I'm eating but, I am NOT HUNGRY!

[wiskband]

hey all,Some one say something that will CLICK! please. I am recently back to these boards cause I got my fat jeans that barely fit! And there stretch jeans I freaked! (this was 2 days ago) anyway, that day I reliazed I had no sneakers to walk in, I went out got great sneakers and still haven't ran. I started out good eating that day then went to work (in a restaurant) and by the end of the night I was so hungry and ate real bad at 11 at night no less. Today, reluctant to eat at BK I did half of what I normally would then went out to lunch I screwed that up and finally about half hour ago I wasn;t hungry but ate anyway now i feel awful. I am uncomfortably full as I write this. I need some serious advice about eating when I am not hungry and even more so eating late at night. I feel so gross!

Hi Renee: we met in 2005 on the boat to Trails End to eat prior to the 1/2 marathon--which if I remember correctly, you completed, even though you had so much going on in your life. Nice to see you back here.

Hope that you can get your eating under control. Are you an emotional eater--eating cause you're mad/sad/angry/lonely/stressed?? I just started back on WW and I am so amazed at how much more I can eat when I eat the right things. I spent the weekend feeling yucky because I knew that I was restarting WW so I tried to get my bad favorites in--big mistake. Anyway, I don't have a whole lot of guidance to give, but I recognized the name and thought I'd say "hi".

hi, yes! I remeber that was so much fun and I was so glad I met someone before I actually got there. How are you? I ave been off this site for so long. I just been slumped out. Crazy mad construction site here for over a year!@ And I have been consumed with that both living in it ( it was like camping for 8 months, 6 of us on 3 matress in one room! and dealing with it financially, of course we went way over budget so financial stress as well. Anywho, we are at the tail end here with all that and I really got to get back into it, I really can;t figure out why I over eat its always at night. I tape alot of my shows that I like then when everyone is asleep I go at it like theres no tomorrow and I literally go to bed feeling so phsyically ucomfortable! I simply need will power! got the kids home all week from school but I am determined to at least get back into some sort of excercise. It was so nice to hear from you. and glad to see a familar name.
talk to you soon.

Renee -- snap out of it!

i WISH it was that easy...but then we wouldn't be here and there'd be no need for this fantastic group

i am guilty of that too, i thought it was boredome eating but i think it's more emotional eating too. try journaling....sometimes writing down that snack or two or six brings me some realization of all the calories i'm consuming

I have a tip for late night eating...it is a common one, so you may have heard it elsewhere...

if you get the urge to eat and you know that it is not for hunger reasons, go brush your teeth! That minty toothpaste taste stays with you for like 20 minutes and definitely curbs your appetite. Good luck!

This is just a trick, though...the real task is to find out why you eat when you aren't hungry. If I had figured that out, I would be a gazillionaire by now!
