How do I stop from eating so much?

[Anonymous]

I feel like I'm hungry all the time because I'm often bored even when I'm at work and I'm getting fat but I just love food?

Girl! I'm a fitness competitor. My pre-competition diet is essentially 6-8 weeks of just-barely-not-quite-starvation. So I feel you.

Blah blah blah water blah blah fiber blah blah vegetables blah blah blah. Sure. But these things are not the problem.

The problem is that (a) people are bored, and (b) food is available. It is really that simple.

These are the two most important things BY FAR.

So here is the solution.

#1:
BE VERY, VERY BUSY.
If you are doing too many things to think about food... you won't think about food.

#2:
MAKE FOOD UNAVAILABLE.
Remove it from your immediate vicinity.
Empty your cupboards.
Make it super annoying / inconvenient to procure ANY carbs or junky food.
(If you have free food available at work, I honestly don't know what you can do about that.)

I promise you, these things are much more important than everything else, even illegal appetite suppressants.

Careful, I gained 60 pounds from boredom induced binge eating at work. I've lost most of it now, but my strategy was start exercising, get the eating under control, and get a different job (one with actual set breaks, and you're not allowed to eat unless you're on one) so I could set myself up for success.

well, if you eat off of plates, grab smaller plates. drink plenty of water and tea throughout the day and before meals. fill up on healthy snacks that will expand in your stomach like sweet potatoes.

or just remember this

you are what you eat.

eat lots of raw vegetables throughout the day. take little baggies of veggies with you. seasoning makes it a bit more interesting.. . you'll be too full to pig out and you'll get extra vitamins and minerals:)
