eating too much
14/f. i babysit A LOT for my neighbors. but whenever i babysit them i always eat sooo much. even if i'm not hungry i eat. like if i have to feed the kids, i'll eat. and even if i'm not feeding the kids and they are watching tv i will go into the kitchen and eat. whatever i eat is always junk food. like cookies, chips, candy, etc. what can i do to take my mind off of eating while i'm there? i've tried bringing gum with me to chew when i think about eating, but that doesn't work. HELP!

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
When you`re making their dinner, it`s okay to eat a little something, but when you`re just flat out bored, & you need something to do, make sure that you have brought a book, magazine, etc. that will keep your mind off of it. & If you find that hard to do, get the kids to go outside & interact with them there. =) hope i helped you [ & don`t worry; i`m the same way when i babysit ]

I think that you should limit yourself like only 2 things and no more.TO keep yourself busy try bringing magazines and staying as far away as the fridge as possible lol! If you really have to eat bring some home made trail mix with healthy stuff in it and like I mentioned before only bring a couple of home food. And if you find yourself being tempted then write a note saying something like "NO! No more eating ______(insert name) and stick it on your hand or somewhere where you will see it when you try to get something....well...
Best Wishes,

bring a big water bottle. every time you think about getting food, just drink water. not only does it make you not hungry (when you're not supposed to be hungry), but it's healthy. you can also bring a book or homework or something to do while the kids are playing to keep your mind off of food.

i know, i've got the same problem! But here's a few things that I have found to work. If the kids are busy or in bed or something, bring a book or homework or paper and a pencil to draw/write, this helps you keep busy and your mind off eating! Also, try bringing your own food and make it healthy stuff or if you REALLY feel you need to eat from there, eat healthy stuff. I hope this has helped!
