What do you do... (dieting tips)

[Miranda]

...to keep from over-eating?


Yes, I know there are some of us that just have incredible will power. But, others of us need a wee bit of help.

For me I've concluded (as I was home mindless eating junk on the see-food-diet, aka see food = eat)... it's getting out of the house.

A good ole mall shopping trip yesterday helped the diet plan beautifully...
A) I wasn't home to eat eat eat,
B) something about a lot of nekkidness in store dressing room lights has a way of kickin up your motivation.

The other day I survived my ice cream withdrawl cravings by using my GFs xmas gift... a new journal. When I re-read the entry, it sounded like "diary of a mad-man" (or one crazy woman dieing for Moose Tracks). But, it worked.

Next, I think I might re-visit crocheting. It kept my hands busy at home, vs using them to stuff un-needed food in my mouth.

So, what's your trick or tip?
