Binge eating

your vegetarian diet might have something to do with it perhaps your not getting enough calories, fat, ect so you binge on other foods or on vegetarian foods to try and feel fuller

Adopt a Healthy Attitude Towards Food Step 1Talk to your physician about how to develop healthy eating habits. This may require establishing a fixed meal time as well as limiting the number of calories you eat each day.

Step 2Think before you eat to help get in touch with your urges. Many times, binge eating is used to deal with issues such as stress or depression. By pausing to think before taking a bite, you may be able to determine whether you are really hungry or just eating out of an emotional need.

Step 3Talk to a counselor or therapist trained in the field of eating disorders to discuss possible eating strategies. You may be asked to keep a food journal, documenting what you eat, as well as how you feel emotionally as you eat. By reviewing these entries, your therapist may be able to help you prevent further binge eating.

Step 4Prevent yourself from adopting unhealthy eating habits by recognizing the feeling of fullness. Eat slowly and stop eating once you have eaten enough to feel full. Remember that it takes up to 20 minutes for your mind to recognize that the stomach is full. By slowing down your eating pace, you will give your brain time to catch up with your stomach.

Step 5Reach out for the support of others by joining a binge eating support group. You may find referrals to these groups through your physician, therapist or counselor. Remember that support groups are not recommended for every patient, so be sure to discuss this option with your doctor before joining.
