How to overcome overeating?!
Question: How to overcome overeating?
I have been excersising and eating healthy foods, i just eat WAY too much healthy food sometimes. I'll binge on a big pile of lettuce sometimes! This has helped me stay under 200lbs, but I can't loose any weight. I'm a size 16 now and used to be a 6. I just can't seem to get over the mental block. I will be good for weeks and loose like 10 lbs then gain it back in 2 days.
Has anyone successfully conquered this? What did you do? I really need to change this in my life.

I make a meal plan of exactly what I will eat for the day and stick to it. If I don't, I will eat like crazy. I have also got crap I am dealing with, from job and living situation changes, being away from all my friends, money.....so I feel your pain.
You need to slowly cut down the amounts of foods/snacks you consume. Try to never overeat. Try to eat less grains.
Get a prescription of diet pills from your doctor. They will help you with your hunger. If not, go to a local drug store and buy caffeine pills.
The best thing for me was to educate myself on the "dangers of processed food" which includes junk food, fast food, and sweets. I watched documentary films such as:
"The Beautiful Truth"
"The Gerson Miracle"
"Sweet Misery - A Poison World"
"Food Matters"
"Simply Raw"
"FOOD.INC"
The more educated I became about food; the more "wise" decisions I was able to make & stick to it.
You'll not only help yourself but others too.
You can also make sure you exercise atleast 20 min a day like walking/running.
This is called interval training and you only need 20 min of it and you'll see great results if you've cut down on your caloric intake.
First you'll need a stop watch....
Start walking at a good fast pace for 1 1/2 min. then you sprint run for 30 secs and then back to walking fast for 1 1/2 min. more and again sprint run for 30 seconds and do that for a total of 20
min. Make sure you stretch before & after so you avoid injuries.
Hope this helps :)
