I am usually really alert about what I am putting in my mouth and I can almost always keep from eating something that is just not good for my body. Unfortunately, there are those moments that I just want comfort in that particular food that is bad. How do you keep from giving in? I believe that you just have to have the willpower NOT to eat it. It also helps if you do not put yourself in a position so that it is available to you.
You need to figure out why you overeat. Take that energy and put it somewhere else. Somewhere positive! When you feel the urge to binge, immediately do something else. Do jumping jacks, go for a walk, take a shower, call a friend, read a book . . . anything to distract you! Drink a big glass of water; it will keep your stomach feeling full. Repeat saying positive things to yourself. Be patient. Be wise with your decision. Do not overeat at mealtimes. It's all about portion control, cutting back on carbs, especially sugar! Be smart and take good care of that wonderful body that was given to you. Respect yourself! Starve your body of all sugar. Drink tons of water. Eat lots of veggies, fruit, fish, and chicken!
