Can't stop eating

Hey rog, thanks for replying. Ever since i know that i have gained weight, i have stopped taking the bus to the tube station, since it is only 2 stops away. So since like 3 weeks ago, i stopped taking the bus and when i go to work, instead of taking the life, i take the stairs. I'm working on the 6th story so i guess that is helping me to burn some extra calories. However, i think these little calories that i ate is still not enough. And yes, thanks for reminding me that self-discipline is the only way and it is the best way. I really need to start to discipline my daily calories intake! Hey here and there, thank you for replying and i really love your username. are you trying to say that i should try to do other activities so i will not think about food?

yes, i think it's a combination of the change in climate plus what marguicha alluded to, anxiety or stress or still adjusting to new surroundings without your usual support group like family and friends. maybe is he/she indulged in other activities, it would help.

I also think that you should try to avoid chocolates if possible. Chocolates contains lots of calories.

@dream_ozn: trying to avoid chocolate, my friend. You can't stop immediately but you should stop eating it as early as possible. Gained 5kg is too much!

Hey tkonlineven, I know i really should stop my chocolate eating now!! but are you serious when you ask me to stop eating chocolate immediately? Like not even alittle? And yes, i having gained like 5kg since i reach London :( and this is really really bad. Eat vegetables only? I'm feeling depressed already :( but thank you so much for your advice. I will try to adhere to this as much as possible. Hey ajithlal, i know. i really should avoid chocolate because it have far too much calories and it is really bad.

Hey mtvmtv, this is a strange problem? i really have to start being careful otherwise if i get obese then it will be very very very bad.

If you bought chocolate with more cocoa in it (say, Bournville, for example, it's in a red and gold wrapper) that may be a better chocolate for you than Diary Milk or something like that. My Grandad loved Bournville and it never did him any harm.

Hey Janey, you mean the more i eat, the more i will crave for food and chocolate? I would be happy to bake a cake myself, but it's really troublesome!! But you are right, we won't know how much sugar there is in shop-bought chocolate

Hey Janey, i think I get your idea here that the good chocolates are really good and having a piece or two won't harm us. But the issue with these chocolates, like Bournville is that they are expensive :)

I also think that most probably you can put the money you have to buy the chocolate to the piggy bag.

Hey mrswhitfield, that's the exact same thing that i'm experiencing right now. And i've already gianed like 5kg ever since i came to the UK and that is really bad. I totally just can't help and have no idea why i keep craving for all those snacks. The piggy bank sounds like a good idea. at the end of my term, i could use that money to buy smoething tha ti like :)

Hey sandaikite, you mean if i have chocolate it will give me a short burst of energy but after that i'll feel hungry very fast? Yes, it's really not good to eat alot of chocolate and totally bad for my health. But if i resist my hunger, will i get gastric pains? And you are right, i really should have a regular time for meal rather than relying on my stomach to give me the timing to eat.

Taking a meal everyday is very good for your healt, but resisting it for too long is not good either. I don't mean like you should resist it immediatly, but time to time. Cutting off some of your daily snacks we can say it will be good too, so don't cut all of your snacks all at once because it's better if you take it slow and easy. I'm sorry but I'm not that much familiar with gastric pains. But what is important is that you can cut off some of your snacks evey mounth or less, drink more water, but not too much, more fruits and good luck :)

Hey sandaikite, i think i get what you are trying ot say. TO try to reduce my calories slowly by slowly with each meal and to drink more water which i think i am also lacking it too. THanks:)

Hey Krausehome, So you think my eating of chocolates is just a natural sign? But i think i would agree with you that it has to do with my nerves for being in a new palce, far away from my family. I will definitely concentrate on eating more healthly. Even if i don't, i still myself another 2.5 weeks to indulge becuase i'm going back home after then :)

Hey ajithala, this sounds like a very interesting idea and i will try to follow this. This sounds hard too.

It is hard, but will be successful dreams if made. I think you should try to keep yourself busy and this will help you.

Hey Ajithla, Thank you for reminding me. If i keep myself busy, i will forget everything and this is not only a good way to diet, it is also a good way to forget other things such as relationship issues which i am currently facing since this mornign :( i really hope my relatinship issues will go away soon. i believe it will. And thank you for reminding me that successful dream are hard, but if we persevere, we will be able to make it :)

Hey marguicha, thank you for your reply, but no, i'm not fighting anxiety in any way. But to think about it, I might, because i'm now on a study exchange far away from home and therefore, i might :) i might also have stress becuase I'm now with a new group of friends and totally out of my comfort zone so i might be really stresse too! Any idea how to manage stress beside chocolate?

Hey roshigo, thanks for your advice, Indeed, many people loves chocolates. But in order not to gain weight, i need to keep myself at bay. i should not eat excessively. A little is okay just for pleasure. but not too much for it. You are right. Everythign should be done moderately :) thanks :)
