Question by ajbbbygrl: How can I keep my mind off food and eating?
I am a normal weight, maybe a little on the skinny side. I always think and watch what I eat because, I’ll admit, I’m a little afraid of gaining weight. The problem is, I always think and plan about food, and if I eat too much I feel guilty about it. I plan things around snacks, healthy snacks, and meals. I’m constantly thinking about how much I’ve eaten or what I will eat. How can I help to keep my mind off food and gaining weight, but still eat healty?

I have some tricks to keep my mind off of eating.
1. Clean your bathroom or windows. Not only does it keep you busy but the smell gets to you and makes food unappetizing
2. Brush your teeth or chew gum. Most foods taste gross with minty breath
3. Think about chewing the food you want to eat. Then think about chewing on a buch of hair. Then think about eating the food again. Thats enough for me to turn down just about anything.
4. Paint your nails. The smell is so strong that eating anything tastes like polish
5. Go for a drive and bring minimal cash so you won’t be tempted to get food but your out of your house and away from the temptation of food
Hope I helped

Your obsessing is worrisome. Consider therapy with someone who specializes in eating disorders. There’s no reason to beat yourself up is you have a bit more than minimum food once in a while. It’s not as though one candy bar will make you gain 50 pounds — you need to try to be more realistic about food.
Eat. Eat often. Just eat lots of healthy stuff. If you postpone eating, you obsess more, because your body is telling you to eat.
It’s not so much how MUCH, but WHAT you eat.
You need fat and oils, but you don’t need a lot of them.
You know the drill: lots of fresh veggies and fruits; whole grains; some protein.
After you’ve filled up on that stuff, then have a little of the naughty stuff.
You don’t have a problem with being overweight — but you ARE working toward anorexia — which kills.
