Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aww. -hugs- I think I know how you feel, actually. I'm like that. I eat without even realising it.

I find that if I just keep myself busy, I don't eat so often. Not so much as actually going out and finding something to do, but if I sit and play a game, or colour, or do just about anything that requires a tiny amount of thought, then I don't eat.

.... of course, then I get to the point where I'll go a day or two without eating because I'm too locked on the game. sweatdrop

Hmm. neutral Sometimes if you are fully aware of something, you can stop it.. that's how I stopped biting my nails. I used to do it without realizing, but I bitched myself out enough times that now I finally realize when I'm about to do it, and I'm able to stop myself.

Damn...evil poptarts.

I eat like that sometimes. But more specifically I eat when I'm lonely. I know that started when I was little and left alone in the house with my grandmother who had a brain disease and would sleep 18 hours of the day and be groggy for the rest. As a treat my uncle and my mom would bring home snacks for me to eat...and let's just say it has only escalated from there. Doing something helps me not to feel lonely. Now I eat when someone is in the house with me and not when I'm alone. It helps...I don't bindge eat...often. sweatdrop

aww *hugs* i use to be that way when i was 12. But now i have to eat more because i only eat dinner. Sure i lose alot of weight since i dont drink pop and drink tea and eat healthier (exp. for tonight i had 'Toco Hell' ghetto mexican food) But thats all i eat usually unless someone is putting tasty snack foods in m face then i give in ^^" Well how about instead of drinking pop drink tea with Sweet n low. And if snacking try an apple or oranges and such. For meals eat smaller portions and of course excersise (unless it makes you gain weight like it does me @.@) maybe that will help ^^"

I haven't cared about my diet in awhile, I've been too busy tending to the kiddies and keeping the house clean, but I really do need to get back on track if I want to meet my goal of being 140-150 pounds.

I need to increase my water intake and get veggies and prepare them the night before that way if I get the munchies I have something already made...I'm the kind of person that if it's too much fuss to make something, I'll go for convience and that usually not the best thing, heh sweatdrop

Mmmm...poptarts

something I've found I'm able to do is buy fat free chips like Lay's WOW! brand. But don't have twice the amount of chips as you would regular ones if that's something you snack on, have the same amount. then GRADUALLY cut down

I'm not a big pop-tart fan myself. However I can list the foods I love that do not love me back:

Big Fluffy Fruist Filled Pastrys: Aka Pie, Turnovers, Croissants
Cakes: Especially Black Forrest, Red Velvet, Chocolate and Cheesecake
Cheese: Just about any kind
Hot Dogs, beef kind preferably covered in chili, cheese, onions and mustard
Pepperoni or BBQ Pizza
Mexican Food, especially Chimicangas

Yeah, those are my favorites. I hate pasta and I'm not a big rice fan. Usually if it's fattening, I like it. I eat when I'm bored, or upset a lot of the time. I also overeat when I like something because I eat it too fast sad

I've been trying to keep on hand fruits because their sweet. Like right now in the fridge is fruit salad, watermelon, cantalope, blue berries and I believe honeydew and cherries, all fresh and thrown together.
