Good luck !!

I eat so much, cause I’m always bored. Get a bike, or some kind of outside activity that involves excercising at the same time that you are having fun. This reduces your hunger in no time. It worked for me! Try it!

Try doing something else when you get the urge to eat, like go for a power walk, or go biking, some kind of exercise, read a book. Try to get your mind off the food. Or take a handful of nuts and seeds and a big glass of water, they will fill you till your next meal is due. Maybe you could talk to somebody you trust and find out the reasons you may be unhappy, or stressed, this is the main cause of overeating.

Maybe your just really hungry.
