i used to find looking at recipe books would take my mind off eating!
my LLC said it was my 'food porn!'
it would make me think about food but kill my appetite
might be worth trying - tho it could have the opposite effect i suppose....don't blame me if it does, lol!
the other thing which kept me focussed was repeating the mantra 'its only food, it's only food'! and thinking that whatever i was craving would actually still be there in 6 months time!
good luck!
