Binge eating

NAS88206

I’m 42. I’m self diagnosed autistic, waiting for assessment. I binge eat when I’m anxious/stressed. My downfall is chocolate. It makes me fed up. I want to stop. Just wondered if anyone has any help advice support? Thanks in advance.

  • Slowly darken the chocolate. Start with 70% and continue to go darker. You have to be willing to experiment with this, but over time it may change your desire for chocolate as darker chocolate can have a good amount of minerals in it, and produce a different craving. 

     Sometimes it can help to swap what's available, but binging has many different sources. Sometimes the only thing for this is to force a new habit. But this stuff can be quite difficult.
