Idk if you are gaining weight, loosing weight, eating regularly, eating irregularly, binging all the time, never binging, purging, or not purging

1. Stay calm

Try to do some deep breathing. Inhale and exhale. Staying calm and avoiding panic when the urge to binge comes always helps me maintain a clear head, and remember what my goals are. Stick to them, no matter what.

2. Distraction

There are so many ways to distract yourself from a binge! My favourites are to immediately watch an episode of Supersize vs Superskinny, do deep breathing exercises, do my hobbies like reading, listening to ED music (Eg Paper Bag, Me and Mia, Bleed Like Me etc) and of course, looking at thinspo. Going through tags just helps me stay focused when I feel my control slipping. And I promise, I will not lose control and binge.

3. Affirmations

Surprisingly powerful stuff. The things we say to ourselves, and the things we say out loud hold power, because the universe (or whatever you believe in) is always listening. Using affirmations helps a lot with keeping my head clear and my desires clear. I want skinny. I want to lose weight. So, the affirmations I make are aligned with that, and I repeat them to myself until I regain control from the urge to binge. I repeat each one until I believe it completely.

My favourites are simple: I am skinny. I am in control. I have power over my urges. I am so skinny and thin, my waist is so small. I have the perfect body, so thin and light. I am light, I weigh nothing. I am pure.

4. Not Undereating

This one, is an important one. We all need a good amount of calories to survive, and if you don't want to die anytime soon, you better be feeding your body at least a bare minimum of food. Mixing up my calories have helped tremendously. Some days I low restrict at around 100-200 calories. Perhaps the following days, I'll go up to 500, and sometimes even 800. It's pretty motivating to even allow yourself a day to look forward to for having a small binge or a big meal. I like to use upcoming birthdays and celebrations to look forward to, and low restrict in the weeks leading up to it. Cycling between low restricting and high restricting (800-1100) has helped my body think its receiving food, therefore not complaining and begging me to eat by triggering a binge. What your body thinks is important too, so try to listen to it sometimes and eat that piece of fruit or that slice of pizza (as long as its not a binge trigger). Stop wasting your money on foods that trigger your binges, and take care of your body.
