Water. Water and more water. I have an office job where I sit at my desk all day every day. I keep a pint glass on my desk and whenever it gets close to empty I fill it up. I never let it get empty. I do this when I get home too.
Makes me feels so full, I rarely snack! Other than fruit.
If water gets boring put fruit in the glass to give it some colour/ flavour. Raspberries, lemons, limes and cucumber work a treat!
Good Idea @Skeywood!! I sit allllll day too and I'd never thought of doing this! Thanks0 -

Green tea, water and gum. I enjoy a venti green tea from Starbucks (one bag and make sure to ask for a double cup or bring your own travel mug). I will add a Splenda packet to my tea if I'm craving sweets. Also, I can't live without a pack of gum nearby, especially the Trident fruit layers. Good luck!
I'm SO glad you said this!! I thought I was crazy! I pop a piece of gum myself when I find that I eat out of boredom! Thanks for posting!0 -

*I drink a lot of water to avoid snacking
*I keep a good amount of fresh, seasonal fruit in the house. When I'm in a rush out the door, I'll grab a couple apples instead of something off the breakfast menu.
*I don't let my husband buy Oreos anymore
*Sometimes I sleep in a sports bra and workout shorts, so I have less excuses to not work out in the morning.
*Instead of going out to eat a burger or chinese food, I make it at home. That way I know exactly what is going in it, because I have cleaner ingredients than any fast food joint.
*When making dinner, I make exactly 2 servings, only enough for my husband and myself. That way there is no temptation to go over my portion limit.
*I keep my diary open. I'm less likely to eat something stupid (read: "full plate of cheddar cheese fries and two Cherry Cokes") when I know any one of my MFP friends could see, aghast, and unfriend me out of shame!
GREAT ideas!!! I've been hesitant to work out in the morning but reading more and more I see that it's better for you and helps with your mood. The idea of a sports bra and shorts makes it even more tempting! That's my goal for tomorrow! THANKS!0 -
Cleaning. After I clean, I lose all appetite--whether it's the minor cardio aspect of it, or the general, "Ew, I just scrubbed that?" I just lose all hunger.0

IF and eating as clean as possible. It just made the whole notion of craving disappear.
This, also with weight training when I'm not recovering from surgery.0 -

Thinking about my flat stomach and hipbones
Thinking WHY I want to eat - am I just bored or really hungry.0 -

Limit white foods drink lots of water and green tea, Im playing around with negative calorie foods which for the last 2 days I have eat my fill and still had more calories to meet my 1200 goal I find I have to make myself eat even though Im not hungry. My secret is super enzymes after every meal and apple cider vinegar 1 tbs 3 times a day mixed with water.
Definitely cook your own foods its the only way to control what you are putting in your body.0 -

My Keurig. ITs quick coffee/tea. Which is a great snack alternative.
and a good music playlist. I look forward to working out solely because I look forward to an hour of pure adrenaline pumping music.0
