Corrective Action for Internal Factors which cause Bulimia

Find fun activities instead of binge eating: Create a list of fun activities

Data related to binge eating internal (mood) factors. Provide a list of fun activities to diverge your attention and create your own fun activities list, share this with group members and share feedback with each other. Common causes of binge eating include poor mood and emotional states such as boredom. Boredom is an emotion that is felt in situations where there is nothing planned and nothing is done, and it is another form of negative emotion.

The effective way to manage these risks is to focus on joyful activities that change the air and prevent binge eating. Joyful activities tend to push out uncomfortable feelings and problematic thinking so that you can think more optimistically and divert the attention. At first glance, it looks like it is not a big deal, but it has a pretty strong power to stop the binge eating urge. Create and practice a challenging list of activities and try to spread the urge to binge.

Creating a list of fun activities might be difficult. But as you work on the activities on your list one by one, you will find yourself not missing the days you spent binge eating. Utilize the provided list of fun activities to create your own list.
