only eat when I'm hungry

-I keep eating when it is “time” to eat.
-I don’t think I fully understand hunger anymore. Very rarely am I actually physically hungry.
-I do “preventative” eating (ie. eat something before an event) which almost never works. I just end up eating another meal there.

I just wish that food didn’t have such a spell over me.
:/

I spent a long weekend at home and, of course, now I feel like I’m back to square one. Its so hard to balance healthy eating habits when your mom takes you out to lunch and offers to buy you ice cream. Its hard to say no. I did notice myself being aware of the fact that I wasn’t hungry and eating anyways, which, I think, is an important recognition. I just need to learn to say no!

I’ve been living on my own for about a month and a half now. I have lost a lot of weight in that time, mostly due to changed eating habits. Frankly, I can’t afford junk food! While this is awesome, since I’m eating smaller, healthier meals, changing my habits out of necessity rather than desire wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. Although I’m not always waiting until I’m hungry to eat (ie if I know I’m going to be in class when I will get hungry, I’ll eat lunch before heading out the door), I do think I’m definitely learning healthier eating habits. I was definitely overeating before due to boredom, emotional distress, and perhaps simply because of the abundance of it all.

I’m doing fine with this; Mostly I just completely eliminated the concept of snacking, except perhaps for a little hummus right before dinner. I feel like I’m responding less compulsively to things, and rationalizing not very productive behavior less.

are fun (3 in a row)! But bad for your figure! :D
Candy, chips, Ben & Jerry’s,... sigh…
_{(btw you have to try Ben & Jerry’s Baked Alaska! So Good!)}

If I only eat when I’m hungry for at least 21 days then I will say I’m done with this (because thats the average for making a habit)

I hope this will keep me feeling fit.

Does anyone else have the problem where they don’t get physically hungry? Like you get tired, moody or have a problem concentrating instead? This happens to me so it’s really hard to keep on target with this goal. Any suggestions?

because when I’m at work I sometimes start feeling really weak and I just have to eat something (even though I’m not hungry) in order to feel better… :-(

I don’t know why I eat mindlessly sometimes.. I eat hurriedly.. in a rush for no reason.. and before i know it, the meal’s over.. and i’m left still feeling hungry.. my goal now is to really eat slowly, chew my food and taste every single bite that enters my mouth.. if i eat that way, i hardly overeat and can keep the weight off… I can do this… I just have to SLOW DOWN..
