how to not over eat?

Question

Any tips on how not over eat? I struggle with it so much. Even if I’m full I have to finish my plate to the point I’m sick. I have no self control. Even if I eat small meals a day and I’m full I don’t have self control and will still look for more food. I try to distract myself to avoid eating but it doesn’t help. I’ve tried drinking water before & after, and etc. I can’t stay on a healthy diet bc I’m eating right having meals, and I’m just normal full. I’ll still look for snacks, If I decide to eat a portion of cake (example) I’m not satisfied with it and just go back to it and get more. If I don’t keep junk in the house, days later when I get my hands on some I’ll “binge” on it. Any tips that helped anyone? I want a better relationship with food.

Answer

I would see your doctor/ a dietician first to rule out any medical reasons. Then as others suggested go to a therapist who can help you with strategies to develop a better relationship with food. Its not easy good luck 💕

Answer

I think you need to address the source of your issues with impulse control. I usually have a lot of self control - especially with eating - but if I'm depressed or anxious it goes out the window. I'm already seeing a psychologist once a month: if I noticed a spike in this type of behaviour it's the kind of thing I'd talk to her about.

Answer

Can you try healthier snack options? Like celery with peanut butter or nuts? Try eating oatmeal and eggs with fruit for breakfast for awhile and that may set the day and keep you fuller for longer:

Answer

I recommend talking to a therapist. They can help you identify why you’re binging and teach you how to modify those behaviors.

Answer

You may want to reach out for mental health or eating disorders, and talk to them about what’s going on or anything else on the list. There may be more to it than meets the eye is, it may not just be what you’re eating, there may be a reason behind it, I’ll explain for myself,. I was sexually abused at the age of eight, I was an alcoholic by the age of 12, I had every eating disorder, self harm, I didn’t want to feel what I was feeling so I try to find an escape from reality, looking for love in all the wrong places with the nicest way of putting it from 16 on. I buried all of what I had gone through, and I spiraled big-time last year, I started binge eating because I didn’t want to feel what I was feeling, I was reading some thing on here and it triggered the memory. I spiraled big time, I would eat until I felt nauseous, I was trying to numb what I was feeling, I was trying to fill a void that I was feeling, I was trying to self medicate I was looking for comfort and food etc. I had to talk to somebody, and I think you need to talk to somebody to￼￼o. There may be going on more than just what’s on the surface, that’s causing this, my mother was my biggest trigger, even after losing 100 pounds she still called me fat ass every single day. And I would find myself going to the refrigerator, to trying to seek comfort him food. I think you need to talk to someone.
