Whats the underlying reason you eat? Are you hungry? Tired? Sleepy?

This article from RealAge.com , How to Fight Cravings gives some good tips on new to tell the difference.

“Fleming recommends one of the classic strategies: carrying a food journal and writing down everything you eat and why you eat it. You’ll start to notice the times you’re eating when you’re not really hungry. Once you’ve identified your emotional triggers, find alternative activities to eating. If anger sets off cravings, hit a punching bag instead. If boredom brings on hunger pangs, get busy — call a friend or clean a closet. And if stress spurs a hankering for sweets, go for a short walk and get in shape.”
