What Can I Do To Overcome Eating Out Of Boredom?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sunrise, FL

I am an emotional eater. It's part of the way I was raised, and whenever I feel happy or sad, I seem to turn to food. Sometimes I feel the need to eat when I'm bored. I can have just finished a meal and then 15 minutes later, I'll feel the need to eat more.

I'm trying to lose the weight and hate feeling the strong desire/craving for food. I don't even care what I eat, lettuce or pasta, I just feel the need to be constantly eating. It's not a craving for any specific food... I've been trying to… read more

Does Anyone Know Why A Person Would Feel Hungry All The Time.

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ft Myers

I eat a meal and like an hour later I feel like I have not eaten in hours. I have also woken up in the middle of the night feeling like I am starving and of course all of this is making me gain a lot of weight. I have just moved and I am in the process of getting a new doctor. Any ideas why I would suddenly feel like this, what I can do, what kind of doctor I should see, tests that should be done. Any help would be so appreciated.
