[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 204033, member: 1991"] Substitution is a really good idea. I use activity. Another trick - I drink at least 500 ml of water before I let myself eat anything. If I can't face plain water, I add something to it (usually instant coffee, a splash of milk, some ice and a couple of artificial sweeteners) as long as what I add doesn't also add calories. Often my mouth is watering at food because I'm more thirsty than hungry. Especially for strawberries! Exercise - I began well but had to stop because of what turned out to be a torn muscle. I'm not using the Wii Fit as much as I'd like, but it has helped a lot when I can't do much else. I'm hoping to do more when I have the time. It's the best I can do. I can't even do much upper body stuff because my arms, especially my right arm, are in a lot of pain from something neurological. Something that has helped me with food obsessions - I transferred it to gardening, growing my own food (especially herbs). When I can, I harvest herbs and let them air-dry in bunches. When they're dry, I crumble them into a jar. When the jar is full, I use a specially bought cheap coffee grinder to grind the herbs down and then I package them in a jar - they always taste better than anything I could have bought. I make up my own mixed herbs and use them in cooking when it's winter and the garden is not producing. Other distractions - knitting, Sudoku, anything crafty. I hope your tendonitis clears up for you - it hurts! Marg [/QUOTE]
