[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 239337, member: 3388"] AOG, You're "talking" to an old pro - EMOTIONAL EATING has ALWAYS been a major problem for me!!! I love Marg's tip about sticking a "fat photo" or a "thin photo" on the fridge door!!! Another thing you can do, sort of along this same line of thinking, is to take a favorite piece of clothing that no longer fits, keep it in plain sight, and try it on weekly. (I like to use a swimsuit.) Another thing that helps me is to brush and floss my teeth whenever I know I'm about to raid the kitchen. Another member gave me this tip awhile ago and it really works!!! If you brush and floss, the craving to "pig out" won't be as strong. As others have said, you need to substitute another drink for the Coke. And, as also already said, you need to find healthy snack choices that you enjoy. I've found that eating an apple before giving into a craving helps. Many times, after finishing the apple, I won't want anything else. And, if I do, I'm able to eat less of whatever it was I was craving. Get rid of all the junk food in your house that you know you can't stay away from. in my humble opinion, there really is no such thing as willpower. If willpower worked, we all would be at our "healthiest weights" and remain at our "healthiest weights" forever. Just giving up the Cokes alone, will make a big difference over the course of a year. I think I read it takes about six weeks to kick a bad habit. Hang in there!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!! And, post here often. It definitely helps. Post here even if it's only to let us know you stayed away from the Coke for 24 hours. This is an accomplishment!!! Thinking of you... WFEN [/QUOTE]
