What do you do to stop eating?

[tarotwoman]

What does everybody do to stop themselves from eating? I have had my dinner, enjoyed it and am no longer hungry. Why is it then that I still want to eat?

I think part of it is relaxing my food intake over Christmas and my body has got used to it and is trying to get me to shovel more in.

I have tried all the my usual things when I get like this but would welcome any other suggestions.

The things I do are:

1. Have a bath with bubbles.
2. Exfoliate face and put mask on.
3. Brush teeth and use mouthwash.
4. Paint nails.

I've done first 3 and I'm about to do 4 now, at least if I've wet nails I can't go through the fridge.

Any more ideas please?

cover all your food in poo. Aka Marmite.

One thing I do when I want to carry on eating is brush my tea or have some chewing gum. The minty taste seems to put me off food.

The bed idea sounds good, I'm gona do that. I'll try asking myself do I really want something too. I know that most of the time I'll eat for the sake of it, it's just so hard to break the habit.
