So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

Identify if you’re doing this because you are feeling some particular type of emotion such as anxiety or stress, sadness, happiness, boredom, etc.

It’s hard to catch it so you should journal for a few days and see what you come up with.

If it’s tied to an emotion, you have to find a new way to deal with it - listen to music, walk around, ...

If it’s because you want to chew or crunch, you have to find an alternative like gum.

FIRST, literally track it to see what’s driving the behavior then change or modify it.

If it’s boredom, you have to find remedies to help with the boredom- workout, hot bath, meditation podcast or something like that, music, talk to a friend/peer, go for a walk.

The trick is to reprogram your mind to do differently. Once your brain is aware and accepting of you doing something else you love opposed to eating, it’ll leave you alone and you’ll stop thinking like that.

Try it and tag or message me after about a week or more to let me know how you did.

Try sparkling water or other low/no calorie drink options. That has helped me fend off the “snackies” as I call it. I also love hard candies or ginger chews—one or two of those really satisfy my need to be keep my jaw busy lol

Intermittent fasting. I am the same way. Once I eat for the first time in the day, I’m hungry all day. Also, waiting to workout later in the day helps with morning hunger.

Cinnamon sticks, toothpicks, straws

My husband use to chew on straws but this can cause lockjaw because the soft tissue in the mouth can get inflamed because of too much chewing or use of the mouth. It could also lead to other disorders. Granted, too much food chewing isn’t good either.🤣

Life saver mints!

Make sure you’re drinking enough water!
