question about overeating?

Start a food journal. Write down what you plan to eat tommorrow and at the end of the day write down what you actually ate. Look at it, study it, and analyze WHY did you eat the extra food, what emotionsl you were feeling, and how 'hungry' on a scale of 1 to 5 you really are. Then write strategies down to avoid overeating the next day. Don't calorie count, just be honest with yourself and get yourself a hobby that you enjoy to fill up extra time.

eat smaller meals more often. this will speed up ur metabolizim and make it so u dont feel uncomfortly full :) if u get an urge for food thats not exactly health food, indulge it. have only some though. if u eat slower, this will help too. it takes 20 miunter for u stomach to register to you brain and relize your full.

heres a good tip! if you have an urge for some candy, go to the store. use the machines where u put 25-50 cents in and get some candy. this gives u enough to satisfy the craving and still not spoil anything

Yes there is help. There are so many different degrees of over eating. You first need to figure out why you are over eating. what's going on at those times? Are you stressed, bored, angry, nervous etc? Then once you figure that out you can try different measures. Maybe you can leave the room and take a walk read a book, do a puzzle. Something that you have to use your hands for. If you are at a party and there is food in front of you then go mingle with someone away from the food. If it's out of site it can be out of mind and temptation will be reduced. You can also drink lots of water. Another idea is to carry mints or your tooth brush. I never want to eat right after I brush my teeth. Gum can also be handy to keep you from putting things in your mouth. Over eating can get dangerous and lead to health problems. But you recognize that you may have a problem and that's great! Try these steps and if you feel that it gets out of control and you can't figure out why then call your hospital or doc to find out where the over eaters anonymous meets. That way you will at least find out that you are not a lone. Because you aren't! Good luck!

I catch myself doing this around the time i ovulate. I will eat the kitchen sink if i think it will taste good. That may be what it is.

You could also try instead of eating 3 big meals, eat 6 small meals. Have breakfast, then a snack, lunch, then a snack, dinner, then a snack. Your body doesn't get the chance to be hungry, so you eat less and get satisfied quicker. Don't eat past 7 pm at night though, that turns right to fat. I've lost about 30lbs this way. Make them healthy though, and try to stay away from breads and starches. GL

nicely, first of all you have an eating illness (possibly Compulsive Overeating or COE) and the undertaking shouldn't restoration itself...i comprehend, i'm a recovered anorexic! COE ability eating an exccessive volume of food at as quickly as, uncontrollably. you do no longer would desire to be obese to be COE, in reality lots of those with COE are an familiar weight bc they dont devour favourite food, they binge and then starve. There are conferences you are able to bypass to, Over Eaters nameless....There are additionally some great books accessible, one i might reccommend strongly is a substance stated as food. some issues you're able to do on your very own is to make certain you devour adequate! in case you have a binge, bypass relating to something of your day or next day frequently IE do no longer bypass food. which will set you as much as be hungry and function a binge. do no longer limit this style of meals you devour or think of of meals incredibly much as good or undesirable. you will desire to get lower back into "Intuitive eating" (google this. It in simple terms is gaining awareness of to devour even though you have chose, yet end once you're finished.) thinking food is nice/undesirable ends up in issues considering the fact which you think of "nicely this cookie is undesirable I actual have allready been undesirable whats the adaptation if I actual have ten cookies." good success to you! i individually reccommend being proactive approximately this doing all your very own study and getting help, scientific care is optimal however the COE team would be superb. I had some pals that found out plenty approximately it. Google it to your area and you will hit upon a gathering. it is considerable you're looking after this now, esp considering the fact which you artwork with food.

You'll achieve your goal of losing weight thru a well balanced diet (80% alkaline foods meaning fruits/vegetables and 20% acidic foods daily), regular exercise (three/four times weekly 30 minutes each), and drinking 8 glasses of water daily. You see, water will make you feel full instead of feeling hungry. Your body is actually dehydrated due to not drinking enough water daily . . . not hungry. However, I'll go one step further to show you the best and safest way to lose weight so that your entire system will achieve a balanced pH and not be depleted of the essential minerals that it needs. Here's why.

As the typical American diet is mainly acidic, except for most fruits and vegetables, it is close to impossible for our body to attain the alkaline levels that spells good health without the proper nutrients. This being the case, it is very difficult to lose weight unless you monitor closely your body's pH. Let me explain.

An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.

It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.

Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.

The best way, though, to drink 8 glass of water daily is to mix it with Xtreme X2O, a natural and organic, coral calcium with 70 trace minerals, which transforms the pH of the water beverage to 9.9 (highly alkaline)!

You may ask why not just drink plain water? The answer is: When you drink lots of water, all of 8 glasses daily, it does not have the essential minerals (calcium, magnesium with 70 trace minerals) that your body needs to elevate its pH and therefore, alkalize your body as the pH of plain water is rather low and very acidic (pH < 7.0). "Alkalinity" equals Oxygen and Oxygen = Good Health.

If you would like to know what your pH level is, let me know. For more info, check this site:

Thanks.

There absolutely is help for this.

We all have emotional reasons for eating, so you're not alone.

The Emotional Freedom Technique (or EFT) is a very effective tool for dealing with any destructive emotion (like those that cause overeating). EFT is like acupressure that you do on yourself. You just use your fingertips to tap lightly on specific points as you focus on your emotion. Usually it takes just one round of tapping to completely resolve the emotion (and therefore, the urge to eat).

You may also want to track the days that you overeat. Are they during PMS, or your period? There may be other reasons, like imbalanced hormones, that are causing your "munchies".
