    Question Distractions from hunger?

    What do you do to stop yourself thinking about food? I read, play on the computer and come on this site. I NEVER use housework as a distraction unfortunately.

    I find I don't need to be distracted from food because I'm on SW and you can eat lots of food in unlimited quantities. So if I'm hungry, I snack on fruit or low fat yogurt.

    However, I also work 40-48 hours per week so often don't have time to worry about being hungry anyway!

    Apparantly taking up knitting (or crochet) is very fashionable for slimmers who need a distraction from hunger. Maybe Maybe whilst listening to motivational slimming cd's on your ipod? Its very hard though to stop yourself whilst in the act of self-sabotage! Its amazing how my mind convinces me that I can start again tomorrow, trouble is tomorrow never comes!

    Hi fellow Scot!

    Distraction?..where do I start! ....personally, I do or have done the following....

    Having a bubble bath/pampering session
    Watching diet programmes
    Reading diet magazines
    Logging on here
    The dreaded housework
    Clear out wardrobes/drawers
    Go out walking
    Phone a friend
    Home decorating
    Exercise bike
    Drink iced water
    Clean my teeth
    Sort out and bag up large clothes for charity..(if you haven't got them, you won't be tempted to keep wearing them!)
    Pedicure/manicure
    Make a list of why you want to lose the weight and read it when hunger pangs strike
    Window or online shopping for those outfits you want to wear eventually
    An early night!


    If the pangs are unbearable, nibble some fruit, or a low cal bowl of cereal, glasses of water, then get busy with something on the above list! ha ha

    Good luck x
    RainbowRose x


    DATE 21ST FEB 2011....Start weight 21st 5lb

    Nice long list there! I have to admit I have changed the habit of a lifetime and started doing a wee bit of clearing out. I also am addicted to weight loss TV programmes.

    Cross stitch!

    lovequiltsuk (UK)
    lovequilts (USA)
    quilts4kids (AUS)
    WorldOfCharityStitching (USA)

    All need squares and you might be tempted less because you have to wash your hands again.
    I knit too but lately have been cross stitching more.

    I agree with an early night too! It's hard to say no to people just to get to bed early but I'm getting better at it.

    Diet: Paul McKenna Hypnotic Gastric Band
    Height: 5ft8in
    Start Date: 31st January 2012
    Before I started the hypnotic gastric band I never really knew what hunger felt like.. But on this new way of eating (refusing to call it the 'd' word)..lol..I find that I am full from the moment I have my 1 slice of toast in the morning, until about 5pm, when it is normally time for me to cook an evening meal... But I do take my pugs for walks whenever I feel the urge to snack, but its purely eating from bordem, rather than hunger.. x
    ..Every Journey Starts With a First Step..

    Week 1 loss..11lb Week 2 loss.. 9lb
    Week 3 loss..10lb Week 4 loss..12lb
    Week 5 loss..7.5lbWeek 6 loss..6.5lb
    Week 7 loss.4.5lb Week 8 loss..3.5lb
    Week 9 loss... 7lbWeek 10 loss..1.5lb
    Week 11 loss.. 2.5lbWeek 12 loss..3lb

    I paint my nails - you can't eat while they are drying or they will smuge which my pet hate. By the time you've done a couple of coats in front of the tv or with music in the background the craving has dulled somewhat.

    If I have a craving I imagine it's actually a craving gremlin jumping up and down in my head shouting like a spoilt toddler who isn't getting his way. That way I can laugh at him and ignore him. If it's hunger pangs I try and drink water as I'm usually thirsty not hungry. And if it's emotional I just try and get out the house. Like today I was feeling really stressed so decided to go for a drive and sort some stuff out for the weekend (didn't actually work out but that's life).

    Thank's. I got the idea off someone else on the S&S section who said they have a gremlin picture in their purse and on their fridge as he was the food gremlin. I adapted it for myself and hence the craving gremlin was born.
