What is the theory behind this Binge Eating Disorder Worksheet?
Binge eating disorder (BED) is an eating order that is characterised by the consumption of an abnormally large amount of food while being unable to stop. This is not the same as an occasional overeating episode but something that happens consistently leading to multiple health and psychological issues. It can be likened to a compulsive action in the way that individuals feel the urge to keep eating at all costs.
How will the worksheet help?
Among the many tools used to treat Binge Eating Disorder in therapy is making a list of actions or behaviours that can replace the urge to overeat. This worksheet will help clients to come up with alternative actions that they think can help them both in high risk situations or when they feel the urge to overeat.
How to use the worksheet?
Think of all the different ways that can help you distract yourself from giving in to the urge to binge eat. Write down those activities that can be helpful alternatives that you can perform in face of your binge eating triggers. Test them out and write which worked and which did not.
