We’ve all been there. You just indulged in a delicious food you love and accidentally went a little overboard. After overeating, you now feel completely stuffed and uncomfortable.

Whether it’s too much dinner or a few too many Sweetarts, it’s not a nice feeling.

Sometimes your binge is associated with negative feelings, such as guilt or shame.

Because I think it’s important that we’re kind to ourselves, it helps to have a game plan for when this happens. While negative emotions are sometimes helpful in initiating a positive change, everyone overeats from time to time.

So rather than beat yourself up about it – when you’re already in physical pain – try turning it into a positive with these suggestions!
