Try drinking a bottle of water and waiting about 15 mins.  Lots of times our bodies are actually only thirsty, but trick us into thinking we are hungry, especially when craving sweets.

Eat whenever you get hungry for now.  Take some food in a container and eat it whenever you get the urge.  You need the nutrition, your body can't function properly without it.

your body is busy fighting and is rejecting things that weaken it so you are not in a hungry mood. It will accept nourishment and you need to force some things to keep strong.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!

First off, don't tempt yourself by having yummy snack foods around.\n\nTry to do something to keep your hands busy and yourself out of the kitchen - take up knitting, read, get online, play a game or cards with someone, take a walk - whatever it takes to keep you away from the food until you can control yourself.\n\nIt's tough, I know!  Just remember how bad you feel after your binging and you'll think twice before you start. Good luck!!

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

Don't eat to suppress your hunger, or you will feel awful and guilty when you feel like you need to eat and do.  Everyone has to eat, its perfectly alright to eat if you're hungry.  Instead of suppressing your hunger, switch all the foods you snack on with healthier choices.  Things like fruits and veggies with a little peanut butter on them.  Raisins, apples and cheese, stuff like that.  And start off slow with the exercise;  find a great place to walk and walk there with good music or something.  And if you feel like eating your favorite snack food, do it!  Don't feel guilty about it, just make a goal to only indulge once a week.  Hope this helps.

PLEASE talk to someone like a school counselor or doctor. I have had an eating disorder in the past and it SUCKS! From time to time it comes around again and I have to fight it- and its not easy. There is obviuosly something going on inside your head that is causing you so subconciously not want to eat. Try keeping a journal and writing down all your thoughts surrounding this. It will help and sometimes you will write down your own answer. If you need to talk more to me about this please email me- I will respond. I know all to well the dangers both mental and physical of eating disorders and I would hate to see someone else fall prey to this crap! LOL.

Try to eliminate all sugar to beat the sugar cravings.\nSomething I saw on Oprah which makes a lot of sense....\nYou need to be comfortable with that uncomfortable nagging feeling you get when you want to nibble.  That is when people sabotage their diet.  When you get that feeling, don't eat - that is when your body is losing weight.  \nI am trying to lose my pregnancy weight now too - I joined a gym with a daycare, and am trying to make better choices.  You can have snacks when you hit your goal weight. Your weight loss should motivate you to keep going, I love it when I fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while.  I lost 23 lbs and have 40 left to go.

You might not be getting the right foods your body needs or you eat junk food or too many sweet, which you can get hooked on  and FEEL hungry all the time.. I say change your diet and really think what you are Eating.  You should go to a Dr. for a check up.

If you cant go to the gym,just eat healthy and drink a lot of water.Stop eating any sweets.It's tough,but it's worth it.

With the colder weather and exercising, you are perhaps getting low sugar levels. The most natural response is to turn to a chocolate bar or sweets. However, it is these sugar lows and then highs that increase the cravings for more sugar.\n\nEat pasta, chicken and rice and loads of vegetables. These are full of complex carbohydrates- good sugars. Your cravings for junk sugar - called simple sugars such as fizzy drinks and choc bars and sweet puddings should go. avoid alcohol; that totally messes with your sugar levels.\n\nAlternatively, try one of those athlete drinks or chews to keep your body sugar levels intact.

The key here is "Everything in moderation!":) Try to limit yourself to like one sweet a day, and then if the urge comes to have another, snack on something healthily sweet, like fruit or a granola bar or some yogurt. Read the back of the sweets container to see how much is equal to one serving, and try to stick with eating only that much. It is hard, but denying yourself of any sweets will make it much worse in the long run. Good luck and Good health!

Try taking fruit and vegetables with you (carrots, celery...). Try having a salad for lunch, and much on fruit and vegetables when you are hungry. Limit the amount of bread and sweets that you take, and don't have sweetened soda, only diet versions. Maybe you can take some lighter lunches with you: vegetable dip with fresh vegetables to dip in it, salads, grilled vegetables, grilled meats and fish...\nGood luck.

Overeating is such a horrible addiction to overcome.  If it worked for us like for an alcoholic- and we could just never eat again- I could stop.  But unfortunately, you have to eat.\n\nFist of all, let me suggest to work on the issues from your childhood.  Resolving those should help a lot.\n\nAnd then, you could make notes or keep a journal- write down what you eat..... That should keep your hands busy and away from the food/mouth for while- .. No, really.. if you see it written down, it sometimes helps you recognize what you're doing.\n\nAnd find other things to keep you busy.  There are support groups out there- but I found I got worse after a overeater's anonymous meeting- they told me I had no control over my eating so I went home and proved them right.  Then I realized that was ridiculous, I did better before I went to the meeting.  I'm now diabetic and that helps.  I'm forced to make myself eat less to live.  When you get to a point where your life depends on it, you can do it.  Oh, and at least when you eat- eat healthy.
