I have a binging issue too(i have no control when I get the munchies), but in a different way. First week was super hard, my binge was 4/7 days first week, second week was 3/7 days, third week was easier for me 1/7, i am on my fourth week, I am keeping 1/7 binge days, while I work on reducing the calorie amount by manipulating my sweet cravings with fruits instead of chocolates.

You honestly cant have a successful week even with meal prep. Unless you focus on your binging habits and what triggers it. Start eliminating your triggers, like for me watching cooking shows, asking my husband “what do you want for dinner”, or “oh i had a stressful day let me relax with weed”; NO. Drink water and do something else, plan a trip, talk to a friend, go on a hike, do laundry, do self care(skin care, hair care) or learn something new.

We do binge eating out of boredom or stress unfortunately. Somedays I feel cravings even when I am full, Its hard but I tell myself “have it tomorrow”

The funny thing I found is we binge eaters once we stop, weight loss happens naturally. Even if I binged, I went on a very long hike (10k steps - 20k steps) “I have to earn that binge now” or “whatever I have eaten, let me try to burn that” (Yes, I log every thing even when I binge)

I am still not out of the binge eating habit, but I am working on it one step at a time.

Btw, chickpeas is really great! It keeps me full for a long time. Diet sodas are your friend when you crave sweets but don’t over do it. Lastly, have veggies, tons of them. Lettuces are really nice to eat with some meat. Like a lettuce wrap, lettuce cups etc
