Hello

This happens quiet a lot and like you say the more you get anxious the more you want to eat

Why don't you get healthy snacks , you can eat as many of those as you like and that will not harm you at all and when you feel you want to eat try saying to yourself if it is in between meals that you will wait another hour before you do & do something to keep yourself distracted and if after an hour you get the urge again give yourself another 30 minutes or another hour till slowly you break the cycle

Take Care x

hey their Andy,

this sounds quite discomforting. the best advice i could give is dietary: increasing your protein intake and getting the carbs that you intake from vegetables. you can eat vegetables all day pretty much and they are fairly filling due to water they hold. Its getting your body to recognise whole foods again.

sorry if i've made a few asssumptions when writing this.

good luck,

sonny
