It really comes down to wanting to stop. There are things you can do to help stop both the binging and purging, as well as feel better about it. * Eat small portions of meals and small snacks at regular intervals. Controlling how much you eat will keep you from binging and the resulting feeling to purge; having a schedule will get your body into the habit of only being hungry at certain times instead of constantly. * If you feel like binging and have eaten recently, force yourself to go somewhere that you can't start a binge. * When you feel like purging, simply sit down and relax. Remind yourself that you don't need to, that it is just a habit and it isn't necessary. It may take a few attempts before you can successfully avoid it. * Think about why you started. Was it really necessary? Did it actually work? * Find something else to do. Go for a run; visit a friend; do the chores. Anything that limits your ability to eat and to think about eating is great for the job. Playing a sport will also help lower your metabolic rate and take away some of the hunger pangs.
