hello.
i'm trying to lose weight and i work out alot. i try to everyday and then let myself rest on sundays. but i've been noticing i eat alot so basically my working out and eating cancle eachother out...which isn't bad but i've noticed i just kinda go into the kitchen eat a little snack..even if i'm not that hungry i still eat something. then later i do the same. and then when its like lunch or dinner time i eat like normal. and when i'm out with people and we get food i usually end up eating even if i'm not hungry or i end up finishing their food. and then after i eat i'm like you idiot why'd you do that. your not going to lose anything if you eat all the time. so what can i do to help myself stop eating when i'm not hungry? what can i do to help myself gain more selfcontrol?

Try not to eat when you aren't hungry, and stop eating when you're full. You don't HAVE to finish everything on your plate.
You could try chewing sugarfree gum or even brushing your teeth to cut down on cravings!
Sometimes being thirsty can be mistaken for hunger, try drinking more water.
And it's ok to snack between meals, just go for something healthy, like fruits and vegetables! [ lilbit's advice column | Ask lilbit A Question ]
