It can be really difficult to keep my mind off of food. So I try to use the whole 'out of sight out of mind' thing. I'll turn so my back is to the food and distract myself with music or work. Chewing gum also helps, as does drinking a whole lot of water. Occasionally I really am hungry when I'm being tempted, but instead of indulging in something 'naughty' I'll crunch on some Kashi crackers or a piece of fruit.
In a perfect world we wouldn't be tempted at all!
Congrats on your loss so far!!!
