ok, so you have realized and admitted that over eating makes you feel like crap. great, what's next?

let me ask you why do we eat at all in the first place. the answer is that we eat in order to feel good. it doesn't feel good to be hungry. it doesn't feel good to be malnourished. it feels good to eat.

but you've now recognized that it doesn't feel good to eat too much. let's add that it also doesn't feel good to eat certain things. greasy food doesn't feel good. maybe a big ol milkshake doesn't feel good.

with this limited knowledge you can now start taking control. think about what foods feel bad, what foods feel bad in excess, and what foods don't feel bad, what foods actually feel good.

now, when you're thinking about your next meal don't think about flavor first, think about what will make you feel good after you've finished eating. flavor comes after this. a big ol greasy cheese burger tastes great, but doesn't feel great after. how about a smaller cheese burger? out how about a falafel?

keep this up and build it into a habit. when we get stressed we fall back on our habits. if you build healthy thinking into a habit then when you get stressed you'll eat healthy and you'll feel better.

this will take time. but quitting isn't going to get you there any faster.
