As we all are here, I am trying to shed a few unwanted pounds....
Because I live alone my thoughts often wonder... Toward food
Here a few things I do to get my mind off snacking and eventually over indulging....
1- Stay away from the oversized hoodies and sweat pants. Not only do they give an awfull posture, they keep me from seeing what I do not want to see... Whitch is not a good idea... Plus, feeling frumpy is depressing....
2-On days off, even if I do not plan to go anywhere, always take a shower, do my hair an put some make up on. Loosing weight is all about creating a positive image of myself so I want to make sure that if I see myself in a mirror, I look clean, fresh and good.
3-Never buy the food that I know I love to much..That way if it isnt there, I wont be tempted to over indulge...And I also keep a botle of windex at hand when I had enough of a "naughty treat".. That way I spray what I do not want to eat later on ... Ok, it's called waisting perfectly good food, but long term I will condition myself to say I've had enough.
4-Music is my best escape.... When I feel on edge I just put on my headphones and listen to my favorite cd.. It takes me away, and most importantly my mind off eating.
5-Aromatherapy, it really works! Light up a few scented candles, spray the room with an ambiance smell...
6-Keeping a water bottle at hand.... And sugar free gum, but not to often .. It just teases to chew gum
7-Go for a walk, call a friend.....
8-Take a shower, a bath... Pamper myself... Manucure, pedicure...
9-Looking at old pictures, scrapbooking, reading, writting, drawing.
10-And most important tip of all, come here and get inspired!
Good luck to all of you and remember to love youself, even when its hard.... No one can do it but you!

Great tips!! I\'ll definitely have to try some of those!.

Yep! Cheese is off my shopping list for the forseable future. Little crunchy buns and bread also. I just buy the regular toast bread because I can stop before it\'s too much. I also discovered eating pasta increases my apetite. I will not eat to much of it, but an hour later, I will be hungry like a wolf, craving sweets. Same goes for bananas - they make me hungry later on..

Those are some great tips thanks
