work it where you can . . .

are you setting yourself up daily?

lets work it where we do have choice!

3 types of binge urges:

1. Physical deprivation

This is brought about by restricting your food intake. When your body is lacking certain nutrients you will feel the urge to binge as a result. Your body has to restore what has been lost.

It is important to note that even though you may be binging on large amounts of food, due to purging your body may still be starving nutritionally.

2. Emotional discomfort

This is binging to control or numb unpleasant moods or feelings. An example of an emotional binge would either chronic (a family member is ill) or acute (you failed an exam). Your body is cranking out adrenaline and cortisol. Cortisol increases your appetite for fatty and sugary foods. So, if you are depressed, your body will also use the food as a way to temporarily increase endorphins in your brain.

3. Mental deprivation

This is a result of avoiding certain foods, these may be the foods you really want to eat. An example of a mental deprivation would be feeling like you are denying yourself foods that you are craving, even though your diet may be 100% healthy.
