How did you stop overeating ?

The biggest change was my thinking! Without that I would have failed.

Number one was I felt horrible, I'd just been diagnosed with tachycardia(resting heartrate ove 100), when I asked what I could do, doc said lose weight. I don't know why but I was really afraid and my heart constantly thumping around 110 BPM reinforced it. I thought I was dying and I used that fear.

I also threw out all the junk food. All of it and most everything in the cupboards, gone. I knew I would not diet and be successful. I had to change everything I ate. Today I let some junk in, after reaching the goal.

Best wishes to you.

I pre-log my week; I have to plan dinners for a family of 4, so logging the whole week on Sunday night helps plan my meals and plan what I need to buy to prepare family meals during the week.

I also put my plate on a food scale and serve myself that way.

I also tend to drink water if I start to feel "snacky" during the day. This helps me figure out if I'm thirsty, bored, or hungry. After dinner, I drink hot caffeine free tea to curb sweet cravings.

Have you considered seeing a therapist about it?
