  • How to beat cravings

    I don’t crave foods when I don’t have them in my kitchen. However, as soon as I have the food that I shouldn’t eat in my house, I crave it and I HAVE to eat it. For example, if I get cookies or some other kind of dessert because I’m going to have guests over, once the food is in my kitchen, it’s all I want. When the guests leave, if there are leftovers, I gorge on them until they’re gone. Is there any way to stop myself from doing that? Even some way to make sure that I only eat a little bit at a time? I need to stop just pigging out.

    My best trick is to give myself one day to eat whatever I want and then give the rest away/throw it out. Then I can't have it anymore because it's not there.

      I guess to follow that same idea, you could buy the smallest possible package and then put it into small portion sized bags so that you only eat a reasonable amount at any given time. Put them into a cupboard on their own (or a box in a cupboard on their own) so that you won't always see them and be reminded that they're there. It'll add a bit of a layer of protection for you haha

        Hey you can Choose the best distraction. "What you're really craving is to feel better," says Linda Spangle, RN, a weight loss coach in Broomfield, CO, and author of 100 Days of Weight Loss. You've heard the trick about phoning a friend or exercising instead of eating. But "taking a solo walk won't help if you're feeling lonely," says Laurie Mintz, PhD, a professor of counseling psychology at the University of Missouri. Instead, identify your current emotion—bored, anxious, mad—by filling in these blanks: "I feel ____ because of ____." Then find an activity that releases it. If you're stressed, channeling nervous energy into a workout can help; if you're upset over a problem at the office, call a friend and ask for advice
