• First of all, recognize your what triggers you to eat.
  First you need to do, is to find out what makes you want to eat. It can be from different reasons. Keeping a food journal for finding out why you’re eating when you emotions tell you to, can be a great idea finding out what it is. When you have found out why it is that you go start eating, move to the next step.
• Identify hunger signals.
  This is a very important step. Identifying your hunger signals is important. it is much better so eat when you are hungry rather when you are “suppose” to eat. With that i mean like at lunch hour at work, if you are not hungry, don’t eat! It is very important to separate your hungry feeling from your “feel like” feeling.
• Limit cravings food.
  Stop packing your fridge with your favorit snacks (Except if they are healthy and good for you). Limit your cravings food. And do not, i repeat DO NOT shop for food when being hungry. You only end up buying more then you need.
• Don’t skip meals.
  Skipping meals almost certain will make you gain weight, cause you will get so hungry and eat very large meals when you do eat.
• Alternatives.
  Find alternatives to eating when feeling the cravings for something. Try to do some other activity, sole a puzzle, take a hot bath, read a book, why not WRITE a book? What ever you feel like, as long as it gets your mind off food.

  And you, do not give up! If you fall down and eat up on chocolate or what ever, it is not over because of it. Forgive yourself and get up next day, just keep trying and you WILL succeed.
