A disease like bulimia is nothing more than a psychological addiction. If you do not get rid of it, then it can lead to obesity. But recovering from this disease is not so simple. What can be done to get rid of this addiction without the help of a specialist? What is overeating related to?
This usually happens during stress, when a person begins to eat everything in a row, so as not to think about problems. Sweets, chocolates, cookies and much more starts to go into action and constantly chewing something is already in the habit.
To get rid of this habit, first of all, you need to unlearn how to combine food with any other activity. No need to chew and read, watch TV, sit at the computer. For food, you need to take time and eat calmly, without being distracted by anything else.
Between meals, you must take breaks in 3-4 hours. Gradually you get used to it and eating every twenty minutes will no longer be necessary. This is done so that the stomach has time to digest food and is not constantly overloaded.
In no case do you need to go on hard diets, which are now a lot on the Internet. The promise that in a short time you can lose a lot of extra pounds that will not return, you should not believe. Women who resort to such diets starve themselves, suffer, and when the diet ends, they break down and begin to overeat, which again leads to excess weight.
You can defeat addiction if you refuse junk food, sweets. If there are no health problems, then it is better to eat spicy foods that improve metabolism. It is necessary to develop willpower. But you should not torture yourself at all. Sometimes you can treat yourself to your favorite food, but in moderation.
In more advanced cases of bulimia, a person wants to eat constantly and becomes addicted to food as an addict. He constantly needs a "dose".
In such cases, becoming a slave to food is dangerous and it is better to consult a specialist who will help to overcome addiction.
