Danger times

[desperate2lose]

Hiya all

I just wanted advice on how to avoid eating at danger times. My worst times are:

After work, when i am at home in the evenings
Weekends where i dont do much but rest and get ready for work on Monday.

I tried going to gym during those times, but after i come back from it, i am starved and head for the fridge.

What can i do?

My danger time is the evening. When I was on Cambridge I used to have 1/2 a bar for dinner and save the other half for the evening.

Then when the time came, I'd make a huge cup of coffee, get everything in place and really enjoy it.

To be honest, I reckon it was that evening 1/2 bar that kept me going most of the time. I used to so look forward to it. Days work done, time to relax etc.

My danger time is evenings and weekends too. I save a pack for evening time and either have crisps or a mousse which helps.

I also have a savory drink at times when I want to binge because it does take away that feeling of needing something sweet.

Tonight I really wanted to eat some chicken leftovers so I came to bed. I am determined no more nibbling now.

Another good tip is to have a mug of hotwater with some water flavourings in.

My danger times is the weekend, find it tough going as the routine is all over the place...

Evenings sometimes and reacting to emotions...

Hiya all

Last night i conquered the danger times. I felt hungry and had the urge to eat. So i took Karion's advice and got huge cup of coffee and the chocolate bar which i really love. AFterwards i didnt even think about food at all.

I have also decided to go to the gym (hopefully this will increase my losses...is this right or is it just wishful thinking? )

I wont do anything strenuous but walking on the threadmill and doing some weights in order to get my muscles going.

I really love the support i get from this site. Whenever i feel like binging, I log on and read all your funny stories and your struggles and not to mention your success. You cant really imagine how i benefit from this site.

Cheers to the admins.

This is probably going to sound very pig-headed but I don't really get danger times anymore except during TOTM.. but I've found a cure for that now.. tea & some water flavouring, does the trick
