The Binge Eating Cycle
Feel bad (Low self esteem)—–>
Eat for comfort (External gratification)—–>
Feel fat (low self esteem projected on the body) —>
Decide to go on a diet or restrict foods or forbid certain foods (the solution or punishment)——->
Feel deprived (both physically and emotionally from the restriction of food)—>
Binge (as a result of the deprivation)–>
Feel bad for binging —>
REPEAT THE CYCLE —>
Please make sure your diet covers all macronutrients – carbohydrates, protein and fats. NEVER cut out a food group. We are made to use all of these components for our bodies to work effectively.
