so i can't stop eating..

[buttons]

in before "you're fat"
i'm 5'3 and weigh 6st9, don't care if you believe me or not. thanks to my genes i always stay skinny.
so i stopped smoking december last year n ever since i've just always been hungry. i even started smoking again last week just to stop it (i'm stopping again not worth it)


i eat a multivitamin every day, i never used to eat breakfast or lunch but now i do with dinner yet i still have a lot of room for snacks. i'm like never full, it's not as though i'm doing it out of boredom. all my weight goes to the top (not really complaining). i run 6 miles 3x a week so i'm not incredibly unfit. i'm probably taking in a lot more than i should with the multivitamin n all..


anyway any tips on how to stop myself? there's only 2 of us living at home yet my mum buys A LOT of crap so i end up eating most of it. she's always telling me to put on some weight (even though she said i have a big bum it's not true:@) so i doubt she's gonna stop buying it all

Why stop if you don't put on weight. Sounds like heaven to me!

that's what i used to think when i was younger but i wanna stay healthy, i do eat healthy meals but also a lot of sugary crap not drank any juice (except pure orange) or fizzy drinks for a very long time - other than as mixers with alcohol.

oh yeh i brush my teeth after a meal so i don't go eating as it'll taste horrible but i'll go eat as soon as the taste goes >.>

I'm 5'6 and weight 8st3, I've always stayed skinny no matter what also.

I reckon it sounds like you're keeping yourself occupied rather than anything else. All that time spent drawing from a cigarette is now consumed by consuming!

Well chocolate is probably better than high carb sugary items. If it's comfort food then pancakes with natural syrups like maple are better than refined sugar. Carbs and refined sugar tend to make you hungrier. I have to watch my diet and find the options 40 cal chocolate drinks are good. If you deprive yourself of something sweet then it will make your cravings worse. They say always have a bit of carb and protein for breakfast and it will make you less hungry. I quite often have cheese on toast or scrambled/poached eggs on toast. It does seem to work. Pure orange juice is quite high in calories and water is a great substitute.

Yeh, a lot would be giving your mouth something to do after quitting smoking, i've had the feeling too when you either want to eat or smoke. Chewing gum would be a great solution to that.

yeah. when i first stopped id put on lipgloss or brush my teeth but its 3 months now the cravings are gone, food tastes soooo much better that i just want to eat all the time. might have to go back to doing that then

I used to be quite similar and although it may sound weird I found eating yoghurts actually helped. Rather than getting a pack of crisps I'd just have a yoghurt and it made me feel so much better. I don't know whether it actually works but it definately made me feel fuller, I guess it could just be me though
