How to stop over eating.

A large part of it is will power and self control...another part is eating foods with fiber, that are filling and will stick with you, versus stuff that burns of quickly and leaves you with the munchies a short while later...
When you feel hungry or a snack attack coming on, drink a large glass of water...if you are still hungry after that, eat a small, healthy snack and then do something to distract yourself...
Make yourself a rule, that you won't eat late...perhaps incorporate an evening workout into your schedule (I'm rarely hungry right after working out) if it won't upset your sleep schedule badly...
Hang in there...when you start eating less, you'll become accustomed to it and you tend to want less after a while...it's just getting to that point that's the challenge...

Believe me there is only one single way: delayed gratification. Just put in mind that if you eat a desert tonight, you will feel happy on the spot (but feel guilty later) but if you forgo that desert, you will be very happy in 2 months when you reach your ideal weight. If you are able to be tough on yourself for 1 week only and find ways (be creative) to distract yourself from food, then the following week it will be so easy as your stomack will not require food anymore. Eat healthy, and check online to see which diets fit you best: protein diets or carbs... and stick to small portions. At night, you can munch on cucumbers and a few carrots, lettuce and a tomato. Eat them slowly so that your mind registers that you're not hungry anymore.

I substitute sleep. I know that exercise would be better, but as long as I am awake, I am hungry and i want to eat. Once I am asleep, though, I forget all about it. The other benefit is that I am well rested during the day, unlike most of the population.

train yourself to eat less. it will take time, but if you eat less your stomach will shrink and will take less to fill. eat something filling for dinner, like protien. I do reccomend eating a couple hours before bed though. this way your body just ate and for the time you sleep its not storing what you ate for dinner into fat. you body is used to eating a couple hours at a time, but we sleep straight through with out eating. but eat something healty.
