I live a relatively active life but I struggle with eating too much. I feel like there is no diminishing returns when I eat something. Each chip tastes just as good as the last one. So I will be craving food but know it’s not healthy for me to eat more. I’m trying to find ways to ignore that feeling or dismiss it.
Are there any tips or methods you use to help with that? Impulse control is the hardest thing to work on sometimes.
Make a rule not to eat while you’re doing anything else: watching a show, playing a game, reading a book, browsing Reddit Lemmy. When you’re eating, focus on the food. Taste and enjoy it. And when that gets boring or you feel full, set it aside and go do the other things.
Distracted eating is when I overindulge.
This will not work for everyone, but maybe also try intermittent fasting. I sort of accidentally fell into it while busy with work until after a regular lunch. At some point I was eating between 3 and 6pm only. Sometimes snacks at night. I can no longer eat a big meal.
My stomach just won’t take it. I still eat total junk food/fast food a few times a week., but I can only eat so much. I’m 45 and at my college weight. Add some push ups/planks and walk whenever you’re on the phone or count steps.
