To beat Cravings!!!!๐คผโโ๏ธ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐๐

The 5 Ds are......
โ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ
Postpone eating for 10-15 minutes when you feel an urge.
Youโre not saying โnoโ โ just stopping to think๐ before you eat. Youโre not ignoring the thought but dealing with it. While youโre delaying your decision, the next D makes it easierโฆ

Cravings pass more quickly when you are involved in a distracting activity for a few minutes.
Try a non-food activity to give you something to do (so you donโt watch the clock for 10 minutes!)๐ค๐ชโฐ. Often the wave of desire to eat disappears in a few minutes when you keep your hands busy without foodโก
โ ๏ธClean out a drawer, call a friend, brush your teeth, surf the web, or even learn to knit!

De-stress exercise such as deep breathing will help you remain calm when cravings hit, keeping you from making rash decisions๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
โ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐
Itโs important to keep your eating environment at armโs length โ maintaining a distance. Keep food out of sight, not on counters๐
โout of sight๐, out of mind๐ง โ can help
Stay out of the kitchen when a craving strikes. And use the kitchen only for food preparation and meal consumption. Avoid it as a place to hang out๐

After waiting 10-15 minutes, determine whether you are physically hungry or just thirsty; these two are often confused.
Also consider whether you might have emotional/boredom hunger๐คฏ, And avoid getting over-hungry, a main consequence of meal skipping๐๐ก๐
