Help =( All I do is eat!

Time to gain some self control, get back on track and stop doing what you're doing!

When I am truely hungry I eat. Ig you don't have enough calories that day then work out more so you do.

Have you severely restricted your calories? A lot of people who have lowered their calories too much will experience this. They can stick with it for awhile, but after a few weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less) they simply can't take it anymore and start eating and eating and eating.

Or is it emotional eating? Are you doing it because you're bored, angry, sad? Boredom eating a big one. As is, stress eating.

You need to take a step back and really evaluate WHY you're eating constantly. Is it true hunger? Are you eating enough healthy foods? Are you dehydrated? A lot of times people mistake thirst with hunger (I used to do it all the time).

if you are staying under your calories thats probably why you are snacking.
Make your meals larger (with the right foods) to stave off the hunger

I looked at your diary and it looks like you're doing just fine! If you snack, you are snacking healthy.. are you eating many small meals? You'll be less hungry if you eat 5-6 times a day. As long as you are eating healthy snacks and not overdoing it on calories you will be loosing weight! Keep on trucking!

If you're staying under your calories, then it's okay to snack!!!!!!! Have you tried making sure you have a protein, carb, and fiber at each meal? It helps you feel full longer to balance it out. Some of your meals look pretty good, but some times it looks like either a lot of protein or a lot of carbs. If you mix them, it might really help the hunger.

All that being said, back to my original statement, snacks are totally fine if you're not going over your calories.

If you're at or under maintenance calories, it doesn't matter if you snack.

Try having more nutritious meals...aka more protein and fiber.

You aren't actually going over your calorie goal (from what I see in your diary) so I doubt you're going to gain weight back but you want to make sure you are actually hungry when you eat and not bored/tired/sad/etc.

Switch things up a bit and I"m sure you'll find what works best for you.

Eating small meals more frequently would probably benefit you. I was a snacker, but eating meals through out the day is much more satisfying.

I'm staying under my calories though. Does it matter if I snack so much if I stay under my calories?? COuld it be my metabolism is kicking in which is making me hungry?? I'm not snacking bad, just snacking a lot...

I think that is okay, I eat all day, I think your supposed too. And I eat back all my exercise calories too. I've lost 20lbs so I wouldn't worry if I were you. That's what is so great to me about MFP, I found out I could eat and still lose weight.

Are you logging all this food that your eating? I looked at your diary and you are staying under your calorie goals. In fact, the only days I saw where you had come anywhere close to your calorie goals was Tues and Wed of this week. You may be starving because your not eating enough!! I really work hard to eat all of my calories every day, plus my exercise calories.

This is what has really helped me contain my hunger and curb cravings - I am almost never hungry anymore and cravings are satisfied with small portions (no more binges).

Eat more protein - closer to 1 gram per goal body weight - for me, it's 130 grams (that's my goal, anyway).
Eat more often - no more than 3 to 4 hours between meals.
Protein at every meal. Small meals for me are cottage cheese with fruit. Whole grain crackers with cheese. Piece of fruit with nuts. Tablespoon of nut butter with slice whole grain bread or apple slices. Small meals/snacks - interchangeable in my opinion - for me they're under 300 calories or so. Start with a protein and add produce or complex carb. Don't forget healthy fats - they do wonders for satiating hunger.

Once I started to eat more and more often, more protein, that insatiable 'hunger' went away. Good luck!
