[Closed] How to stop yourself eating absolutely everything in sight, then some more?

Have you tried putting all your food on a slate? Seems to put a lot of people off.

I can avoid food all day if I put an apple on my desk and say 'that's the next thing I'm going to eat'.

Raw carrots. Then you can get that Freudian oral fix you used to get form smoking, too.

I'm afraid I'm never going to convince my brain or stomach of that. They know me, and therefore know how laughably implausible the apple ruse is.

Just eat!

Christ, only an idiot would try and deal with more than once vice at a time 😀

[b]Graze[/b]-ing during the day? Free box: PALH4GL, they do some nice stuff, honest!

Chewing tobacco?

Standard answer is to focus on the goal - be that the super-svelte, healthy binners or whatever rather than the here and now.

You'll eat if you're not that bothered about the consequence, you won't if you actually care about achieving it.

For me, I find an event to enter and I know how much I'll hate it if I'm not fit and not excessively lardy.

The first time I gave up smoking in my 20s, I drank loads of coffee instead. So I was irritable AND hyperactive, and frankly started hallucinating at one point. But I was regular. (another plus point for the carrots)

So I don't recommend you replace fags with coffee.

Oatcakes and water ( I know that sounds like gruel,but it's not).
Boring but effective.

Amphetamine - stops you wanting to eat everything, and makes the day go faster too.

Caution: I am not a Dr. or expert in stopping smoking.

P.S and good luck. Took me a number of attempts to quit, and my dad died of lung cancer, which spurred the first attempt. Still have the odd cheeky fag. You have to want to quit, it is a cliché for a reason.

Good luck. One day at a time etc etc.

Heroin? Junkies are always skinny.

When I stopped smoking I kept a Tupperware tub of chopped fruit; loads of banana, orange's, pineapples etc on my desk. I went through a 2l soup tub of fruit a day. Cost a lot, but saw it as an investment. Also ate loads of nuts (not kp salted type!) Almonds mainly. I Never took cash to work so I coulndt buy sweets, bacon rolls etc.

Good luck, its not easy but gets easier. Ultimately it's worth it.

Drink lots of water, that fills you up.

Admitedly I am typing this at my desk with a nice chicken curry and rice in front of me (not so bad) and a packet of salt n' vinegar for later 😳

EDIT

Carrots would clearly be better

You asked for a Greggs voucher (Man U bet) perhaps I should exchange that for something more suitable ...

Leave your "Sweetie Money" in the car. Works for me.

Take no money to work and have no 'nice stuff' (i.e. junk food) at home.

get somebody to refuse you any pudding........

Drink more water. If you feel hungry have a glass of water.
I call it the water diet. PayPal me some money and I'll do you a personal water diet plan.

Problem solved.

If it does't work try this,could also open some doors.

You know the answer.

That stuff you get to paint on your nails to stop you chewing them, paint that all over your food.

That hood would be too hot this time of year, how about one of these:

MTFU Princess

I drank loads and loads of brews as i did not want to put on weight
It may be a case of just an accept it for a very short period though Quirells sounds like the most fun way

Fair point footflaps although you would have to steer clear of snooker halls.

carrots are a good idea

consider something with protein, keeps you fuller for longer - but healthy stuff like grilled chicken cut into strips, one carrot one chicken

no, not a pie !!! 😀

good luck

Why would I want to?

extra strong mints did it for me
After half a packet you don't want anything else for a while

Raw carrots.
Plain Ryvita
works for me when I was working from home for years..

A bit OTT,but hey,needs must.

Eat dry pudding rice, then drink warm water, that will fill you up.

repeat whenever you feel hungry.

Just don't have it in the house/office is the only solution I have. If there is crap there, I will eat it, so I just don't buy it now.

Develop some self control.

As a previous fattie it's pretty much all you can do. It sucks, but [b]you[/b] need to break the cycle of putting cake in the cake hole.

Develop some self control.

Erm... yeah... I'm a few days into packing in smoking. My very limited self control is a bit busy right now

Eat toilet paper, it works for anorexics.

Maybe try using mfp, set a calorie target (not a tiny diet target, just something to stop you eating your body weight in shite). Just the process of thinking what you are picking up will add a little control.

If you are exercising, 2500Kcal should be ok.

I'm afraid I'm never going to convince my brain or stomach of that

tell yourself when you're hungry that this is the sensation I get when I'm losing weight. it's my body telling me that I'm burning fat.

similar to.. when you can feel the sun on your face you think to yourself 'I'm getting a tan' not 'I'm damaging my skin cells beyond repair leading to premature aging'

With carrot sticks I can just about convince my brain that the shape and crunch means that they're unsalted chipsticks...

whenever im trying cut cut back on lovely treats, i just substitute everything with weetabix!

Dates replace unhelpful food with this like dates thay tasted sweet but also keep you regularly so you poop out the things you have binge on more. Also it's about training you stomach. I use to eat shit loads of food but found that substituting infrequent high calorie food for more frequent low calorie food helped. It stops u being hungry and the more you start to lower ur meal size the less u will have to eat to fill full. D

Oh man, the sensation of laying a 14"log each morning is something to treasure*.

binners, you could try the My Fitness Pal app - you scan everything you eat and it add-up the calories. Just takes a few seconds.

Plan B (or should it be a lowercase b for binners) could be to provide only things with negative or null calorific value - Rice cakes? Celery sticks, gum [eeer, beware eating too much sugarfree gum though].

If you like Marmite, you can try adding a good dollop of that to the rice cakes etc then you have to nibble as it's such intense salt.

Try eating more slowly, your body takes around 20 mins to register the actual quantity of food you've just eaten.

Best of all, just eat what you want and ride more. TBH if you get fitter you can ride faster [without the Haibike] and I'm pretty sure that'll mean you'll burn more calories/hour = you can eat and still stay svelte 🙂

Dunno man, dunno. Catch you later....

*Ex Weetabix addict here, 9/day minimum it was.

I went for a run at lunchtime, trod in a big cow poo and haven't got changed yet. The smell is quite off putting, perhaps if you got some poo and put it on your desk it might have the same effect.

The answer is in the OP staring at us all - Chewitts of course.

Or how about grapes?

These guys are at it, and look like they're having a great time.

Is that dry?

You are in a trance. Anything you put in your mouth from now on will have the texture and sensation of spiders crawling around inside your mouth waiting to hatch theire babies out in your cheek pouch and eat your brains from the inside out

And you're back in the room.

I just walked past the chocolate machine. If I can, you can too.

At least you can't eat when your out riding.

Keep at it binners. I drank shedloads of fresh orange juice. I mean SHEDLOADS.

Don't be a whore to the Tobacco companies. The evil ****ers are now turning their attention to the far east handing out cigs etc to children to get them hooked into a life of smoking. Then theres Child labour in developing countries etc etc.

Don't be in the same club as those knuckle draggers who smoke around their kids and kids who smoke cos its cool innit and I'm rebelling geeza.

Alcohol is drug enough- switch to that fulltime, possibly a stiff G&T first thing followed by a 10am chaser 😆

I drank shedloads of fresh orange juice. I mean SHEDLOADS.

Yep. At the time I needed to do something repetitively/alot. Once I was sick of OJ I forgot about snoking.

Binners when the nicotine has completely left your system the mad cravings will stop.

Tapeworm. Then you can eat what you like.

A better e-cig may do the trick, what are you using now? I found that it was easy to quit smoking when I found an acceptable substitute. Better, more powerful vaporizers give a much more satisfying experience, and eliminate (in my experience) the desire to go back to the cigs. I'd recommend an IPV mini 2, with a Kanger Subtank Mini, or Aspire Atlantis 2. Vape something nice and fruity at 25W and you're golden.

you could try the My Fitness Pal app - you scan everything you eat and it add-up the calories. Just takes a few seconds.

Plus replace all the snacks at home with healthy alternatives you don't want. I don't like banana's, for that reason we have lots of bananas every week in the shopping. Although Mrs K ruined Plan A this week by buying one of these from Makro...

MFP works for me. That and a Turbo. The red bars (exceeding daily calories)motivate me not to eat things.

I also found sparkling water with a slice of lemon a good replacement for an evening tipple.

Why not just eat? You'll get fat(ter) but short term weight gain is easy to lose. If you eat loads and loads, you'll get sick of it eventually.

Thats also easier than telling your kids when you are in your 50's that you have cancer and wont be around to see them grow thanks to the nasty ****ing habit.

Our 50's will soon come round quick. We were joking last week that TFI Friday was 20years ago- feels like yesterday 🙁

I've said it before - I quit as I kept on getting chest infections and my GP took time out to sit down and talk to me about it and the future.

EDIT - something scientific:

http://www.behaviorwizard.org/wp/behavior-grid/

In a similar boat to binners. Went to Aldi at dinner and got a pack of the ready to eat german meatballs. None left now. Oh, and a few packs of mini cheddars, and two snickers, some biscuits and lots of coffee. I'm still feeling hungry.

^ Part anxiety?

Get yourself as busy as ****. After work you worry I bet with the free time to chew yourself up.

Plan really busy evenings after work. i.e. rides etc.

Possibly a bit right there Hora. Mainly giving up tabs though.

As for the free time I don't get any, a 3 year old takes care of that.

I'm on steroids at the moment. Add the knackered arm which will keep me off the bike and I'm likely to look like a Weeble inside seven days. Can't stop eating...

I'm crazy busy Hora. I don't need to manufacture stuff to do, believe me. This isn't helping though.

I'm considering drinking excessively as a distraction from the 6 pack of cheesy quavers and the pack of garlic sausage presently winking seductively at me!

There a cheesy sausage winking at you? 😯

*pushes plate away feeling nauseous*

Stopping buying copious amounts of shit to eat sounds like a good first step.

I have two children. I need copious amounts of shit for bribery purposes!

Eat some pork crackling/scratching/rind as snack.

Once eaten other snacks just bland and tasteless.

🙂

I haven't given up smoking and I still eat loads! I can't walk past the bakery section in Sainsburys without buying a pack of cookies or similar......and they never see the day out! 🙁

Have you read the easy way to stop smoking(Tm).. Repetitive but worth it if not and covers this subject.

Keep up the good work and think about how nice it will be to be free.

Stevet1.....that was great!
Made me laugh.
