We can't just swear off food, or go cold turkey... we do that, we die. There is no way around it.<BR/><BR/>I try to mute the TV when commercials come on, so that hopefully we'll avoid food and restaurant advertisements. I don't get magazines any more. But, unfortunately, Hubby loves to eat out. That makes it hard for me. That's why I'm changing my life (diet) one week one habit at a time.<BR/><BR/>Please check out my blog: www.veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com - I could use the support!

For me, I think calorie counting and such is putting one's self in food prison. Food is something to be enjoyed in addition to providing nutrients - that's why we have taste buds! However, I found what has been working for me is portion control instead of moderation. Teaching myself what a serving size is *supposed* to be and sticking to it no matter what has definitely shown results. Also, looking into low/no calorie snack options like celery and pickles to get me over hunger pangs. It is really tough, but it has definitely been easier (and guilt free) to ENJOY food again because I know I had the correct portion of it.LDHLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818521468235950135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-69690540710555426412009-01-12T16:03:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:03:00.000-05:00cookies are my crack!

I agree completely. <BR/><BR/>The only way I've found to "cure" myself of the addiction (though like any addiction, there's no real cure, there are just different ways of managing it) is to radically overhaul the way I look at food. <BR/><BR/>Instead of obsessing over what I SHOULDN'T be eating, I try to focus on what I NEED to eat in order to stay healthy. In other words, lots of vegetables and whole grains. I don't control my portions or count calories or anything -- I just make sure that 50% of my food at each meal is vegetables, 25% is protein, and 25% is complex carbs. Whenever I eat food in these proportions, I end up feeling full and satisfied and have better energy, too. <BR/><BR/>I actually just wrote a post about that on my own blog. If you're interested, you can check it out here: <BR/><BR/>http://blobarella.blogspot.com/2009/01/hunger.html<BR/><BR/>... It's when I cave and start munching on chocolate or potato chips that things start getting nasty. Doh! Stupid refined carbs! They're so good on the tongue, but man, they always leave me feeling bloated and crappy afterwards.Erin Whalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184785137638190721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-23889557616703838962009-01-08T20:34:00.000-05:002009-01-08T20:34:00.000-05:00This is so true; it gets me thinking, and searchin...This is so true; it gets me thinking, and searching for some sort of help for those of us who must deal with our drug ALL DAY long. Perhaps here are some tips?? 1. Never watch commericals. Those crack, he, hem, pizza commercials will get you.<BR/>2. Never flip through magazines like Southern Living, Cooking, Bon Apetit, etc. The pictures of the foods and recipes will getcha.<BR/>3. Never stock your pantry or fridge with ANYTHING other than foods that you KNOW you will not binge on. Like: most non-starchy veggies, low-fat meats, ......I'm left looking for more, but can't think of any :)<BR/>4. Never go out to eat.<BR/>5. Don't leave your home. You might drive by a fast-crack location.<BR/>6. Never go to a friends' house. They might have OREOS!!!!!! And, you might just eat every last one, and then inhale the crumbs that are left, just for good measure.<BR/><BR/>That should just about cover it.

In the early 1990's I went through hypnosis aversion therapy for this one item, and I have not had any chocolate since then, almost 15 years ago. I wish I could say hypnosis worked as well for general food issues, but it didn't for me...it seems to work better with one specific food item. I still have a lot of food issues, but at least I feel somewhat more stable in my overall eating habits now that I don't eat chocolate...Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595663688605330722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050527020338611721.post-84793090757036548592009-01-04T23:47:00.000-05:002009-01-04T23:47:00.000-05:00Amen, sister!
