All binges are not alike:
A single person may have "classic" binges involving a rapid intake of a very large number of calories, in particular from high-carbohydrate foods which she usually prohibits from her diet, as well as "subjective" binges in which eating a normal meal triggers an intense fear of gaining weight accompanied by the same feelings or shame and losing control as in a "classic" binge.
Potential binge triggers:
- Elements related to eating and food
- being confronted with high-calorie foods
- feeling as if you have broken an eating rule
- thinking intensely about food
- being in the habit of bingeing
- feeling bloated after a meal
- etc.
|
- Negative thoughts and anxiety about your weight and your figure
- feeling fat
- feeling as if your clothes are too tight
- finding that you weigh more than you thought
- etc.
- A vulnerable state of mind
- being depressed
- feeling empty, lonely or isolated
- feeling anxious, tense or fearful
- being disappointed or annoyed
- experiencing a fit of rage or anger
- etc.
