Rebgirl: Thanks for the lol!!

My 1st thot was the "s" word, but laughed when I finally saw it!

since I am single, I sip on a sports drink and some are almost calorie free now! It takes care of the thirst, leaves the sweet/sour taste and seems to do the trick. Then go exercise, as above, or go to sleep, like me!

I may eat a bowl of nutritional cereal or the remaining portion of my meal. I intentionally set aside half my dinner for the occasion or half lunch: I stick it aside and finish it for the 'munchies' so I do not eat extra. By getting protein it helps you maintain energy, so I try to just eat meal type of foods in usual portions. And you spend your entire life on a diet! Plus, I just don't keep junk in the house and I won't go buy anything when I've been medicated, well enough for munchies!

A few years ago I decided to choose the highest calorie items in my diet and take them out, one each year! I first started with coke--my biggest weakness (since they mess with the formula, it didn't taste so good anymore anyway), lost 50 pounds that year! Next year candy bars (since that was not a weakness 4 me, it didn't have as much of an impact). I choose one thing a year and am leaning on not so much milk for next year and starting it out now.


Move to the country, like me, no delivery service of any kind!!! Well, maybe bud, but that's it! The fast food places are starting to move into the town, 10 miles away--KFC/Taco Bell; Foster/wienerschntzl: and a few others. I have not been to any of them yet. Went thru Big M's took one bite and it is in a bag for the trash!

Suck on calorie free candy, they have some good stuff on the market. You know you arent' hungry so tackle it beforehand, as per all above suggestions!

Best option: Indulge, plan it and eat less during the day. Pick something that you love more than anything: Like a good fruity sorbet and go for it! Not every night though. Get creative! Good Luck, if you can make a hybrid that cures it--you would be a rich person!! pr:jointsmile:
