (healthily... I am prone to go to worse things than food). Do what you can to keep your mind occupied and not focused on food. And when the craving comes, do anything. Go for a walk even if it's just around the house, brush your teeth, if you have pets or kids they are good distractions... Tho triggers as well sometimes. God I know it's hard. I have been in the obese category and I didn't want to leave the house at all.. I just had to force myself. I can't work out at home I need to be at a gym, and being out in the real world, with real people is so helpful. And while you are working out you can release at least some bad emotions, even if you can only walk for 15 minutes at a time, slowly you will get better.
