I can't stop eating

[the oak]

I have zero self-control, it's like a subconcious impulse for me to go to my kitchen and start stuffing my face in. How do I control this?

[SweetSue]

It depends, have you always been this way ?
Is it possible that it is meds related ?

[the oak]

No, it's just because I'm trapped in my house and incredibly bored and it's a subconcious impluse, like blinking.

then maybe you can control your eating through boredom by doing something to occupie your mind, like art, or reading or something you enjoy doing :)

When you say your trapped in your house , is it because you fear going outside? If you can go outside can you goout for walks ? Even short , brief walks are good for you?
Do you have any hobbys? People do eat when they are bored all the time . The thing is that you are going to need to find activities to fill in your time instead of eating.
Drinking water also is very good for you , and will help you feel full. But, don't overdue it. If you want to eat, than eat healthful snacks. Not junkfood all the time. Fruit and vegetables, yogurt , and healthy foods in the home only . Prevent the temptation from even being there in the first place.
My son loves to snack on foods too. Just because we have it around the house. He now is a pretty big boy. I buy stuff to make for his school lunch, but he wants to eat all of it for snacks .
I have to talk to him all the time about this . Keep healthy snacks at home .
