[QUOTE="Patch, post: 301705, member: 13526"] I am JUST like you. I have a natural compulsion to overeat. It is like a knawing hunger that I can't control - partly in my brain, and strangely, partly in my mouth (I call it "mouth hunger"). I sometimes pig out on chocolate and crisps. (Boost, Starbar, Cheesy Puffs, Nachos, etc... All VERY bad stuff). When I eat, I get depressed. And it goes in cycles. Sometimes, I look at really fat people and think to mysef "they must be SO happy - eating whatever they want, whenever they want". Of course, this isn't true, but my own mind makes the connection between eating and feeling good, and eating and getting fat - so being fat (and the eating that goes with it) must also make you feel good? Right??? Wrong. :thumbdown: I am also a prolific yo-yo dieter. Recently I have been on a 2 week diet that REALLY helped me get my eating (especially my snacking!) under control. If you google "Commando Diet" you'll find a 2 week diet sheet, with 3 set meals everyday, and NO snacks in between. For me, the set meals were great - when diets allow you to make choices on what you eat at each meal I find that straying is more likely to happen. Goo dluck to you - I know EXACTLY how you feel, and can reassure you that you CAN get on track! [/QUOTE]
