    The best way I've found to portion out a tempting food without eating it all;

    1. Put peppermint chewing gum in your mouth. This will help prevent you from eating as you're portioning.
    2. Portion out ALL the food at once. Get lots of little containers.
    3. Divide the food into the little containers.
    4. Put them all away in a place that requires extra work to get to. For me the sweets are now all downstairs so i have to go downstairs, find the stepstool, and reach into the topmost, furthest back cabinet. The bread is sliced and put in the freezer so that i have to toast it before i can eat it.
    5. When you go to grab some, it'll be much easier to stop at one portion if they're already portioned out beforehand.

    Also, with a sudden change in cravings, I'd wonder about my micronutrient status. You might want to get blood work to be sure you are getting all your micronutrients.

    This sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure how I would do that with peanut butter. Any ideas? Or should I just hide it haha
