I've been overeating lately, and my breasts and buttocks have gotten much bigger. Do you have any suggestions on how to stop eating so much?

Stop eating seed oils and sugar.
I can’t cut sugar! I have addiction
Then you will get fatter and die.
Addictions can be treated. It's difficult but possible
How
With willpower, learn and understand why sugars can be bad for you and how to avoid it in your food. Cut it slowly and start enjoying new foods.
I recommend to read or listen this book, it's a good start 
I eat good food just I can’t cut sugar
Sure you can, you simply have a mindset that refuses to believe that.
Try replacing sugary foods with natural sugars first, like fruits. When you crave unnatural processed sugary foods, eat the fruit instead.
But first you have to change your mental model that says “I can’t cut sugar” as that is a defeatist mentality to start from.
I just can’t understand people who don’t eat chocolate! Sorry
I’m allergic… but you can buy chocolate fruits and make your own! I have family members that prefer their own.
True, everything you cook at home are many times more delicious than the things you buy in the store.
Moderation is important! And the type of chocolate, I’m not suggesting that you can’t eat chocolate, but rather that the mindset of saying you can’t live without eating chocolate is detrimental to your overall health!
All this good advice, but as soon as I lay down in bed, the first thing I thought about was what I will eat tomorrow!
Humans eat fruits for thousands of years. It is so unhealthy that idiots can post messages on nostr about how unhealthy fruits are.
You'd be surprised how quickly your taste/conditioning for it fades if you just cut it out. And you1000% CAN cut sugar. The only reason you "cant" is because you say and believe that you can't, but literally anyone can. I bet you've done vastly more difficult things in life. If you legit want to be healthy and cut sugar there's literally nothing at all stopping you. It's just a choice.
If you don't want to then that's fine too. But don't gaslight yourself and say you "can't," because you can. Just choose to do so, or don't. Then accept whatever that decision is.
(I probably brought way too much seriousness to this simple and lighthearted post 😆, but I think it's an important issue and all of us lie to ourselves a lot and we dismiss how powerful it is to be genuinely honest with ourselves, and just accept that we are in control and be ok with whatever our decisions are rather than hiding behind "I can't" -- there's a lot of power in that, imo)
And dont make the mistake I made in thinking that coke zero is "safe". Actually its incredibly sweet and gives you just as bad cravings.
Splenda is SIX HUNDRED times sweeter than sugar per volume… it’s insane
Everything you eat is turned into sugar. You just have to stop bombarding your system with a high quantity of refined sugar to stop the insulin spiking and crashing.
Technically not true. If you go into ketosis, you end up burning ketones instead. It's hard, but possible.
Unused Sugar is turned into fat which is broken down by the liver into ketones. So you don’t get ketones without sugar
I'll defer to you, as I don't really know, but if one were only eating fat and protein, so taking in almost no carbs to be broken down into sugar, wouldn't you be skipping the sugar step?
Protein is still being broken down into sugar, but it takes much longer than carbohydrates, so you feel fuller longer and it is not as taxing on the body. That’s why you cannot overeat on a protein diet.
Positive energy only! Yoga boy
I’m with you Guy. I’ve given the same speech to friends and family who ask me how I stopped eating bread, sugar, chocolate etc
Same with quitting smoking weed. Just stop doing it. There is no secret beyond that. Be in control.
It’s a serious issue. Nothing is more liberating than feeling amazing and seeing a piece of cheesecake and not even wanting it. Getting your body to a point of disgust at such things is emboldening.

Maroon yourself on a small island
With a sugar daddy!
You'll probably kill him then discover he doesn't actually contain sugar...
I will kill him anyway, for any reason. This how love works
Living up to your namesake, I see.
😒 what is wrong about my name?
Nothing at all, Eris is a Greek goddess of discord and strife. She started the Trojan war.
She's also the patron of Discordianism, which is often termed either a joke disguised as a religion, or the other way around. Nobody's really sure. I'm not really a Discordian anymore, but I have a lot of fondness for her.
Why you are not a Discordian anymore?
I don't really know. I just broadened the deities I worked with, got a little more serious in all areas of my life, and drifted away.
The only way not to be a Discordian anymore is to stop eating a hot dog every Friday.
Why would anyone do that though?
Sorry, I'm trying to stay away from processed meats.
😂
So do I.
As long as the sausages contain pork and beef at rhe same time they are according to the rules.
Homemade or from a good butcher you can have sausages from meat rhat is hardly processed.
OK, I think I'll add that to my catmas. This whole conversation caused me to pull down my copy of the Principia Discordia from the shelf and re-read my favorite passage:
A SERMON ON ETHICS AND LOVE
One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?
"O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!"
WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.
"I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
"But nobody Wants it! Everybody hates it."
OH. WELL, THEN STOP.
At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species.

This is interesting! It would be great if everyone could just give up. The ego continues to exist.
Give up? I read it exactly the opposite. Take control. Maybe I'm mixing my stoicism with my Erisian Mysterees, but it's saying to give up on what you don't control, and take control of what you do. Which pretty much consists on what takes place between your ears, the echoing void of your own little pocket dimension.
This fragment tries to show that sometimes the answers to life's problems are simpler than we think, and the help we seek might actually be a matter of awareness and simple action. For me it's a form of giving up
Can you explain that more? To me, giving up would just be keeping doing what you've always done, while making a change, even in mindset is taking action.
It is simply a higher form of manifestation that cannot be understood by everyone because where there is no ego, there is a transformation of matter. We can strive and perform miracles, but this would never compare to the creation of self-denial. Where you deny yourself, there is no ego, and where there is no ego, miracles happen.
Ah, so are you using "giving up" as letting go of the ego? I don't like the term "self-denial", but I think I get what you're getting at.
The thing is, I don't think we give up the ego once and for all, but only in moments, much like non-thinking during (eastern) meditation.
The thing I don't know is if you are using this as an excuse for not making steps today to improve your life today. If so, stop. 😁
BTW, does your name come from Discordia, or just coincidence?
I think the same as you, that we let go the ego at the certain moments. During all the times, most of us either resist or pretend to be humble or without ego. Human wickedness is an unavoidable part of life, so for me, self-denial is the most accurate term. When you denial yourself, you also give up wickedness.
Hum. So to you self-denial means giving up the ego? Or is it simpler than that, just realizing that you aren't the center of the universe? That is a form of exercise that makes giving up the ego easier, so it's something I try to do.
Nice one. Thanks!
1st - Bigger breasts and buttocks are a problem?
2nd - Drink more water, will make you feel more full; Get the snacks and junk out the house, so you can't eat it; Front-load your day with eggs, bacon, etc, you'll get plenty of carbs throughout the day without trying; Try doing 16 hour fasts a few times per week, start at 6PM after dinner, this will eliminate mindless nighttime snacking;
It’s genetic that fat accumulates in certain places. I can’t handle any more tits growth. I can’t sleep at night!
Butter Bob Briggs says "butter". The reactionaries will mock him and do "eating sticks of butter" videos, but they miss the point. When I get those carbo cravings, I take one bite of a salted grass-fed butter stick. It's enough to knock the edge off of the sugar attack and replace it with satisfying saturated fats which of course is counter to conventional health "wisdom". The point is to delay the ?grelin? response that your body has acclimated to for those quick carb hits and even out that blood sugar roller coaster. Of course Mountain Dew is killing me slowly, so I'm no saint, but saturated fats is the way for me to kill carb cravings. Of course everyone is different in different and same ways... The point is to try something different yet resonable.
