I often find myself eating when I am not really hungry.  Maybe I just eat out of boredom.  I have made an effort to determine if in fact I am really hungry before I eat something.  I drink a glass of water if I think I am hungry and wait like 10-15 minutes.  Often times, I don’t feel hungry after that.  So I guess that means I was not really hungry.  Like a lot of times I will come home from work and make dinner even though I really don’t feel any hunger pangs.  Its kind of hard to fight though.  Maybe its just the act of eating that I desire and not the food itself.

Or if I go to a restaurant I feel obligated to finish my food because I don’t want to waste money.  I have finished many plates when I was kind of stuffed.  Its like I can’t stand to see anything left on my plate.  I am trying to overcome this because I think it is critical to my weight loss journey.   I guess I just have to get over it though.
