I'm reading an interesting book about beating overeating at the moment, called Beyond Temptation, written by two British sisters. I've got the Kindle version. Also, one by Gillian Riley, the title of which escapes me, has been very helpful to me too.

Hi Tracy, it's called Eating Less. There's also her website called eatingless dot com. I have been applying Gillian's advice and am very happy not to be dieting any more.
"anyone have some top tips to help me stop over eating until I'm full? I keep doing it ! but at the time I just don't think ! "
ALB, have a look at the website I mentioned above, you can read chapter one of her book for free and read her monthly newsletters. See what you think.

That's the one! You'd think I'd remember as I've read it three times, lol. Found it enormously helpful. I haven't adopted all her advice, as I still weigh myself and am still pretty focused on weight loss; I was morbidly obese and was naturally very keen on weight reduction as a goal. But a lot of the other advice I've very much taken on board, and whilst I do still overeat on occasion, it's now in a much more planned and controlled way. I can really recommend the book.

I think that, for most people (me included), getting to grips with taking the emphasis off weight loss on to eating less, and subsequently not using scales to weigh myself and record losses, is very difficult.
I have been following Gillian's principles for some time now and know that a 'side effect' of doing so is weight loss because I am wearing a smaller size clothes now. However, the biggest plus for me is not having the usual dieting anxiety, you know, weekly weigh-ins, worrying about whether I've put on, eating less (or nothing!) on weigh-in day to try and get a loss, having a big meal or going to the chippy on the way home.... we've all done it
.The continued analysis she does on research studies from around the world on issues relating to food and eating habits is enormously interesting, particularly that which covers the role of our brains when we eat. It has helped me to realise that our eating habits begin in our brains, and we need to find a way to change our brains in order to create better eating habits.
She has a website, eatingless dot com, and produces monthly newsletters which are free to read. They are really handy to dip into from time to time.
You have done incredibly well to turn your eating habits around, Tracy, and I wish you the very best of luck in your continued success. I love hearing about success like yours

It's normal for people who quit smoking. When I smoked, I had something in my hand and when I quit, I was looking for other things to replace or even help no smoking so I would grab a hold of food and eventually it leads to eating out of boredom.

I don't think eating until you are 'full' is a bad thing as long as its the right foods. There is a difference between over eating and eating til you are full. If you eat the right foods that keep you fuller for longer and then eat a meal until you're full then you're less likely to snack? I also eat til i'm full, on slimming world Extra Easy plan that's the idea
