How Can I Stop Eating So Much?!

How Can I Stop Eating So Much?

I'm average weight for my height and age, but when I get bored I eat and eat and eat! I feel like its uncontrollable. I tell myself that I won't eat something or will only have a little bit, but I end up eating a ton! I pig out on carbs or sweets and when I'm done I always feel so sick and fat. I don't want to move or do anything. I'm also always really tired. I try to explain this to my mom but she just yells at me and tells me to stop. I tell her I can't, but she thinks I'm just making up excuses. I really want to eat healthy and to stop eating so much. My goal is to lose 15-20 lbs. Please help me to stop eating so much junk!

Here are some suggestions:
When you are eating, make sure it is the only thing you are focused on. Don't eat while doing your homework or watching TV, because you will not realize how much you are really eating. This results to your sick feeling when you are finished. Another way to control eating is to have a scheduled time to eat. Example: Let's say you will have lunch at 12 everyday, and a snack at 3. Then maybe you have dinner at 6.

If that fails you, try eating the same thing everyday. It helps your mind keep in tact with the rest of your body. The last thing I would suggest to you is to eat everything in a bowl/on a plate. This will show you how much you are eating. Try to limit what you are eating to two helpings.

All of this will take getting used to, and you will also have to try to become more active. This will also take your mind off of food. Search in the search bar on Yahoo! Answers about losing weight and I'm sure others have given some great suggestions.

Good luck!
