I usually have a low/zero calorie drink like a soda nearby if I’m at home doing nothing since that’s when I binge the most

you can taper off junk food by buying less and less unhealthy stuff each time you go to the store until eventually you don’t have anymore unhealthy stuff in your house. this worked to reduce my cravings a lot. if you’re a big snacker, try replacing some of your less healthy snacks with something like fruit or some low fat greek yogurt. i like to make greek yogurt bowls with berries and granola, or have those little fruit cups like oranges or applesauce. avoid soda and super sweet coffees too

I noticed a lot of my binging was coming from not enough balanced or filling meals. I now try to follow the general rule of having protein, complex carbs, fiber, and a healthy fat for most meals. If Im still a bit hungry I’ll add a bit more food to my plate or sometimes as a treat ill do dessert (esp if ive had a long week)

for staying consistent with workouts, don’t rely on motivation. nobody can stay motivated 24/7. what you need is discipline. discipline doesn’t care how you feel, you do it whether you want to or not. ESPECIALLY when you don’t want to. inevitably, and sooner than you think, 5 years will have passed. you’ll either stick with it and have your dream body, or you’ll give up and fall right back to square one. it is up to you which outcome you get.

even when you really don’t want to, here’s what you can try: stand up, grab your keys, get in your car, start it, drive to the gym, and get your workout in. works every single time. there’s no secret to it. you just have to do it. if you can’t do that then you will never achieve your goals and you might as well give up right now. it’s the truth. if it sounds hard, you’re right. it’s hard as fuck. but that’s what it takes. on the bright side, it does get easier the more you do it.

I use Pinterest a lot and TikTok for meal ideas but some of the ones I would make that felt filling/stopped me from binging were tuna bowls (white rice, tuna mixed with siracha and mayo, avocado, seaweed strips, kimchi, and sometimes a side of soup like miso or chicken stock with like bok choy or mushrooms)

Or I’d do like a sandwich (I like pesto chicken a lot) with salad or some veg on the side, a bit of fruit, and maybe some like kettle chips. I just found that when I really prioritized fiber and protein in my meals I felt full longer and didn’t really need to binge since my meal was balanced and composed of whole foods
