Something that has been helpful to me is that I avoid doing my groceries weekly. I do so on a near daily basis. This means I avoid getting things I don't require, getting only those I actually need. By shopping in this manner. I just don't have that food to munch on to begin with.
In my own experience I have been gradually losing weight. Oh I still need to do so but I am now below that of where I was prior to diagnosis ( and the intro of meds in my case).
Combat boredom. Change shopping habits.

Thanks. When I was on the ketogenic diet I bought a week's worth of food and did food prep, so had 7 frozen containers of a protein and vegetable meal for dinner. The other meals were a green smoothie for breakfast and something like a salad and some protein like hard boiled egg or cottage cheese for lunch. It was boring. No real snacks. If I felt hungry I drank tea. I kept a food journal. It worked, I lost weight, and physically felt great. But it was strict and hard to maintain.
When I started to introduce more variety that's when things got out of hand.
Sigh. I am pretty sure I have an eating disorder. It gets out of hand when I am stressed. I lose discipline. I don't think I eat from boredom. It is more about stress.
Yeah, I have been known to shop for food daily. It's called fast food.
When the guys at Burger King and Subway start knowing your order before you speak then you have a problem!
