Overeating is a very common condition in our society. You are not alone. I have had my own ups and downs with it over the years. For awhile now I've been on a diet that's been working for me because it does not make me feel hungry or deprived. You should talk to your dr. about a reasonable eating arrangement for you. (I am assuming that you truly are over-eating and not just eating normally but you think you eat "too much.") Try not to be too hard on yourself. There are far worse vices out there than food. One thing that works for some people is to not eat after 4 pm, because the body tends to slow down at that time and not burn calories as quickly. There are diets based on calories, on fat, and on carbs. You need to find what works for you, again ideally with a dr.'s help. May God bless your day.

I understand. We all have a deep hunger inside us for real love and life and everyone attempts to fill it with different things, sometimes even food. Pay attention to that hunger and stay with it for a minute before going to the fridge. What do you really feel in that moment? Sad? Lonely? Frustrated? Try and reach for something else first like calling a good friend, take your dog for a walk, listen to some beautiful music, journal...then if you are still hungry have something to eat but make sure it's truly nourishing. Learning new healthy recipes is fun and it slows you down because you have to take the time to prepare your food before just eating easy and maybe not as healthy. You can do this! But it's a journey so give yourself grace.

I have been dieting myself for about the last six months. I started out with cutting my portions sizes in half of what I would normally eat. I cut back on carbs such as potatoes, but not all carbs. More of a high protein and vegetables. For something sweet, I eat small portions of fruit. This is working for me. If you try it, hopefully it will work for you. Good Luck.
