I live a relatively active life but I struggle with eating too much. I feel like there is no diminishing returns when I eat something. Each chip tastes just as good as the last one. So I will be craving food but know it’s not healthy for me to eat more. I’m trying to find ways to ignore that feeling or dismiss it.

Are there any tips or methods you use to help with that? Impulse control is the hardest thing to work on sometimes.

Only thing that works for me is to never go shopping hungry. That way I am able to not buy unhealthy food and snacks. So if I want to eat or snack there are no unhealthy options.

So either I'm actually hungry and will eat what is there. Or I'm not that hungry. Also there is no chance my lazy ass is going to go and get any snacks even if I feel like I really want them.
