I Can't Stop Eating

Well...you could stand on all fours like a grazing cow and then it would be much harder to eat that way. :)

I don't see much protein in any of your choices. I would still be hungry too if I ate what you ate....it's all just carbohydrates and would make me keep craving something more substantial.

So, perhaps have a couple of eggs, or scoop of peanut butter, or open a can of tuna....then leave the kitchen and focus on something else.

I never force myself not to eat. Eat! I am breastfeeding so I feel your pain - just let go! I eat peanut butter out of the jar by the spoonful. And by the way, your list is NOTHING! Life is too short to worry about stuff like this. =)

I brush my teeth and rinse with mouthwash. I hate to eat when my mouth is so fresh!

Quick, leave the house!
Seriously though, get moving. I know I tend to eat more when I'm home, even if I'm being productive (paying bills, doing laundry, etc.) So roll up your sleeves and do something more physical: go outside and pull weeds, clean out the garage, clean your car out. You must have some kind of chore like this that you've been putting off (don't we all?!)
I'm headed out to my garage right now, thanks for the motivation :)

Get some apple cider vinegar. Put 1-2 tablespoons in a glass of water. Add a little cinnamon if you'd like. Drink before eating anything. It totally curbs your appetite and is very good for you.

It's best to just let it go for today as long as you are not doing it every day! Induldge yourself!

More fiber. Eat some lowfat popcorn.

Go exercise. You might still want to eat afterwards but at least you will feel better about mitigating some of the calories =)

I'm breastfeeding and OMG my hunger cravings can be over-the-top and usually for high calorie foods so I feel ya =)

sometimes thats what your body needs. I would eat! Tomorrow is a new day.

try mint oil in your water, or mint tea. It will curb that appetite. Also i read sugar free gum is a good way not to graze

The best thing to do is to drink a huge glass of water and go to the gym.

This was me a couple of days ago (PMS). But I didn't follow my own advice. I took it as a cheat day and just ate because I was a stressed out mess. I just promised myself and plotted how the next day I would go back to healty eating and exercising. It worked. So maybe give yourself permission to go crazy today, but pull yourself together tomorrow.

Allow it for yourself today, just take a long walk tonight! We all have days like this. When it happens to me, I try to pick healthier options, like fruit or veggies that I CAN eat all day, or chew gum. But not always...sometimes we must indulge. Tomorrow is a new day!

Omg, I wish I had the answer to this one, but I am right there with you. . . I just ate four pieces of garlic toast, a bowl of ice cream and a yogurt. . . At least your grazing sounds relatively healthy, mine just sounds weird and sad. . . ;)

I'd be hungry and eating all day w/ those foods too!! Put some good food in there. Peanut butter on a whole grain bagel. Veggies or fuit instead of nutrigrain bar. Banana w/ a yougurt.
