Ok first off, calm down. This is simply nothing, just dont let yourself consuming anymore. Your body is simply craving for more energy, which means your diet is wrong. Best to eat full with 4 to 6 little snacks in a day. This keep you going with an energized body all the time without letting you slip off the routine. Now we have to plan how we are going to do this.\n At first, start with a journal what kind of food you're usually thinking of. If it's bad, replace it with something more healthy. Like when you're devastated for a coke, go make/buy yourself a nice strawberry smoothie that not only helps your sking but also your skin and diet. When think of a burger, take off a trip to your kitchen to make yourself a delicous sandwich filled with lettuce, 1 to 2 slices of fresh ham/turkey and a bit of nonfat cheese. See? Easy. Be creative and think of some more. Not only that, you also save your money by eating food that makes you slim. If you are desperately craving for food, that means something is wrong in your HEAD. Your brain is invaded with some sorts of stress. Think about it, why am i eating when i'm not even that hungry? Am I stressed about something coming up or already happend? You can certainly consulted to your psychologist about this too. Remember, control yourself in any circumstances.

Eating is usually a way of suppressing something that is bothering you.  Find out what you are stressing about, work on that and your hunger will subside.  Sounds weird but is true.

eat in moderation.  Six small meals a day isn't that hard to do as long as your meals don't come from MacDonalds.  Keep your hands out of the cookie jar.

Aversion therapy. Put a rubber band around your wrist. When you think about snacking, pop it so that it hurts a little. If you do it every time you start for the refrigerator or cupboard, you'll begin to associate your desire to snack with pain, & will be less likely even to think of it.

Practice mindful eating\n\nOurs is, sadly, an on-the-run, 24/7, get-everything-done-yesterday world. Extending multi-tasking to eating is one often-seen habit that probably causes many health problems that could be avoided if one only took the time to accord the meal the attention it deserves. The time that is perceived as “lost” by doing nothing but eating can more than likely be made up in increased energy and productivity the relished, well-digested meal returns to you. Eating in silence, with all your senses focused on the aromas, flavors, colors and textures on your plate is best, with muted, pleasantly relaxing conversation or soft music in the background a second-best option. Arguments, highly stimulating discussions and disciplining children are activities not suited to mealtimes.\n\nOther mindful eating habits to follow:\n\nDo not work or speak on the telephone when you eat. \n\nDo not read or watch television. \n\nOffer thanks or sit in silence a minute before you begin eating. \n\nDo not gulp down your food; savor each mouthful and chew well before you swallow. \n\nA few sips of warm water during the meal will help digestion, but do not drink too much of any beverage. \n\nAt any meal, do not eat until you are very full. The ideal Ayurvedic portion is what you could hold in your two cupped hands joined together. Leaving some room in the stomach when you are done enhances digestion. \n\nAfter you are done eating, sit quietly for a few minutes; do not immediately rush off to do the next chore of the day.

Eat less for your next meal. Exercise might help, but there are times when this has the reverse effect, such as when sugar levels are very high. Talk to your doctor.

Well I say take to time to wind down when you get home relax or make quite time for yourself. If you feel you need to eat try to chew sugar free gum .

Try not to eat anything for at least four hours.  Then start with SIP of clear liquids, but NOT water.  Juice,kool-aid, jello stuff like that.  seven-up and ginger ale work great too.  when you start to feel like eating, stick with the B.R.A.T. diet.\n\nBananas\nRice\nApplesauce\nToast(dry--no butter)

I used to get anxiety attacks when I didn't eat enough or I didn't have enough oils in my system. So maybe you could have a few healthy snacks inbetween meals, drink more water, and put plenty of good Italian oils on your salad:) I put butter on my veggies, the oil in the butter soothed my jumping nerves. I literally felt a thousand times more calm afterwards. Just a suggestion. :)\nGood luck.:)

Practice, and lots of it!  Listen and follow your conscience.  When you know you shouldn't be eating or doing something, just don't do it and distract yourself or replace it with a good habit.  As far as eating goes, start slow and set small goals, and when you develop good eating habits give yourself one meal or one day a week to splurge, so you don't totally neglect yourself.  Same goes for exercising.

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.

Try choosing a meal... say lunch and knock it out.\nKeep eating AM and PM meals.\nyou dont need to tell anyone, just do it.  \nInstead of eating for that 45mins, PRAY.\nMake your focus God instead of Food.\nFasting is not about being hungry, its about prayer and focus.

What foods are you craving specifically?  If you need chocolate, you are better off eating high cocoa versions like 70% cooking chocolate.  If it is burgers, try eating chicken burgers instead of ordinary ones.\n\nI over ate last week because it was just so damned cold.  I also over eat if I am stressed out.  Think about how you are feeling at the moment and if you are stressing about something, do something to sort it out.  Exercise is really good for stress but if you are feeling stressed the last thing you want to do is exercise.  Catch 22!\n\nGood luck!

If you mean not to eat food or skip meals. Try wrapping your tummy tightly with a tummy strap or a clothing. Don't ever think about the food but don't forget to drink a glass of water before planning to skip a meal.
