I eat without being hungry. I want to stop any advice?

[Anna_Drouga]

I eat because I saw someone eat something and I got jealous, I eat when I go home (late) from work , I eat when I watch movies, I eat when I am bored.

My schedule I go to work at 15.30

I finish work at 01.00 usually but there are day that I finish later

I go home and I stay up till 04.00-05.00 then I go to sleep and I wake up 14.00-15.00.

I tried to sleep earlier but I can't I just lay on bed and try to stop thinking but I fail and I slep at 04.00

I want to lose weight and become a morning person. Any tips?

YES! I've had this problem. The trick is to slowly start habits. Here are the habits I instilled in myself. Only move on the the next habit after the previous one is rock solid.

1. My first step was to continue eating as I did, BUT it had to be at the table and I couldn't watch TV or focus on anything but eating. That actually helped my weight go down a tiny bit.

2. Then after that habit was extremely instilled in me I picked times I could eat. My times became 6am-breakfast, 10pm-snack, 12 pm-lunch, 3pm-snack, and 6pm-dinner. I was still eating whatever I wanted to but it had to be at the table and only at those times. (if I missed a time then I would just have to wait for the next one and I couldn't make it up).

3.After that, the meals were to last from 30-40 minutes and the snacks-15 minutes.

by now I was eating way less without noticing it. I decided not to weigh myself during this experiment but I noticed the difference.

4. Start working on nutrition.

a. The first thing I would suggest is to stop eating desserts for about 2-3 weeks. Don't eat sweets or candy or anything like that. After a while, you'll stop liking things that are super sweet. These make you eat more when you're not hungry

b. For breakfast, don't eat bread or sweet things.

Here is what I am doing right now and its working really well.

Breakfast-Japanese styled

miso Soup

Rice (I like forbidden rice which is actually Chinese..I think)

Green tea

salad if I have room in my tummy

Snack

Fruit and Green Tea

Lunch -peruvian styled

Lentils and rice with maybe a cucumber and lemon salad with some beet juice for a drink

Snack

Protein shake mixed with baking chocolate power (unsweetened)

I use almond milk

Dinner

Keep it lighter than the lunch

It changes from day to day. Have fun with this! I suggest looking at foods from countries that are considered extremely healthy

tonight I had stir fried kimchi forbidden rice mixed with scrambled eggs that has fresh basil and caramelized onions with them. I added a bit of soy sauce and a few drops of chili sauce.

Good luck! Also this helped me with my sleeping and being a morning person because if I didn't wake up in time to eat breakfast then I didn't get breakfast which, when you ate at 6 the night before, leaves you super hungry!

Even if you're working late, still keep to this. Maybe alter the time but by no more than an hour or two!

Um, if I figured out the timing correctly, it looks like your job makes it difficult for you to get a normal sleep schedule in. Most people who work a 9 - 5 (or I guess 17.00) job only wake up an hour or so before going to work, which is exactly what you are doing. If you want to wake up earlier you just have to make yourself get up earlier and build a new habit out of it, but it may be harder with your work hours.

As far as eating without being hungry there are a few things you could try. You should try drinking water instead because a lot of the time that we think we are hungry we are really just thirsty. If you drink more water you will feel full more often and I guess it also occupies you during times that you are bored and would eat otherwise. You could also try chewing gum when you get urges like that as it would similarly occupy you and stop you from eating anything else. You really just need to become more conscious of what you are doing so that you can think about it and realize that you really aren't hungry and you don't need to eat.

dont eat simple as tht and do excercise in the morning

diets don't work the reason humans build fat cells is to prepare for timesof famine and in tht time of famine your body feeds off your fat, fat is comsumed by your body first if you don't eat you will lose weight its what the human body was programmed to do

dont eat but drink water and when super hungry eat small portions of bread or fruit a small salad would be acceptable as well

at first I stopped eating for 14 days and usually get 1-2 hours of sleep drank tons of energy drinks, this slowed my fast metabolism to super slow. then all I would eat junk food, cause it tastes so good. I gain so much weight, but its fun! when I'm bored,emotional or when people give me food I stuff myself, usally with junk food and it feel so good!

[Anna_Drouga]

I miss junk food so much but I don't miss my previous weight at all so junk food< lost kilos. Use that as your motive. If you need more tips message me.

I have the same problem as you.

- My diet is sh*t because of how much I would eat, not exercise like I use too, and on top of that they're unhealthy food.

I'm a morning person, for the most part. You just gotta force yourself to wake up and hit the showers. Or stretch at least..

Drink a lot of water.. have you tried having small healthy snacks and/or fruits in between?

[foxsquirrel]

Very simple my dear, get a normal day job and you become a morning person. You don't need a lot of brains to think of this but you need to make the change.

[hotxos]

i can't stop it and talked to my doctor about it and he said it is self control, and I don't have any at all.

Your body adapts to the time you normally go to sleep. You have to train your body to get used to the change.
