How do I stop myself from eating?

[Anonymous]

Its not even like i'm hungry, but I still eat and eat and eat.

You force yourself to only eat when you're hungry. Are you talking about "snacking"? Lol. Yeah, that's a bit hard to stop.

It's simply better if you find something to occupy your time. Watching television is more than likely going to lead to snacking and so is listening to music and being on the computer.

So something that occupies your HANDS would be good. Like a book. :)

Maybe you are binge eating. Try eating at alternative times. Or keep the food away where you can't reach it

try eating more filling foods things high in fiber brown rice apples tomatoes also when you eat things like white bread and things with lots of sugar it can make your blood sugar go up which can make you hungry after only a short while so if you eat bad food its just going to make you eat and eat

look for something interesting you can focus on. or just decide not to eat... the last one sounds stupid but it actually helps me.

Is there a special reason why you're eating? Like stress, boredom, craving?

It could either be stress or boredom I think

Stress- try to deal with the issues/problems you have to take care of, it's much better when you finally get it done than just thinking that you really should deal with it, that's just stressing you out more. If you're feeling overwhelmed with stress, do something you find relaxing, maybe try do som yoga. Think about something else, and don't bury the stress into food.

Boredom- Brush your teeth, then you'll feel less craving for food because you want to keep that fresh feeling. Take a walk/run/anything, watch a movie, call a friend, go to another room, but try to stay out of the kitchen and don't have food/sweets in other rooms than your kitchen. Hope this helps.
