How do I stop eating after I'm full?

Question

I just keep eating after I'm satisfied and I eat untill im stuffed when I feel like im gonna puke. What can I do to keep myself from eating untill I feel sick? P.S. I eat like this at every meal. gross I know, but I just cant stop.
And I positive it has nothing to do w/ my emotions or stress. I'm a calm laid back person and I love my life.

I'd try limiting what you put in front of yourself in the first place. Eat healthy foods, and measure portion sizes, if you have to. Fill one half of your plate with healthy produce, one quarter healthy protien, and one quarter healthy carbs. Don't forget a big glass of water on the side. Once your plate is empty, you're done. Don't do anything else while eating like drive, read, watch tv... just pay attention to your food. If you know that all you get is right there, and you focus on enjoying what you have, then that food will be enough. It does have to do with emotions and/or stress- even if you aren't feeling that way while you eat. You must focus on relaxing, and focus on the tastes of the food. Once you are done, get up and go for a walk. Get up and go clean your bedroom, or your bathroom. Do whatever you have to do to get up and get out of the kitchen, and do something active. Then you won't be thinking about more food. You have to replace your bad habit (gorging) with a new one (something active, anything NOT involving gorging). Hope this helps~

First of all its good that you are realising what you are doing and trying to fx it... I used to be the same way... eating way too much and eating when I'm not even hungry!!
So heres a couple of things that I did to stop my eating binges::
1) Use the Plate Proportion. Look at your plate before you put any food on it and draw imaginary lines on it.... one cutting it in half and another cutting one of those halves into half. ( |-) <-- kind of like that lol. The half should be of veggies, one fourth of good carbs, and the other fourth of lean proteins.
2) Before you load on the food, think to yourself "Am I really this hungry?" "Do I really need to eat all of this food?" This should help you limit your intake of food significantly.
3) Once you start to make the food or put the food on your plate, make sure that it isn't in a mound. It defeats the purpose of dividing the plate into sections if you put a mountain of pasta on a fourth of the plate.

It helps a lot if you use measuring cups or measuring tricks:
**1/2 cup pasta or rice is the size of a tennis ball
**lean meat should be the size of a deck of cards
**cheese should be the size of a make-up wedge
**nuts should be a handful
**potato should be size of computer mouse

After all of this is done and your plate is ready, take 2 minutes to put any left overs into tupperware and into the refrigerator/ freezer. Then take your plate and eat in a different room. This prevents you from going back for seconds and eating more than you need to.

If you are eating out.... just get your order for half to go. They pre-box half of your meal for you so you get just the right amount of food for tonight... AND tomorrow!!

Hope I helped you! If you need anymore advice, let me know.

Instead of puting your food in a dinner plate, try puting in a small plate. After that food is gone... you dont serve anything else. You might feel hungry for a couple of days... but it will help your stomach get smaller and used to less food. The next time you over do on eating you will fell so bad that you wond do it again!

Answer 6

You probably have worms......Not joke, but you can get medicine for it at a health food store,..You can get worms from a lot of things(when fly's land on food for example at a buffet) but what some do is feed off of the food you eat so it make you feel like you can eat a whale. I'm almost sure that's all that is, dont worry it happened to me too when i went to camp for a while we had to eat in a cafeteria. everyday, i was there for 6 months so... yea, i got like that really bad,......i even got a funny reputation for eating so much and scarfing down so much food,lol this one guy loved to watch me eat,lmao, anyways, hope i helped.

Girl's bodies naturally take longer to metabolize food. The best thing you can do is eat at half speed. This will allow your body enough time to register when you have eaten enough. It sounds like you really just like to eat. I am the same way but slow eating and foods with high water content help, like fruits and veggies. Good luck

Answer 8

My vote is for putting less food on the plate to begin with.

When the food is gone - you're done! Get up and step away from the table. Don't sit around and chat... go somewhere else and chat.

If this is when you're alone, then you may have a personal eating problem. If you can't overcome this on your own, please seek help.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Drink a big glass of water right before you eat! It will fill your tummy up but it won't add to your waist. It's actually good to have water to aid in digestion, so you will fill up faster and not so much on food. ALSO try eating slower. Your body takes time to tell your brain you're full, so if you eat slower, you may find you're feeling of "full" comes quicker and before you're dying.

Answer 10

Put the fork down, get up and walk away from the table. I'm lucky, I guess, my body won't let me eat until I'm sick. I start gagging on food when my body has gotten enough. But anyway, try what I said. It takes discipline, but you can do it. Good luck.

Answer 11

When you go out, ask for a box at the start of your meal. Pack up half of the meal and eat the rest.
