Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 For those times you feel like eating, yet you know you're not really hungry, try these tips: From Prevention Magazine (Sep 2010) HOW TO STOP A CRAVING RIGHT NOW!! Basically, distract yourself by completing the following checklist: _NAME 5 things you see in front of you. _IDENTIFY 4 colors you see. _DESCRIBE 3 things your body is feeling (such as temperature or a texture, like your shirt fabric). _IDENTIFY 2 sounds. _STATE 1 thing that you can smell. Why It Works: "Focusing on your senses quiets the chatter in your mind so you can tune in to your body's signals better -- and decide whether you're really hungry." - psychologist Albers, PsyD, author of 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
