That's a tough one to answer for me because I usually fail myself. I try to read, watch some of my favorite shows, take apart my computer and clean it. The best trick for me to fight cravings is to just leave my house, if I'm not home then I can't eat anything bad that I might be craving for. xD0

I don't know but next time I am in Richardson I'll eat at Masami because I'm craving Japanese.
As an answer, I don't restrict myself - even when cutting as I am now. Today, I had ice cream and a swiss roll cake. I just make room, calorie-wise, for my daily treats and never have cravings compared to back when I tried to eat too "clean."0 -
I search for new workouts!!0

Drink Water
Or Smell Whatever I'm Craving - that tends to satisfy my craving enough!0 -

My main defence is not keeping snack attack foods in the house. I am really, really bad at saying no! So when I feel munchy I am sort of forced to snack on the healthy stuff. And tea, I drink a lot of tea!0

Lots of water, if I'm craving something salty I usually will eat a pickle, if it's sweet I will have a Ghiradelli 72% cocoa square. I have found if I really am craving something and drinking water doesn't work that if I do one of the others then I am good. If I ignore it too long then I wind up eating a ton of junk!0

OP, if your pictures are current and unless you're very, very small, I suspect you are hungry because you are already at least a healthy weight at less than 115 lbs and restricting your diet to get to 80lbs is something your body does not want to do. I think you should really reconsider if your goals are healthy and reasonable.0

I 'window shop' online, I just cruise through various clothing websites and imagine what I would like to buy , thinking of how far I have come motivates me while looking at what clothes I could buy! It is not easy but once you do distract yourself, it does work...0

Pinterest, like someone else said "window online shopping", and doing my hair or something.0

I stick to Water and Coffee seems to work for me If I feel hungry I either have a glass of cold water or a cup of black coffee.
I now use IF 16/8 so I fast for 16hrs a day (22.00-14.00) and after 4 weeks I don't even crave food during my fasts.0 -
