Memorize this list of things to do when you get the urge to do some illegal snacking .
1. Keep your hands busy. Can’t eat if your using your hands are busy doing something else.
2. Stay out of the kitchen!
3. When you feel the urge to snack, go outside, walk around your house, lift hand weights, anything to move your body. Exercise suppresses your appetite.
4. Don’t watch commercials. Another good reason, right? Exercise instead. Or do a small chore.
5. Chew sugar-free gum or mint.
6. Drink water.
7. Plan your menus everyday to include a healthy snack and then reward yourself everyday for sticking to the menu. (Rewards can be whatever you find enjoyable that doesn’t involve food.)
Ooooh, this is a biggie for me when it’s that time of the month. I think I’ll go have a glass of water, now.
