I am always eating, I eat when I'm bored, I eat when I'm depressed, I eat to make myself happy & I eat when I'm hungry, and I am ALWAYS hungry.
There is nothing wrong with me, I've been checked over by my Doctor, my thyroid is normal, I just eat.

I am sick of myself and I am sick of it. How can I stop eating so much? Or what can I do to lessen my appetite or make me feel fuller for longer?

lots...

Keep v v v busy...to the pace tht u dnt have time to eat.

Drink more water, Fills you up more.

Eat rice a lot. It's good for u, not fatening & FILLING!! snack on some rice & rice cakes when u feel youve ate loads and loads.

Try finding other things that makes you happy, other thn eating...perhaps take up more extra hobbys or activities that will satisfy you more than oral gratification...

I studyed psychology and a big believer of Sigmund freuds theory perhaps you eat so much as you lacked oral satisfaction as a child. Whats my point you may be thinking? Yawn! Yawn...well if my above methods fail or have been tried..why not ask ur GP for a Cognitive/behavioural psychologist...They see you in 6 sessions, its free on the nhs and what they will do is change your behaviour and thinking...see whenever you feel happy or sad regardless you eat. So they help you change your cognitive thinking and your behaviour. This is just a suggestion however! But i'd certainly give it a bash!

bananas are v filling, and one of your 5 a day.
take jadeymodels advice, theres a lot of it. i read it n im gonna do that myself.
lol to miaow, but good 4 u!

Try eating oats in various forms too ... they are a slow release food so don;e leave you feeling hungry so often. Try soup in the middle of the day; it's filling, and isn't too heavy on the calories.

And don't overdo the water/liquid intake; too much water can alter the sodium balance in your blood which isn't good for you.
well i forked out for a hypnotist and lost a stone, but i WISH i had the sense to do what jadeymodel said and get an appointment with a cognitive therapist on the nhs, burger it..... oh i mean bugg3r it!
