Doing other things might help? Do you work or can you go out and do other "chores" or work on developing other interests?

I've gotten so I throw away most leftovers. I don't bring food home from restaurants and don't keep the rest of the pizza after the 3-4 pieces I eat tonight. I work on paying attention to whether the food tastes good or not and when I realize it doesn't, I throw it out/don't eat anymore of it. If you can't taste the salty goodness of the potato chips anymore, put them away. I learned the hard way, when I had a cold and couldn't smell or taste at all, I ordered McDonald's french fries but couldn't taste them and realized I was still eating them anyway! It actually made me angry, because I couldn't taste them and wanted so badly to be able to so kept eating them "hoping" :-) That's when I realized a lot of my eating doesn't make sense.

When I get anxious about stopping eating I remind myself I can eat again, when I get hungry; it's not going to be the last time in my life I get to go out to eat at a restaurant :-)

There are some good-for-you foods I really like that I buy more of than other foods? I eat an apple a day :-) and always have bananas, oranges and other fruits I like. I'm too lazy to make salads so I buy the prepared carrot sticks and celery, etc. and I love artichokes so often buy them as a whole meal. I take time with my eating and pay attention to what I'm thinking and how eating "this" meal/food feels and when anxiety startes, etc. When I find myself in the refrigerator and don't quite realize how I got there :-) I think back to what I was doing/thinking immediately before and often now, find the "trigger" that made me want to escape. Eating is a pleasant escape so it makes sense to go there. Now I kind of drag myself back to what I was thinking to see if I can resolve it, without the undeserved mini-vacation :-)

I've put "shock" objects in my cabinets and refrigerator, books :-) and other things I like to see how I feel about choosing those things instead of food.

Buy less of the things you eat too much of? Don't discontinue them completely but "put off" buying them whenever you can. I'll be attracted to chips or popcorn or candy, etc. in the grocery store but then decide "next time" because I also hate to have to carry so many bags to the car :-) Shop with a list and don't allow things not on the list.

I have to make sure there are lots of "easy" to eat foods that I might like or I'll get into the snack food or overdo it on the food not quite as satisfying, trying to put quantity where quality should go. If I run out of my bagels, I'm inclined to do 4 slices of bread with butter so I either try not to run out of bagels (which I'll eat in moderation and appropriately) or have enough backup choices, sort of similar (small bowl of whole grain cereal) that don't involve butter and jelly, etc. LOL If it gets so I'm raiding my husband's snacks (he has cheap cakes and ice cream and things I, fortunately, don't normally like/eat) then I know it's time to go to the store again for more good stuff for me!

It takes a long time to change behavior and not to enjoy thinking about something you enjoy thinking about! So, I try not to censor my thoughts; I read cookbooks and think up schemes whereby I have to try one recipe a week from one of them or something creative like that. Make your food a bit hard to "get" by cooking real meals instead of settling for "fast"/frozen/microwavable food. I'm spoiled for breakfast because my husband will make my breakfast -- omelette or egg, ham, cheese sandwich; yesterday it was French toast, etc. but I do try to monitor what he's feeding me and either adjust during the rest of the day or ask him to omit the cheese or only put 1 egg on the sandwich, or sometimes, I eat before his "brunch" fixing get started and then do without.

I joined the Weight Watchers online and did that for awhile, spending my own points as I wanted, and that helped me get an idea of how "much" was a good idea to eat during a day. I think it's easy to lose track of how much things add up to but the Weight Watchers plan was helpful there for me and kind of fun trying to "get away with" some stuff and not being able to.
