What to do with bulimia

Overeating is a common problem among people. Occasional overeating will not cause any harm to the human body, but if binge eating disorder exists for a long time, it will cause a certain burden on the body and even certain health problems, the most notable of which is obesity. So, how to treat binge eating disorder? The following will introduce it to you!

1. Psychotherapy

As family members and friends, we should give care, understanding and help to the patients. Mental strength is great when you get encouragement and support from those around you, your family, and your friends.

A type of psychotherapy called CBT may be most effective for people with binge eating disorder.

You must understand from the bottom of your heart that if you have bulimia and need to lose weight, you must understand the order of priority and solve the bulimia first before talking about losing weight.

Both weight loss and treatment require a goal, which is spiritual sustenance. It is necessary to specify a goal. For example, if you perform very well today, you can give yourself a red flag or a small red flower to motivate yourself to keep working hard. Of course you can also specify a score:

Eating until you are 80% full is the feeling of being satisfied when your appetite is at its peak, and the pleasure is rated 10 points;

When you are very full, you basically have no desire and the pleasure is only 8 points;

When you are 12% full and a little nauseous, you will rate the pleasure as 2 points;

When you are 15% full, you feel really greasy and the pleasure is 0 points;

When you are 20% full, you will basically feel pain and abnormal psychology, and the pleasure will be -10 points.

2. Physical therapy

Patients can have a gastric balloon implanted in the hospital on a voluntary basis. The water balloon is usually about 400-600ML, which stimulates the stomach nerves and produces a feeling of fullness.

It is still possible to physically stop the patient from binge eating. This can help patients avoid feelings of self-blame and guilt and improve depressive symptoms.

Especially in a new environment, people's desire for food will be smaller. If conditions permit, you can try changing the environment. For example, moving and temporarily living in another home.

Except for normal meal times, do not enter the kitchen, watch food shows, read newspapers, etc., and stay away from any trace of food.

Find some supportive friends to do things with, who can help you and pass the time.

If you really can't resist it, you have to choose sweets, and try to buy low-sugar, low-fat or sugar-free ones.

3. Drug treatment

Antidepressants can improve symptoms to a certain extent. The only drug is: PROZAC (FDA-approved). China has done little research and use on this drug.

This drug improves the patient's side symptoms, such as anxiety and depression.
