Emre Turk Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 [center]Recently I have begun to overeat again and have started to slip into old habits. I used to be fairly obese but cut all the weight when I was living in Turkey, I was doing a hell'a lot of swimming during the day and I burnt the weight off that way. However, I am now living in cold England where the weather is miserable. So! Any experience with over/under eating? If so what techniques would you recommend to stop overeating or to put on weight? (For those of you who need it.) [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I know habits are hard to break, but try to stop eating when you are no longer hungry. You're technically not supposed to eat until you feel full, because at that point it's considered overeating. As for some pointers... Chew gum. Find an addicting hobby to get your mind off food. Eat food that you're less likely to eat too much of. For me, my problem is underrating because I get distracted very easily and can go a long time without food. The only way I can actually gain wait is working out. (Which I haven't been doing.) :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 You can still go swimming in the UK...as long as you have money. I find trying to keep yourself stimulated, I have a habit of eating when I'm bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Chew gum and work out at home. Lift weights and do push-ups. I know you have OCD, so that might actually be an advantage if it manifests itself in making you complete fixed objectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hmm, I've experienced both overeating and under-eating when I was younger. For overeating, you just need to remind yourself to stop. Gain the willpower to do so, it's honestly not that hard if you just started. Or, if you just need to eat, then eat something healthier and make better choices of foods. Don't eat just because it's there, take the time to prepare a healthier meal. For under-eating, quite frankly, you just need to consume more of the foods you do actually start to eat. Under-eating can turn into a serious eating disorder like anorexia, so if you're seriously seeing yourself fatter than you truly are, or you just don't have confidence with your body, you need to see somebody. Don't let these delusions get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
