How can I control my eating when I have impulse control issues?

You could find other alternatives to eating even though it may seem difficult at first. Any sort of distraction should help really; something you can get lost in. Perhaps a sport, or a club or something such as drawing :)

Impulse control and willpower are a muscle that needs to be exercised and strengthened over time- which sucks. BUT, when I am having a weak moment, I find it helpful to tell myself, "Okay, I will wait 15 minutes and if I still REALLY REALLY want *insert food item here*, then I will have a little." 90% of the time, I completely forget I wanted it in the first place. Otherwise, that annoying slogan, "moderation is key" is actually really helpful and applicable. You have to think your food choices through, which can be super annoying, until it becomes natural.

Channel your impulse to something else, like hobbies and other stuff you enjoy doing. The more time you make yourself busy, the more youll forget about eating.

Keeping a food journal is a great way to control your eating habits! You can write your food logs down, or download an app to help you (for example, Lifesum is free and is very easy to use). Alternatively, you can distract yourself with activities or hobbies that you enjoy. It's a great way to get your mind off of unnecessary eating. Finally, another great way to help is to delay. Set a time for giving into your urge. Usually during that time, you will forget about it. I hope this helps!

Never be too hard on yourself, and have faith in your ability to change and become the person who you want to be. You are in control of your life, but making changes still takes time and you need to be gentle with yourself during the process.

Don't take food out of the kitchen. If you have food with you while you're watching TV or distracted in any way, it's easy to absent mindedly snack. If you're in the kitchen, there's less to do, and it's a much more conscious, deliberate action that's easier to control.

Wow a doctor that always helps or maybe even talk to your parents about it , Goodluck :))))))))))))))

Distraction can be a huge help when you're having trouble controlling impulses. Whether it's something creative like drawing or writing or playing an instrument, or if you're doing something like watching a movie or doing chores. :) Hope this helps!

Eating can be pretty difficult. You're not alone, everyone feels that way sometimes. But come on! Keep focusing on your goals and nothing else!You' re gonna make it! Sometimes maybe you can have a cheating meal, but definitely not a cheating day! And you can always talk to me how you feel, I'm here for you. :)

Find another activity to distract yourself in, go outside to exercise, meet some friends, paint your nails, listen to energising music, take a nap, and remind yourself that your health is determined by every single thing you do, every little decision you take is what conforms your health.
