Getting through hardest times withou overeating?
 

So, how do you guys make it through your hard times of any day without overeating? What tricks?

Lately, gum. And eating often enough that I do not get overly hungry. And water. And distraction. And eating enough fiber, protein, etc., through the day.

Greensfirst and some psyllium husk (or Metamucil) in 8-10 oz. water mid-afternoon totally fills me up. Then I can make it to dinner time without a problem.

Walk , walk, walk!!!Clears my head too!!!

I don't eat a lot from noon to 6:00 p.m. because I go to bed so late. I save at least ten points for after six. This way I don't go over because of my late night eating. If I feel a binge craving coming on, I will usually slice up a grapefruit, sprinkle a little sugar on it, and that almost always takes away my craving. I also love hot chocolate, and add a few marshmallows. It feels like a real treat. Today I really wanted pizza and hadn't had it in about three weeks. I have been such a good girl. So I saved 16 points today for my vegi pizza dinner.

Oh, yeah, and sugar free popsicles. I love those. I go through a box a week, but at 15 calories a pop, I think I am fine.

I eat often so I don't get too hungry and also I've seen the hunger and if I use food for coping with feelings all over the day depends a lot on what I eat for breakfast. A big breakfast, no emotional eating.

i think we overeat because we put too much food on our plate :)
i try to put smaller portions and enjoy it. When its gone its gone . No overeating if control your portons :)

I stay away from the kitchen!!!

When I'm going through a rough time, like now, I have been doing Pilates and walking. I take it out on the gym and lately the basketball court. To be honest, sometimes I just don't want to talk to anyone about it, I just want to move through it and get to the other side of "rough time."

exercise
gum
planning snacks (and keeping them with me!)

I pray. I ask God to help me help myself. If I don't ask for help, it doesn't magically come. But when I do, I always somehow find the strength to move on to a different (more productive) activity.

that is a VERY good idea! i should start doiing it too!
