Stressed woman
It's helpful to look at your eating patterns and try to work out what is causing you to eat. Are you feeling sad or stressed? How often do you have these feelings? Keeping a diary about what you eat and how you feel before and after you eat can help you see what triggers your bingeing.

Women doing yoga to combat comfort eating
When you experience negative emotions try other activities such as exercise, drawing or writing, instead of heading straight to the fridge. Try to avoid isolating yourself in front of the TV where it's very easy to keep getting up and going to the kitchen. Even something as simple as going for a short walk can help you feel better.

Woman reading to stop boredom eating
It's quite common for us to eat when there's not a lot going on. If you find yourself doing this regularly, think of some things you can do to alleviate the boredom. As children we often told our parents we were bored, and the common reply was usually: 'Well, find something to do!' The same rule applies. Ring a friend, play a game, read a book - it's not important what you do, just that you 'do' something.

Two friends talking about their eating disorder
By talking to your local doctor or a counsellor you should be able to work out some of the reasons why you may be comfort eating and different ways to manage it. Once you've taken the first step it can be surprising how quickly you begin to change your coping strategies.
For further information talk to your GP, psychologist, counsellor or dietician. Your local phone book should have the contact details for these people in your local area, or contact Beat (formerly the Eating Disorders Association)
