Chew gum, drink water, run anything you really want to eat but know you shouldn't under the tap, then see if you want to eat it.  Eat rice cakes and dried bananas. Take off all your clothes and stand in front of a full-length mirror.  Go tight jeans shopping.  Find something else to concentrate on.  Lock your fridge and give the key to someone that is cruel and heartless.  Drink milk. Also, go to 2424milk.com.  Good ideas there!

Sometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don't remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit. \n\nIf snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don't drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two "healthy meals" a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried. \n\nAlso, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!\n\nI hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

I just lost 50 pounds since last January and I've kept it off for 4 months. I found the best way to get over cravings is to find your inspiration and keep it in front of you.\n\nI had an old picture of me when my body was in its best form. I kept copies of it on my fridge and in my wallet. Late night snacks got stopped with the reminder on the fridge and when I went into my wallet for money for late night Chinese food with the guys, there was the picture telling me to say no. Worked for me! Best of Luck!

It sounds like you have an addiction to sugar, and don't feel alone, many people do!  Fact is, this is an addiction, and not good for you, as you're overloading your body with way too much sugar.  You will need to start eating different foods, and cut way back on the sugars.  \nTry cutting all the cravings that you're eating in half, you will really seriously need to start eating better, for instance lunch, maybe a Subway, so that you're not hungry enough to eat the sweets at work.  I'm thinking that if you will make your meal times better, you won't be as hungry either.  Eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Maybe you aren't hungry for breakfast because of your eating in the night.  If you don't eat in the night, you'll be ready for breakfast.  If you straighten your meals out, you won't be eating so much otherwise.  Hope this makes some sense........

Save the stuff that you seem to love to munch on forever for special occasions only (I stopped eating fries and chips & salsa and it really helped me keep the extra weightage down, it was really hard at first but I set my mind to it and now it doesn't bother me at all).  \n\nExercise, don't eat large portions (eat in moderation), and always eat a variety of food (don't have the same meal more than twice per week).\n\nDiet pills are only temporary, and after a experimental usage phase taking them can actually lead you to gain more weight when you stop taking them. \n\nSlimming drinks are good substitutions for meals, but if you drink that then remember that you can't eat anything at all during that meal period (because it is a meal replacement drink).\n\nThe worst thing for weight gain is having those down periods when you chow down on bad foods, if you can get your body used to eating healthier you will adjust and actually start to like it, and it will make you feel better!  \n\nhope this helps!

The first step is recognizing that you're addicted.\nNow you have to watch your behavior. What provokes you (what pushes your buttons) so that you do whatever it is you're addicted to?  \nAnd what do you get out of your addiction? We don't do anything if we don't get something out of it.\nYou didn't say what your addiction is.  You might want to see a CDAC-a certified Drug and Addiction Counselor.  Even if it's not drugs or alcohol, these people can really help. I went to one for 11 months for eating.  Although I still don't feel like I have an eating addiction, she did show me ways I use food inappropriately.

You have to keep telling yourself you can do this.  I have to get rid of the choccy biccies and stuff otherwise I do eat them all.  It's probably not a bad idea to stop the kids having them anyway.  Get something to replace them that you can have which are low in fat, not as costly as a chocolate biscuit.  Weight watchers do individually wrapped packets of choc bics and loads of other stuff.  I find that if I have to open a packet it usually stops me eating loads as there are only two in the packet.  We eat the jumbo snack-a-jacks, caramel flavour, as well.  Get a packet of tic tacs or something similar and drink loads!  I can't praise water enough or even cups of tea.  If you feel full you are less likely to go picking and of course drinks do that in a low calorie way.  I like plain fizzy water and there are times where I have removed myself to the bathroom for a long soak with just a bottle of fizzy water to stop myself eating junk.\nYou Can Do It!\nGood Luck!

Going to the doctor is the first step - they can give you medication to take away cravings.  Then contact AA - they will give help and advice.

Saying you are addicted is a total copout, but if you must indulge yourself, try the little fat free jell-o pudding snacks, and do yourself a favor, cut up a bananaor other fruit, in a bowl and mix it in the jell-o at least that way you are getting something with some nutritional value.  1 A DAY !!!  After a week or so try every other day.  People quit smoking, kick heroin habits, stop their alcoholism.  Comparatively, it only takes a little will power to give up the chocolate.

Change what you snack on. Get some carrot sticks and a dip snack on that.. Have lots of fruit laying around the house.  Popcorn is a healthy snack  (Not salted or toffee).Allow yourself one day a week to eat whatever you like. Don't eat convience foods, prepare your own meals . Swap chips for oven chips. Pile lots of vegatables on your plate to fill you up. Eat cereal for breakfast.  Eat healthier rather than going on  a diet, it's never good to deprive your body of certain foods.  Eat rice and pasta, they fill you up too.   If you are cooking, you won't be bored  while your doing it. Maybe you could take up a hobby that keeps your hands busy to stop you snacking. (Doing  jigsaw puzzles,,  puzzles in books knitting, sewing, cross stitch, crochet). You should do some excercise (another boredom reliever) maybe yoga for beginners to start with as it's gentle (I  work out to a yoga video for beginners). Phone friends & family, write letters,  organise your cupboards, wardrobes, doors, clean,  go for a walk in the park, feed the ducks. Do gardening. Get plenty of sleep, people who don't get enough sleepare more likely to be overweight. If you have trouble sleeping drink cammomile tea. Swap fizzy drinks for water , fruit juice, herbal teas. Good luck.

A study conducted found that drinking 12 ounces of water at night will curb the evening munchies. The brain can sometimes misinterpret hunger for thirst. \n\nPersonally, I recommend rice cakes. The plain ones taste like styrofoam, but the little ones that come in different flavors are tasty and very low calorie. I have 8 of the little ones, which is 80 calories, with a glass of water. It is very filling.

Are you diabetic? Craving sugar is a sign of diabetes. Call your doctor (if you haven't already) and set up an appointment to have labwork done. \n\nThe Overeaters Anonymous thing isn't for you. You probably have a likely medical issue here, not a psychological addiction to food. Talk to your doctor before you do anything else. If you are diabetic, it is important to get things under control ASAP in order to avoid lifelong complications.\nGood luck and best wishes....

Stop %$#*&^)$ eating so much

I've heard various things, like wait 10 minutes or go for a walk.  I'd say wait the 10 minutes and if you still have the craving, go ahead and have whatever it is but try and make it a small portion.  I don't think there's any real way to stop a craving - but I have also heard that after a couple weeks of not eating something (sugar, butter - whatever), you won't want it any more.  I've never been able to hold out long enough to test that theory!

IF you are trying to loose weight, then yes its very taboo!  Drink a lot of water to curb the craving.  IF that doesn't work, then pick something lite-like a bowl of cereal.  You don't want to eat anything high fat late at night, your body won't burn it off.
