I've been battling this habit (and winning) by logging a food journal of EVERYTHING I eat, and noting the portions.

There are lots of programs available to do this. I use a (free) website: FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal

It has full nutritional information on most foods or meals, lets you add new ones if necessary, and generates easy to read reports so that you can track your progress or compare your calories burned per day vs. calories eaten.


The first few days were really eye-opening, when I could see in cold hard numbers just how much crap I was putting in my mouth.

I've been logging and of course I have been on diets for years... It seems to me... that there are times I find it harder to stick to the diet [in spite of the fact I am definitely loosing weight right now...] My mother had the same problem and spent a lot of time in TOPS and OA....

Right now... I have a computer and I also have insurance that will pay for a dietician... but in the past these tools weren't available for me... and I know there are a lot of people who don't have these benefits... I know that TOPS and OA might be beneficial...

I'm really surprised that there isn't a group in Southern Maryland [North Beach is 1/2 hour away after a long day at work.... ]

I'm thinking of starting one down here if there isn't one already...

Oh and toppick... yes of course I googled it... ignorance is not a side affect....

Have you thought about going on the "Biggest Loser" TV show to get help from them? I really enjoy watching this TV show and rooting for each members to keep losing weight and eating healthier. I think they can help you with your overeating issue problem. Everyone have thier own issues of why they are overweight. If you decide to go on the TV show, please let me know, so I can ROOT For You!

I can't take the time off of work and sure wouldn't go on that show... all that fat hanging out just grosses me out...
