Here are some things you can do to help loose weight:
1. Chug water and do abdominal workouts (crunches, sit-ups, ect.) when you want to binge.
2. Sucking in burns calories.

4. Eat only half of the food on your plate. This teaches control.
5. Eat on a smaller plate than normal. This tricks yourself into thinking you've eaten a full plate of food.
6. Make your food nasty by putting too much salt or spice on it, or putting food close together so that they touch.
7. Try to take at least 3 cold showers a week. Warming up burns calories.
8. Keeping good posture burns calories.
