Binge trigger feelings

I've come up with a new phrase that totally sums up our power point in overcoming compulsive eating and getting slim for good, and it is this - 'the binge trigger feeling'. Now this phrase 'binge trigger feeling' is key, because there is a 'binge trigger feeling' behind every craving to binge. The 'binge trigger feeling' can be different for every binge or you can repeatedly get the same 'binge trigger feeling' again and again until it is really resolved.
The 'binge trigger feeling' can literally send us to the biscuit tin, or the fridge when we are already full.
It is the uncomfortable feeling that can trigger a binge. So once we are aware of the 'binge trigger feelings' we can side-track the binge. It takes practice but can be done. It is changing a habit but can be done. This is not so much about will power as it is about understanding - understanding that every time, we do, even a little bit of eating when physically full, we are dealing with a feeling, a feeling we most likely would rather not feel, we consciously or subconsciously want to suppress it. And, eating when full, does this for us. Eating when full suppresses feelings. Once we understand this dynamic, we are half way home, all we need to do now, is catch ourselves, as it were, when we are feeling those 'binge trigger feelings', and we know it's a binge trigger feeling for we will be feeling the urge to eat when full.
And so, the key question to ask is 'What feeling is this?' when these feelings and the urge to binge arises.
'What feeling is this?' cuts through to the heart of the matter and takes our attention off the binge and on to the culprit of weight gain - the binge trigger feelings and then when we ask ourselves - 'Given the fact I feel this way what would I like to do now?' - we are well on the way to giving up the binges and bringing into our lives the alternative to the binge.
