I’m chronically overeating for my height and weight

[purpleviolet01]

And don’t know how to stop. It’s because of habit, fatigue and just mindless eating really. Plus busy job, kids, health issues.

any tips to help me? I know I need to hydrate much better.

What are you eating? If its not great food can you change to a similar amount of better food then cut back as necessary?

I've been trying to hit 30g fibre and 75g protein each day plus 30 plants a week. It's changed what I eat without actively trying to drop the less healthy stuff.

I also stress /boredom eat and found it useful to recognise how I felt before I ate. So just saying whether I was bored, tired, stressed, lonely, sad or whatever. I didn't try to change the eating part but started to feel a bit stupid saying 'I'm lonely' then eating a biscuit knowing it won't make me less lonely!

Not fixes but easy changes worth thinking about.

I'm in this cycle as well. Tips - probably awareness. Take 2 mins to ask yourself where you're over eating and what choice you could make instead at that moment.

Don't diet immediately - aim is just stop it going up and stay at one level for a period.

Start with eliminating one 'unhealthy thing.

Then try and crowd in healthier choices (these don't have to be boring, what do you like or would like to try) and crowd out the less healthy ones gradually.

Don't crowd every single one out - keep one thing that you like but trust yourself not to binge on.

As and when you get more energy plan to try new recipes.

Need to take this advice myself over next couple of weeks!

Thanks - what sort of things do you eat to hit your fibre goal?

So hard isn’t it 😔
