Why can't I stop eating?

Question:

I'm of average weight, and when i'm at home and not working I get tempted to eat, eat, and eat! I don't want to get fat..how can i stop?

Answers:
You have to become disciplined to only eat at appropriate times and in appropriate amounts. When you're home and tempted to eat, get busy doing something that you can't do and eat at the same time. Only eat at the table at mealtimes. No eating anywhere else. No eating between meals. Drink water or diet drinks when you think you want to eat. Sometimes, it's just thirst you are feeling. And if you've just got to have a snack, make it an apple or an orange. Keep the junk food on the store shelves. Don't bring it home! Good luck with healthier eating habits!

You are probably just bored.find something else to occupy your time. Try reading a book, walking, or anything to get out of the house.

find something else to occupy your time. do something with your hands. drink some juice or tea. good luck.

Because you are bored. You need to find something else to do.

If your around the house doing nothing, then you may get bored and start eating. The key is to keep you mind busy, like reading a book, or clean something, playing games, or even go outside to exercise.

I have the same problem.

get a hobbie - you are eating from boredom - not hunger.you must find something else to do with your time. when you start to eat again from being bored - go back online to answers and play around, call on your friends, walk your dog, whatever you can do to entertain yourself..if you are average wieght now - remember that you wont look good if you get fat - that should turn you off from eating too much.and if you cant stop eating - eat healthier like fruit, or veggies , not junk food.good luck

If you don't stop now, then when? If its not here, then where? If its not you, then who?

Try to do something useful with your hands. Keep you hands busy (and your brain too) and you will stop thinking about foot.

Get out of the house and keep yourself busy. Your eating alot because you are there with the fridge and its tempting you.
