Think Before You Eat
Let's say you like pizza. Think of your favorite kind of pizza (John’s Wildwood pizza – yum). What if after one slice, you started to feel full? Would you eat 2 or 3 slices just because it’s your favorite? Could you save it for later or be satisfied with just that one slice. If you’re not eating out of hunger, why are you eating? Are you never ever going to have this food again? Have you been depriving yourself of this food and now that you had a taste you might as well eat more than you need? Will eating a lot of it be satisfying to you?
If you have a tedency to overeat, think about why you're actually eating. Keep a food journal and write down not only the food you eat but also what you're feeling right before you eat and then again right after you eat. Don't deprive yourself of your favorite foods. Eat them on occaision and enjoy them. Remember, all food fits!
