Emotions … triggers most frequently reported were feeling bored, anxious, tense, and sad.

Irregular eating.  Being overly hungry can also serve as a trigger to binge eating. Some who are not on a regular eating schedule (either through time constraints or purposeful dieting) try to satisfy their feelings of starvation with more calories than are necessary. Then, as a result of eating too many calories, they often put themselves on an overly strict diet and the cycle begins again.

If we are eating well timed smaller meals (every few hours) that have an adequate amount of low glycemic carbohydrate, a lean protein and require essential fatty acids, we are satiated and do not have blood sugar drops and spikes that trigger a binge eating or impulse eating of foods not on our plan!

Body image issues … unhealthy amount of pressure for a perfect body. There can also be overall low self-esteem. Each of these can cause excessive frustration and can trigger binge eating.

Keep it about the journey finding inner peace and happiness and not simply a physical result and this will be manageable.

What made this easy for me was the assistance of the nutritional plan that I and many of my friends use.  We call it nutritional cleansing and replenishment!  It makes getting into your self all the good stuff you require to meet your nutritional goals and getting all the bad stuff out that prevents it from happening!  Subconscious-Eating
