Eating is something meant to do when hungry, not because something sounds good or you percieve yourself to be hungry. Training your mind to 'think' why you want to eat and realize that it is not because you are really hungry is all in your power. This almost spills over to a 'therapist' session, so it is up to you to do this. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

If you believe in Oriental medicine (once you have been cleared by your MD), you may elicit an acupuncturist's advice to help determine something more subtle in your overall health that a western doctor may not be trained to find. For example when there is a "spleen deficiency" one tends to crave sugars. Best of luck, don't give up!
