You may be interested to check out my blog "30 days RAW" - I'm not doing 100% RAW anymore but still have a plant-based diet. Yes, even on 100% RAW, I overate and it was a consistently difficult thing for me to deal with. I've read that stuff about not being able to overeat but I agree completely with you - if I'm not hungry and eating, even if I don't eat myself sick, it's still overeating! That lack of moderation is why I'm not SUPER-SEXY-HOT and am only pretty-sexy! ;-) Seriously, going completely RAW helped me shift my focus. It's obvious I can be disciplined enough to change my eating habits around completely but regardless the snack-all-through-the-afternoon habit stuck anyway, so now I am focused on that. I'm a little more liberal with eating but I concentrate now on not eating between meals. This is my #2 diet priority; #1 is maintaining a plant-based diet.

I hope this helps. Other people must not go through it once the physical cravings stop, and I envy that but for me the mental preoccupation remains, and it may be partly due to my husband being gone (Navy) or really just plain habit. Take care, and it's all a journey. As long as we're making progress, (even if it's slow), we're doing wonderful things for our health! :-)
