Tracking the food you eat might help. If you commit yourself to taking a photo and writing a brief description of everything you eat (every meal, every second helping, every quick bite during prep, every snack) and sending it to someone, the resistance that generates will often be enough of a pause to get past the urge. You might alternatively start this with just your
dinner if that’s the biggest problem.

But you have to be honest about it and not omit food from the tracking.

This is a great place to start, it's so common for us to be super avoidant and not really notice or feel the reality of how much we're really eating. Having a no-judgement week or 2 of just documenting and calculating how many calories we're taking in vs how much is actually needed to run our bodies has really snapped me into reality.

I second this. I've started using an app to track what I eat, and it's been eye-opening where my problem areas were- I didn't know just how much I snacked, and I really didn't pay attention to serving sizes.
