Not hungry, but can't stop thinking about food!

Well, I have this very annoying problem, mostly at night right before going to sleep.

My mind won't shut it about food. And it is not just "unhealthy" foods I want, it is EVERYTHING!
I'm not hungry, and I ate all my calories for the day, and it is too late to exercise. :sad:
It's so bad that I can't sleep or do ANYTHING for that matter, without my mind going like: "Apple, orange, pizza, bread, mackerel, cookies, jam, carrot, spinach!" :noway:

I tried taking a little bit of carrot and cucumber, but my mind STILL wouldn't shut up.

Any advise to help me, I'm going crazy! :indifferent:

    I find the more I try and not think about food the more I do! Sometimes I have to eat a little something too. I suggest reading a book. Not a magazine or watch tv b/c every other page or commercial is FOOD! I'm so dead tired by the time I go to bed that I couldn't get up to eat if I wanted so maybe you can be like me and work two jobs!!! Hope you figure it out b/c I know it's miserable.

    Are you having obsessive thoughts, like maybe you need to talk to a doctor? Or is it just annoying?

    Me too! I still think about eating all sorts of stuff from time to time, but now I have more self control to not do it.

    I have the exact same problem. The only thing that works for me is to go to bed. Only problem is that I know that once I shut my eyes i'll wake up to another busy day again. Can't I just stop going to school?
