Introduction

Losing weight can be a struggle, and overcoming binge eating habits can make it even harder. This Reddit user, trizzlemanizzle, shares her inspiring journey of dropping 37 pounds in six months while tackling her binge eating problems.

The Journey

Trizzlemanizzle's journey started with the realization that the urge to self-medicate with food was drilled deep within her. Her first step in addressing her problem was to stop restricting her food intake. Instead of eating smaller and smaller amounts of food, she increased her goal caloric intake and stopped cutting out whole food groups. Additionally, she tried ditching the all-or-nothing thinking and started viewing one slice of pizza as one piece of delicious pizza, not a dietary failure.

Overcoming Binge Eating

To overcome her binges, Trizzlemanizzle made a list of go-to active activities. Going for a long walk with loud music, painting nails or knitting and calling friends for a chat. These activities soothed her desire to eat beyond what was reasonable. Importantly, she stopped beating herself up after slipping up and bingeing. Finally, the most effective approach for Trizzlemanizzle was talking to people honestly about her binge eating habits, not professionals, just friends.

Conclusion

Trizzlemanizzle's changed lifestyle granted her impressive results over six months. It also proves that recovery from binge eating is not linear, and daily hard work is required. Her monthly results of weight loss and her final goal weight are motivational for anyone, regardless of their starting point. If you are struggling, try out some of her tips, and don't forget that success takes time and effort.

Final Thoughts

Trizzlemanizzle's Reddit thread attracted many encouraging comments. Her progress pictures show a significant difference, but the most significant transformation is in the change of the person behind them. Overcoming binge habits and building a fulfilled and healthy life is an ongoing process that is well worth the effort.
