Overeating way too much

[Zhiyah1012]

I tend to over eat so much even when I’m full I keep going and it’s annoying but I’m hungry but I just ordered all this McDonald’s and it’s bad I’m eating this much unhealthy food all the time

I get like this too when my mood is all out of whack.

What’s helped is snacking and waiting. If I’m craving something unhealthy, I have a little snack (usually a healthy version of something sweet lol it can be hard to find tasty ones but it’s possible). Then I wait an hour. If I’m still dead set on McDonald’s I get it. But usually in that hour, the snack calms my cravings and I can decide if I really really need the McDonald’s (which let’s be real, sometimes you do, as long as it’s not every day)

Hi, I know the best thing for me to do when the craving hits, is recognize the urge is just that.

Instead of food, I drink a large glass of water slowly. Sometimes it's thirst so water is good. Other times its the comfort of eating when stressed. Water taken slowly keeps hands busy (instead of eating or dialling for fast food) and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.

Water has the benefit of keeping body functioning better and is much cheaper than eating junk food for the sake of it
