A little tip I have found to work well:
Every time you find yourself about to eat, whether it be going to a restaurant, grocery store, reaching for the snack on the corner of the table, saying "yah totally I can go for dinner" ect. Ask yourself one question. Am I hungry? It's a mental question with a physical answer. So, say to yourself, "Am I hungry?" And then close your eyes and wait. Feel your stomach, is your body telling you it needs something? Or is it your mind. Sometimes overeating is caused by the mind becoming bored and searching for stimulus, no matte the outcome. After trying it a few times it will become quite clear whether your body actually wants food or your mind is saying, ya lets eat just because.
I have found applying this type of self observance can be not only an interesting experience but has cut back on unnecessary consumption which allows me to feel better, healthier and leaner. In fact after a while I found myself going out to dinner with friends and not even ordering anything because I plain just wasn't hungry!
Anyway, thought I'd share something that works for me. If you try and it nothing comes, well you haven't lost anything.
