Hey folks. I've got a problem, I am trying to cut down on what I eat. But I find that I have a habit of just walking by, say, a box of Cheezits. I'll pick it up, and before you know it, it's gone!I was just wondering if anyone out there had any hints, tips, or suggestions on what I can do to start paying attention to waht is happening. Thanks folks~Wil

Eating more than what you need to is just a habbit that you have to break. Theres a huge difference between hunger and appetites/cravings. You have to ask yourself if you really need the food, or is your body just wanting it for pleasure.

Hey i know what its like, that tempting bag of chips or that tempting stack of cookies, but you know what made me stop? The thought of seeing my fat self in the mirror and being considered an ugly girl in school. I couldnt bear it so I stopped and now I've been doing better, but i still hope to lose more......good luck.
