Bouncing Back from a Binge


 

 

       We all have experienced those days when we eat just a little (or maybe a lot) more than we know we are hungry for. Maybe it was Thanksgiving and the turkey was just so moist, the mashed potatoes so rich and buttery we couldn't resist. Or a birthday party with cake where just one piece wasn’t enough! It may have been a normal day, out with friends for pizza where the aromas and setting had you scarfing down slice after slice. Maybe you had an extra busy or stressful day at work and that bag of M&M’s on the counter was calling your name! No matter the circumstance, we can all relate to that “loosening the belt” sensation and guilt that comes along with it. Overeating is never a fun feeling, physically or mentally- but I promise these sensations do pass! In the
meantime, however, how do we handle the full belly and shameful thoughts that arise? Do you beat yourself up for the binge? Swear off the triggering food? Restrict the next meal? Go “burn off” the extra calories at the gym? These are all common “solutions” for bingers, although they are NOT helpful in the long run as they encourage future binges to occur! We want to end the binge-restrict cycle, not promote its continuation. So let’s discover how we can do this!

            First, I want you to LET GO of the guilt and MOVE ON from the binge. What happened is in the past. The food has been eaten and there is nothing you can do to change this fact (so please don't try!).  I promise you, one day of overeating will not make you gain weight or effect your overall health in the slightest bit. Binging will, however, cause weight gain and negative health consequences when it is repeated time after time. So the best thing we can do now is to let it go, stop thinking about it and learn how to break the binging cycle so it is less likely to occur in the future. The important key here is to let go of the guilt and shame that arises from the binge episode. 

            Next, we should explore why you felt the urge to binge in the first place. There are many explanations for why a binge may occur. Some may include: 

  • A busy or stressful day
  • Skipping meals or snacks, leading to excessive hunger at later meals
  • Current dieting, restriction of calories or avoidance of specific foods/food groups
  • Increase in activity which is not being met by adequate calories leading to excessive hunger 
  • A restless night of sleep
  • Feelings of loneliness, depression or shamefulness
  • Feelings of excitement, joy or celebration
  • Settings- being at a party, out to eat or with friends and family

These are not the only reasons for a binge, everyone is different and their personal reasons for overeating vary greatly. Never the less, the effect is the same- a bloated belly and guilty conscience. 

            If you are able to determine the reason behind the binge, you may be able to stop it from happening again. For example, if you recognize that a stressful day caused your desire to overeat, then the next time you are extra stressed you can recognize this emotion and take the appropriate actions to relieve the stress such as by taking a walk, a calming bath or talking to a close friend. If you over ate due to missing a meal earlier in the day, then you may want to pre-plan out your meals or keep snacks on hand to ensure you never become too hungry. If you binged due to the situation you were in (maybe it was a holiday or birthday) then be aware that you are prone to eat more when surrounded by abundant amounts of food or friends and carry this conscience reminder with you- although I think eating a little extra at Thanksgiving, a birthday party or other special occasion is pretty normal! But what is NOT normal is to feel overcome by guilt and shame or acting by restricting or purging when you have done so.

            Last, we want to continue living! After we move on and discover the reason behind the binge, we want to keep eating and moving as you normally do. Don't feel the need to eat less at the next meal, avoid the tempting foods or exercise excessively to “work it off”.  Any of these punishments for overeating will end up causing you to continue in the restrict-binge cycle again and again. Studies show that when people restrict foods as a method of controlling their weight, they tend to obsess over those foods and binge on them which leads to guilt and the need to restrict that food again! This cycle goes on and on and will
not be broken until we stop trying to “make up” for the previous binge. Instead of restricting at the following meals, listen to your body and when you are truly hungry again, choose to nourish your body! Make a healthy, balanced meal that will satisfy and fulfill you! Don't try to restrict calories or certain foods because it will eventually lead to another binge. Nourish your body. Move on. Stop the guilt. And ultimately, lets learn to break the cycle!

    Using this medium to appreciate the effectiveness and quality service delivery of Trojanhack Cyber Security Company. Who was very instrumental in recovering my stolen BITCOIN and USDT from online fraudsters pretending to be Russian oligarchs.

    I was so lunkheaded to key in to their proposal and thus made me squandered a staggering amount of $187,640 to them.

    Every attempt to travel to russia to meet up always ended with stories from them. It was a very tough 7 weeks with them. They drilled the hell out of me.

    Later I realized I’ve been a victim of their shell game. So unsound I got scammed by such setup.

    All thanks to Trojan hack cyber security company who was able to recover my lost USDT and BITCOIN within 3 days after a friend recommended them, that he got a review of their services from Google.

    Thanks to TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY for bringing tranquility back to my life.

    “I’m Charles Darwin by name and i’m writing to share my incredible experience with a professional crypto recovery service know as SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY . In 2020, I invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency wallet worth more than 3 million united states dollars in todays market value, but unfortunately, I lost my seed phrase. I had written it down on one piece of paper and stored it in a safe, but somehow it got misplaced.

    I was devastated and felt helpless. I had tried to contact the wallet’s support team, but they were unable to assist me in recovering my funds without the seed phrase. I had also tried to use various online tools and software to recover my seed phrase, but none of them worked.

    That’s when I stumbled upon a professional crypto recovery service. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and testimonials from other satisfied customers, I decided to give it a try.

    The recovery process was surprisingly efficient and effective. The team at the recovery service was highly professional and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. They used advanced techniques and tools to try and recover my seed phrase, including brainwallet recovery as they used specialized software to try and recover my seed phrase from my brainwallet and they also made use of wallet reconstruction as they reconstructed my wallet from scratch, using advanced forensic techniques to recover my private keys. Within a few weeks, I received an email from the recovery service stating that they had successfully recovered my seed phrase. I was overjoyed and couldn’t believe that I had gotten my funds back.

    The recovery service also provided me with a detailed report of the recovery process, including the steps they took to recover my seed phrase. I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process.

    I would highly recommend this crypto recovery service to anyone who has lost their seed phrase or has lost access to their crypto funds. They are truly experts in their field, and their services are worth every penny. Kindly contact them through any of the following means
