Can't Stop Eating?

Maybe you start eating your first junk food or comfort food and you just can't stop. For me it was pizza, potato chips, doughnuts, and other junk foods. I'd eat one doughnut and want another. I'd eat the 2nd one and still want more and I just couldn't stop eating them.

I can't stop eating doughnuts, or at least that's what I thought. I didn't know that I was dealing with overeating.

Overeating is simply eating too much. Often people experience overeating when eating some junk foods. How do you stop overeating?

Well before I share how I stopped overeating, I first gotta share what causes overeating in the first place. Ready, it's DIETING. Yes all those diets you tired and that never worked. Not only did they not work, but they probably deprived you of some of your favorite junk foods. And now when you start to eat one of those junk foods I be you can't stop.

To stop overeating you need to first stop dieting. Diets don't work, and they will not give you life long weight loss results. Most of the weight loss from dieting is temporary. Most people gain all the weight they lost right back after they get off the diet.

Instead of dieting try to gradually improve your eating habits. Do it slowly and gradually. Let's say you usually eat 4 junk foods in an average day, then try eating 3 junk foods per day for the next week. Once you can do it for a week, then cut out another junk food for the following week.

Don't take these as rules. Be flexible. If you can't stop eating junk foods, the last thing you need is more rules on how or when to eat them. Go easy on yourself. And most importantly don't ever completely deprive yourself of junk foods, eat them in moderation instead.
