  1. Sometimes a coping mechanism to stress and trauma is eating. What is probably happening is that you are stressed and traumatized from your car accident and to compensate for it, you are eating more. It's sort of like you are comforting yourself with food, and keeping yourself busy by eating. Sometimes in cases like this, your body doesn't recognise the normal signals of being "full" and you don't know when to stop. This is something you need to talk to your Doctor about. There isn't per say anything you can do to make it stop unless you just force yourself. I think you probably eat when you are not hungry and that will cause weight gain. Good luck recovering from your accident. Please check with your Doc about this!
  2. Here is my blog. http://extraincomesolutions.blogspot.com There's this tea that is a cleanse. It will help you curb that appetite. Drink it three times a day. Although it says drink 8 ozs each time, I just fill my regular glasses to the rim. I know that's more than 8 oz. You brew it according to the directions then either add cold spring water and sweeten to your liking. Or add the brew to your favorite juice to make a gallon. http://iasotea.com/pure or http://tryiaso.com/pure One time sample is $7.95 and regular order is $39.95 plus S & H
