What do you do on a day when you can't stop eating?

Those days for me tend to coincide with PMS and heavy workouts the day before. When it happens I eat. If your body is wanting food then it's hungry and I've not yet found the bottle of water that will fix it (though water is good). I make sure I'm eating healthy fats with protein and lots of veggies.

I find that eating a few almonds and slamming a water really helps. And I chew sugar-free gum when I feel like snacking but am not truly hungry.

If you're serious about your health you need to work out the route cause. Either your body chemistry is messed up or there are emotional reasons for your eating habits.

Body chemistry required a radical lifestyle change. If you want to eat high calorie foods with sugar/starchy carbs/artificial sweeteners etc you will ALWAYS battle against them. It's like adding small amounts of petrol to a diesel car...

Emotional reasons can't always be uncovered and tackled alone. Best advice is speak to a doctor.

Either way if you know what size you want to be work out why you want that. Not... ok I want to get into this outfit, it has to be what would wearing that outfit mean to you? Once your reasons are compelling enough and you're realistic, educated and focused nothing gets in your way. It sounds easy but it's like being in a burning building, once you know where the exit is you're going for it and nothing will stop you.

Hope this helps!
