Thinking about eating right now! I am not hunger, I have had plenty, more then plenty really. Yet right now I want to eat. I started feeling nerves and antsy about a half hour ago and I dont know what to do with myself.
I eat to tranquilize myself sometimes, that just one reason I eat
I dont know what I will do. If I eat it will certainly make me feel bad later
but I want it now

I know this post is probably a little bit late but hang in there The urges do pass. Next time, can you try something else instead? I have found for me that having a large glass of water or chewing gum can help. I feel like I'm eating without actually eating.

Or distraction methods - if can keep myself busy for an hour, not thinking about food, then the urges often pass.

Thinking of you

Suggestion : sounds daft, but it works. Brush your teeth.
Now, do you want to spoil that fresh, clean feeling ?
Minty fresh mouth, clean and tingly.

^Ladyzero has a point. Sometimes it's just your mouth that needs to taste something stimulating.

Anytime I have the urge to eat even though I'm not hungry I realize it's a void I'm trying to fill: either it's boredom or loneliness. I still struggle with finding something else to fill this void with. When I get frustrated enough with it, I end up forcing myself to sleep.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
