Binge Eating No More - 6 Easy Tips to Lose Weight and End Late Night Binge Eating



Do you find yourself drawn back into the kitchen after dinner even though you are not hungry?

Binge Eating

Do you open your fridge and peek around in there looking for something to snack on even when you are full?

Do the foods in your kitchen cupboards call your name and compel you to go eat them late at night?

You may have the unhealthy habit of late night eating.You are not alone! Most of America has this habit and eating extra calories late at night is one of the major causes of weight gain and obesity.

Usually when you find yourself drawn to eat when you are not hungry it is a sign of boredom, not true hunger.

After fighting and winning what felt like a life long battle with binge eating, I developed a few ways to help me get my mind off mindless snacking and late night binge eating.

Here are few tips that may help you too.

-Keep your hands busy with something you like to do. It could be knitting or a craft project, or gardening (it is kind of hard to eat when your hand are buried in soil!).

-Do a quick cleanup of a small area of your home. I like to de-clutter small areas of my home on a regular basis. If I take on too big of a project at night it can be overwhelming - but a small area that takes fifteen to thirty minutes to re-organize gives me a sense of accomplishment and takes my mind off of food.

-Give yourself a manicure or a pedicure
-Go for a nice evening walk. Enjoy the quiet of the evening and wind down from your busy day.
-Read a book that you enjoy
-Take a bath. Add some wonderful bath oil or bubbles to your bath water and enjoy the luxury of relaxation. Give your mind and body a refreshing rest.

Now, remember that changing a late night eating habit will take some time.

Make yourself a list with options that YOU enjoy of actions you can take to replace late night binging.

Be patient with yourself and remember that it will take repetition to change bad habits to good ones. Keep choosing activities that build up your confidence and sense of self and I promise that you will not only lose extra weight but you will feel really good about yourself too!
