Ever since I was a kid I have tended to binge on sweets and savory food, fortunately I have never been more than a few pounds overweight because I exercise like a madman. But one can't do that forever, better to control our appetite, as you realize. I find it helpful to be mindful. My tendency was to eat mindlessly, frequently while doing other things. I have recently discovered that if I actually focus on the food I am eating, and savor each bite, I get so much more out of it. I have recently actually eaten only 4 small cookies (1 serving) and felt satisfied, lol. So the key is re-framing our perspective and thoughts around food. Eat healthy, slowly and appreciate the experience more fully!
