When the bad eating urge hits!

19*, feels like 0*, 56% humidity, WSW 37 mph wind, light snow, WIND ADVISORY

3 Eating Strategies:

1. Drink a glass of water and decide if I am really hungry. If not really hungry (If I just had a meal) then find another outlet for distraction-an activity or exercise, like a walk, for a half hour. If bored, like at home alone, at work alone, find something to do like exercise, chores, or a journal writing session.
2. If after the water and distraction I am still feeling the need to nosh, I shall reach for something healthy. Veggies, a piece of fruit, a cup of soup broth.
3. If I am in a situation where I cannot escape and distract or grab a healthy snack, than take no more then 2 bites of junk just so that I can have the taste and not go too overboard with plenty of water or tea.
