I cut out carbs for a little bit to get my appetite under control . . .

keep a food journal. this way you are accountable for everything you eat.

talk to your doctor about it, there could be some other underlying reason.

Eat on a schedule and address the underlying issues behind your out of control eating.

Eating on a schedule (4 - 6 times a day, but smaller meals and snacks) seriously helps control hunger. If you have your meals planned out and the times you'll eat planned out, it will help you stay on track. Plus, eating so often helps keep the cravings away.

It's NOT easy, but it's doable and will get easier with time. This is something I seriously struggle with, too. FM me if you want a buddy to chat with! I have the same problem and would love someone to talk to!

Keeping a food journal helps a lot, too. I use www.fitday.com -- You can log all your food and activity there!

I honestly have to tell myself over and over, thats its just food and I dont HAVE to have it. I want it, but I need to eat healthy and lose the weight.

After the weight is lost, maybe I can splurge on junk food - its still goingto be available so for right now, in this moment, I cannot have it.


Its all a mind game

I also carry around a skinny pic of me and have one taped to my food cabinets. Although I dont really have jumk food in my house, I can get greedy with 100 calorie packs!

I try to exercise, it reduces my stress level which is usually why I want to overeat in the first place.
