How do you get your mind off food that you crave?

Like right now I’m craving cereal (like always) and I just ate quiche and I’m not hungry but I’m super tempted to get a mug full of cereal. (I don’t like eating out of bowls)

It's harder in the winter if you can't go outside where you live.

I try to watch my weight so here's what I do when I really have a taste for something.

I'll take a small bowl (or mug in your case) & fill it only 1/4 to 1/2 full. I eat only 1 at a time.

Chewing that many that long makes it seem like I ate more / longer & gives me the taste that I was craving.

:D I'll try that because I get to have a bit of food without going overboard. Ya it sucks when it's all snowy and icy because I can't walk or run outside

I just took a shower and haven't eaten anything yet, but when I looked at my nasty cellulite in the mirror I was pretty pissed. So you could try that lol. I'm going to go back to eating smaller portions now. When I get over this stupid cold I'm hitting the gym like 4x a week from now on...

I try to look at what I like about my self apposed to the negatives, I did that a few years ago and it made me very self conscious...thanks anyways :)

Lol, I know. I wasn't implying that you focus on every single flaw. It just caught my eye.

ya I guess...maybe I'll just head to the gym to get my mind off food:)
