The Binge Eating Mindset - Keeping a Journal
Whether you want to stop binge eating, stop smoking, lose weight, etc, there is one thing that you will find that is common between everything and that is…
Your mindset.
Your mindset plays the most vital role because it starts to change your thinking, it allows you to see your life as it would be if you didn’t binge eat.
When I was still binge eating, working on my mindset was the best thing that I did for myself. I knew that if my mindset stayed the same way I would continue to binge eat. It’s such a no brainer really. The way I thought for so long was having me reach for binge food to ease any situation instead of focusing on fixing the circumstance. Something had to change…
Changing the way we think is never an easy task, but it’s the best thing that we can do when we need to change something important in our lives.
For me, binge eating allowed me to have a low self-esteem and not love myself. It was so detrimental in my life. I started keeping a journal so that my negative feelings would be written down somewhere. While it’s great to write in your journal about how you want your life to be when you aren’t binge eating, it’s also really, really important to capture your reality too. It’s such a freeing feeling and those feelings need to come out somehow.
Start keeping a journal today about your day-to-day life and write down everything good and bad in it. Use it as an escape instead of bingeing. I noticed right away about how good I felt after writing - Try it out and see how it works for you!
