A friend that was diagnosed with diabetes but then stopped it cold, did it by changing her views on food. She said that her approach used to be "living to eat." But she's turned it around by realizing that she needs to "eat to live, no more, no less." By breaking food's hold over her (what it meant to her), it changed her life.

I have been trying mints, lots of water, and fruit...seems to be helping some....long walks get me out of the house..wish I had better advice

I used to do that until I started taking Lamictal. Now I have to force myself to eat. I have zero interest in food.

Brush your teeth, after that you usually don't want to eat. Or chew gum or have a mint. Drink water or eat fruit, that's a healthy food. This is going to be hard and take disapplen. If you feel down, exercise besides eating. Listen to music. Go for a walk. Watch tv or do something proactive besides eating. I use to be the same way then I stopped eating then I end up eating lots then make myself throw it up. It's better to try different things that helps you stop eating so much and not go to that food comfort.
I hope I was able to help you guys out some. Stay strong and keep fighting

I could use help with this myself.
