[quote=Anonymous]I like the book Intuitive Eating. After I read it, I went from regularly scarfing a half box of cookies/bag of chips to being able to eat just a serving or so. Or I’ll have half a cupcake and stop. Sometimes I still overdo it (like with pizza), but it really helped. It was kind of a gradual change over a few months.

The most helpful part of the book for me was it had you notice how you feel after every food you eat, good and bad. Eg, if you eat a bunch of cookies, notice how your teeth feel gross, your breath is bad and your heart is racing. If you eat a salad, notice how you feel energized after. Over time you build negative associations with the foods that make you feel bad. Now when I look at a box of cookies I immediately think of that sickly feeling I’ll have after, and most of the time it deters me from eating them. It sounds too simple but it really does work.

You have to read the whole book though because the additional context and necessary and there are other ideas/tools.[/quote]
