Welcome! I'm sure some of admin will point you in all the right directions. Well done for getting here and its really good that you know what causes your over weight. That makes it a good starting point and hopefully through communicating and supporting others who will support you, you will be able to develop other hobbies which will release the same good feelings that eating does ; without the harm!

All the best. Look forward to see how you get on

If you like eating / food and its a hobby why not try taking up cooking as a hobby?

For me - half the enjoyment in food is making it. When you are making it, you can make healthier stuff which is also tasty - therefore your hobby of eating is satisfied too!

I really agree with your advice to Mamouchka. I love cooking and when I'm doing lots of it, I'm usually eating well and keeping the weight down. It's when I'm grabbing rubbish on the go that the trouble starts!

Reaching for what you think is easy, quick, cheap food isn't easy, quick or cheap!

A bit of preparation and planning - and just a little knowledge of food all helps keep it a bit healthier!

... and really fun once you get into it!

Hi, Mamouchka

Fasting is a good hobby - you can do it for twenty hours a day... and save money while you are doing it.

...or you could try counting calories... or both.

It tends to take a while to train or ignore your appetite, but start by not eating late at night, then the evening ...afternoon.
