To help you control your snacking portion sizes- If you are having chips or whatever from a big bag put some in a lunch baggie, a nd take some ice water with you. Eat what is in the bag thendrink the water to get rid of the taste in your mouth (which would make you want more) and don't go back for seconds. That way you can enjoy your snack without eating the whole box (something I was guilty of doing before)

hey, its me john again. SOMEONE help! I have an eating problem i think. Tongiht i was at wendy's, and i gourged, and I think I'm over 230 now. I can't help it, but ive gotten bigger. I have admitted ot myself that i have an eating problem. I just go for it, i eat and eat, and then eat some more. And even when im full, ill plop on the couch, and eat more. I can't stop, im ballooning up, ive noticed my body has changed in a matter of 3 days. My stomach is sliding down and out, and my love handles are growing. I'm just husky now, and i get worn out to simple stuff, like jogging upstairs to downstairs. Can anyone suggest an idea on how to just kick my eating habits? I'm ballooning up!

i feel just like you, but heres a trick. whenever you have a craving for large amounts of food, just have a glass of water instead. works for me.

If you feel like eating something you shouldn't be eating, either go out and keep yourself busy do exercise or something to keep your mind off of that food, or suck on ice cubes. They help calm cravings.
Good luck!

Hey all. I posted a message on this site a few days ago and someone named Lindsay gave me a tip that eating ice helps stop cravings... Well I came home today from school and opened the fridge (automatic move)lol and I saw a plate of cupcakes sitting there. I only ate one but I went back for a second. It took me a long time to resist that second cupcake craiving lol but I grabbed some ice to eat insted. Thanks Lindsay. If anyone has some more tips just post them thanks! :)

THIS IS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GIVE IN TO CRAVINGS THAT RUIN YOUR WEIGHTLOSS PLANS. Trust me, I'm no newcomer to cravings. It's simple, you restrict yourself from a food that you are use to, and you find that you miss that food, in some cases you expirience withdrawl. This happens in things that have caffine, which aren't all that good for you. So, the next time you have a craving for some salty oh so good potato chips, or that bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream, follow these steps, that will make you decide, and work for that craving. 1)You get that craving. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen to rummage around, go sit in some place that does not have food and make yourself stay there for at least 5 minutes. When your time is up, if you still REALLY want it, go to step #2. 2) Go drink a glass of ice cold water, or suck on some ice cubes. Once you've done this, you can pretty much tell if your craving is actual hunger. If it is, then go ahead and have a piece of fruit. 3) You've gone through the first 2 steps, and yes, it truely is a craving. Some cravings are worth having, but first, you must pay for them. Do 10 push ups, 20 jumping jacks, and 5 crunches. Do you still want those potato chips? Yes? Well, then you can have them. BUT WAIT. Don't go take the bag and sit down in front of the t.v. That's the worst thing you can do. Take out the bag and count out each potato chip and put it in a bowl. Make sure you only have a small portion. You are responsible for every one of those chips. Next, go sit down at a table. No books, no t.v., no drawing. Just you and the food. Take a look at it. Is all this really worth it? If yes, go ahead and eat it. But remember, you have to do this all over again if you want more. You have to do this EVERYTIME you want something that you know you shouldn't have. Trust me, it's human nature not to be patient. Soon it won't be worth the 5 minutes, the jumping jacks, and the guilt. Good luck to all of you!

Alexia is right about gum, but just to warn you, chewing gum is a habit replacer. That's where you take a habit and replace it with another. For some people chewing gum is a good idea, but just make sure it's sugar free, or else you might get in trouble with the dentist, or otherwise, just suck on some ice cubes, but beware that you don't bit them too much, that could do some damage to your teeth!
