Tips of How to Cope With Binging

Post binge tips for getting back on track:
1. Take a hot shower. Exfoliate, scrub away all of the toxins from your skin. Make yourself feel clean on the outside.
2. Drink lots of water the day of and the day after. I normally drink two liters a day, post binge I do three.
3. Do not purge, it will make you bloated. You will look and feel worse than if you hadn’t.
4. The next morning, work out hard. Push yourself to go a little further and a little faster. This will suck. Cake, doughnuts, ice cream…not the meal of champions.
5. Follow your normal eating plan. If you binged for just one meal, follow your plan for the rest of the day. If it was a whole day, get right back on track the next day. Do not fast or starve yourself, that will just wreak havoc on your metabolism, body, and emotions.
6. Stay the fuck away from the scale. Chances are you gained a pound or three, or maybe you gained nothing at all. Stay away from the scale for at least a week. It will only tell you lies.
7. Write down how you feel during and after your binge. Next time you feel yourself going off the rails, look at the list and hold on for dear life. You are stronger than your addiction.
I believe in myself. I believe in all of you. We are stronger than this.
