I am not using any diets or counting calories. I am trying not to think of food, or rather, treat it casually. Eat when I get hungry, whatever is there. If there is pizza at the office, eat a piece of pizza. If there is none, eat whatever I brought from home, but only when I am hungry and stop when I do not feel hungry. In the evening, at home, eat only when and if I am hungry. Not allowing myself to walk around feeling hungry, either. No fancy diets because they, in fact, focus your mind on what you eat.
I am shopping for food, but only what I remember to buy. No wandering around aisles.
And no shopping for clothes or any compulsive purchases. Avoiding sales.
It seems to work. Slowly, not too fast but I do not need it to be fast. I think the principle is to reduce stocking up. It is my own idea, but maybe such an approach exists, and perhaps someone here has tried it? I shall tell you what happens. (I never suffered from an eating disorder of any kind, just overeat, like many people, without noticing that I am hungry.)
