im a 14 year old girl and i overeat.
im not fat or anything. actually, everyone says im skinny.
however, everyday, when i get home from school, i cant help myself but to finish a whole pack of oreos, cookies, chocolate, or potstickers. usually it's something sweet, but some of the other types of foods have the same effect on me.
my mom says that it's normal for girls my age to want to eat a lot, especially around the time of my peried or if im stressed about schoolwork. but it's not just CERTAIN days for me. it's EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. i don't overeat because of stress or hormones. i simply have a major sweet tooth. i love food.
i dont want this habit to continue. i may be skinny now, but in a couple of years, that certainly may not be the case if i continue to binge.
im not the type to become anorexic or bulimic either. i simply love food too much to stop eating altogether. and it doesnt have to be what i like. i hate peanuts, but when there's no other food around, i could eat that until i empty the can if im in that mood (which is pretty often).
anybody have any tips on how to control this habit?
(without buying pills or anything. just natural, home remedies that i can practice to make myself a have more self control when it comes to eating. i really dont want to have to resort to professional help.) (link)

I'm 15 and I'm the same way. I'm not as bad as I was before though. My metabolism is fast but its slowing down now. I kinda had to make it a goal for myself. I'd get home and I eat whenever I'm bored. I mean, its not like a meal where you get full right?? So its so easy to grab it and eat it.
Try getting rid as much as the sweet stuff in your house. Not by eating it though :P.
Exercise too whenever you can too. You're not as hungry afterward either.
Try drinking more water and juice.
So whenever you see yourself going to get food, start off with healthier foods. Its better to be eating that than all those sweets. You might eventually get bored of healthy stuff anyway and probably won't eat as much.
Good luck!
