I am a person who eats when she's bored, so I want to come up with a list of things to do when I get the munchies. I thought I'd come hear for help!

Next time I get the munchies I will....

eat carrots or celery sticks instead of crackers or whatever off-plan food I'm craving

chew a piece of gum

brush my teeth and put my retainers in (that way I CAN'T eat)

write in my blog

crochet

go to the gym

call a friend

visit this website!



Any other ideas?

polish your fingernails so you can't grab food to eat, or you'll ruin your manicure! If the hunger is still there, paint your toes too, till the craving passes.

I chew gum.

play with a pet, start a conversation

drink some water
refill my water glass
make some tea

oooh good idea
I get the munchies like ...A LOT
lol I should come up with a list of things to do as a substitute.
Your stuff is really good so far.

Here's some

1) read a book
2) write something
3) talk to myself. (I have conversations in the mirror with myself, telling inner me will I really be happy after a binge? and don't I want my future to rock?)
4) get the laptop OUT of the kitchen. Yeah, that could help a lot. lol
5) go sit outside on the front steps, enjoy the sky OR take a walk, same deal sort of

it's all I got right now. I'm really going to listen to this list! if I could make this list, I sure as **** could stick to it and take a detour from food.

Very timely... considering I had a mini binge on Doritos with sour cream today. I somehow justified it by it being fat free sour cream.

So... I think the next time I'll think about how bad I felt after eating the Doritos.
