Temptation right in front of me!

The student in front of me in the student union is totally chowing down in front of me!

It smells like greasy Chinese takeout and I haven't had something like that in quite a while. At the same time, I am very hungry and waiting to go home so I can eat. :c

I feel like it's really hard to not think about all the unhealthy things I want to eat when this happens. What do you do when you see someone eating something you really want to eat?

    The way i solve a problem like this is by thinking about the amount of low calorie foods i could eat that would be equal to a mouthful of the chinese food

    Gum
    Coffee
    Cigarettes

    But most importantly, remembering your long term goals

    Thinking won't make you gain weight. When you get home eat what you had planned and get on with the rest of your day.
