Jen....you are talking to a male eating disorder survivor here...and I can empathize with you. Here are a couple of 'tricks'..or just some friendly advise, as I too am struggling with losing weight.
1) If you get 'the urge', you know, an attack of hunger that is outside of your regular meals, you can still eat something small, but, if it is in the evening, try going into bed earlier and relaxing. I go to bed earlier these days, and even take a nap once in awhile, and it seems to reduce my night-time food cravings.
2)Excersize even if it is for 4 minutes a day...just walk out your front door, and turn around again! Keeping that up is the hardest part..I know.
Well...I wish I could offer more....but even if you are defeated one day, there is always another.
It's hard also...but I try to keep myself distracted from food.I hope you can find something there to help.
Best to ya,
Jay
