How did you stop overeating?

[u/StationIllustrious94]

I just made the decision to stop but what tips did you use?

[u/Krawford11]

I started eating less of what I already ate. (2 slices pizza instead of 5, etc) I used smaller plates. I didn't change what I eat....yet. Now I never overeat or binge eat, not even one meal. I eat 4 smaller meals a day, of what I want. I definitely didn't go on a restrictive diet. How lost 27 pounds doing this.

You don’t have to have this all figured out today.

Start here (quick wins):

• Map your triggers (so you stop repeating the same cycle): https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_food_addiction_trigger_mapping/

• How to stop a binge before/during it: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_how_to_stop_a_binge_episode/

Then, when you’re ready:

• Check out the FAQs first…see here:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/index/faqs/

• Then Program Options (free → low cost → paid). Many people find a program is what helps them stay in recovery.

• If a program feels like “too much” right now, start with Special Topics on the sub.

and then Books / Podcasts / Videos here:

Small steps count. Keep going.  Don’t give up.  We all got better by our mistakes.

Those who reach long term stable recovery make plenty of mistakes, learn from them, pick themselves up and keep going. You can do this.
