Do I eat too much? Help!!!!

(Healthy Stealthy wrote in message . com... I have unsuccessfully been trying to lose weight for a few years now; 25 to 30 pounds, to be exact. Below is what I have been eating for the last several days. What do you think about the way I eat? Thanks for your help. Day 1: 2 Fried Eggs 3 Coffees 1 Cheese burger and French Fries 1 Coffee 2 Chocolate Donuts 1 Small Peace of Chocolate 3 Pieces of Pizza 2 Bowels of cereal right before I go to bed. Day 2: 3 Bowls of Life Cereal before Bed 4 Small hot dog snacks 1 Pop corn 2 Ice creams 5 Cookies 1 Big bowl of Macaroni 1 Clondike bar I know I have a problem of eating. I want to know how to get this under control. A lot of it is emotional eating. I want to stop smoking, but I fear gainging weight. And since I eat for emotional reasons I don't know how I will be able to eat right after I give up the smokes. How can I fix my problem? Thanks It's not that you're eating too much, it's that you're eating the wrong things, and some of them at the wrong time of day. First, try cutting back on your fats. You are living on junk. Up your lean protein levels; nice fishes, lean red meats, and members of the domesticated fowl population , instead of hotdog snacks and pizza. Cereal is for breakfast, and one cup is enough if you have it with some yogurt or grapefruit. Pizza is OK on occasion, but use it as a reward for yourself and your arteries will bless you. Try omelets or poached eggs instead of fried ones; try limiting fried eggs to maybe twice a month. And have a bit of toast or a nice lean pork chop or ham cutlet with them! Try not to eat anything heavy before bedtime. If you feel hungry, it may be your body being thirsty and your brain misreading the signal. Try drinking some nice sparkling spring water or a cup of tea with honey instead of munching so much cereal at bedtime. I personally try not to eat anything fatty or starchy at all after 9 or 10 at night. Try, also, having regular meals. Breakfast, a light lunch, and a good dinner. Your body works better that way. Of course, slip in some snacks between meals, but try to have something good for you instead of something sugary/fatty/starchy. Veggies or fruit will stay with you longer than the stuff that is in donuts and the like, trust me. Hope this helps! Annie -- "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps."
