Bad day

I usually have a piece of fruit to stave off the hunger pains, then go for a long walk. The walking seems to take the body away from feeling hungry.

I don't have anything in the house that isn't on my food plan. I never let myself get hungry. I often pre-log my food and then just eat off the list. Yes, and then do other things besides think about food.

1) get out of the house and away from the food!
2) drink a big glass of water or a cup of tea
3) gum! sometimes all you want is the chewing motion, and if you already have something in your mouth, you're less likely to put something else in it!
4) when you do eat, eat things with more fiber/ protein so that you get hungry less quickly
5) similarly, for a short term fix, eating soup is a very good way to feel full without a lot of calories!
5) indulge! it's not good to always deny yourself things, and thinking about food all the time and denying yourself all the time will lead only to very bad binging! Plan out your small indulgences, relish them, and make sure they fit within your meal plan. Also -- do not feel guilty about them! That's just not healthy!

Get out of the house, away from food.
Swimming pool or other safe places.
Tea with a strong taste/aroma.
Work - keep your hands busy, wear working gloves.
