Binge eating · Quit Binge Eating
What to do after a hard food moment without punishment
Do not respond to a binge by attacking yourself or inventing a punishment plan. Write down what happened, care for any immediate medical need, and return to the eating plan your qualified care team gave you.
If binge eating feels frequent, distressing, or out of control, contact a healthcare professional or eating-disorder service. An app can hold notes and grounding tools; it cannot diagnose or treat binge eating disorder.
Choose care over compensation
Do not create a new diet, fasting rule, or exercise punishment in the aftermath. NHS treatment guidance warns against dieting during treatment because it can make stopping binge eating harder.
If you already work with a clinician, follow the plan you made together. If you do not, use the source below to learn which care options you can discuss.
Write observations, not accusations
Record the situation, feelings, and practical needs around the moment. Replace “I failed” with something you can act on, such as “I skipped the meal plan my clinician gave me” or “I need support after work.”
Know what the app cannot do
Quit Binge Eating can keep your reason, selected triggers, grounding entry, and check-ins together. It does not give calorie targets, diagnose an eating disorder, or replace treatment.
