a few days ago, my appetite completely disappeared and I’ve spent some time thinking about what made that happen, so I can do it again, and maybe help some of you too. it’s literally so simple, you just need to keep it up.
first thing, water water water. you need to constantly drink water. always keep a water bottle beside you, and use water like a snack. instead of snacking on something, drink some water. it keeps your stomach full.
also, just don’t eat very often. I’ve found that starving myself completely just makes the risk of bingeing bigger, so eat something. I usually eat oatmeal without any type of fruits or other things whatsoever. I don’t even put salt in it. It makes you get used to tasteless food, and when you eat something sweet you won’t be able to stand the sweetness. I also try to eat only two times a day. breakfast/lunch at ~12 , dinner at ~6. late dinner keeps the late night snack cravings away.
when you eat small amounts of food, and keep your stomach full with water, your brain will change your perception of what “full” means for you. if you eat very little for a few days, your brain will get used to it and you will get fuller faster, and less hungry. you just need to keep it up for a few days before you notice any change.
these are some things I think helps me a lot to stay on track. I stayed binge free for a whole week (i count 1000+ kcal as a binge day lol) while staying close to these rules/tips.
I hope you got something out of this post, stay safe bbys<3
