Hi, I have a habit of mindless eating. I was suffering from anxiety but now it is in control. But I get urge to put something in my mouth even when I am not hungry. Although I do not eat junk food at all. I have kept nuts, fruits rarely biscuits when I get the strong urge. I spend my free time reading. I do moderate exercise. I meditate regularly. How do I get rid of urge of eating even when I am not hungry.
