You tell yourself you’ll just eat a little but as soon as you take one bite, that’s it, a rule has been broken and you are no longer successfully on a diet, or “being good”. You believe you have failed and so “all or nothing” thinking kicks in. You find yourself thinking, “I’ve blown it now, I might as well keep eating,” and so you begin to binge uncontrollably. “I’ll start again tomorrow,” you think. But tomorrow never comes because you can't seem to escape the cycle of binge eating, no matter how hard you try.
