    When you feel a craving coming on, try one of these:

    - drink a large glass of ice water
    - brush your teeth
    - chew gum
    - go for a 15 min walk to get your mind off it

    I try to distract myself or have something minty in my mouth to make me not feel like eating whatever it is I'm craving.

    I agree with those choices. When Im in the mood for something its either water or making tea. Something else I have been steadily doing, is keeping my Brita pitcher out on the counter full all the time, so I can just fill up my glass. Of course I do this though because I found I don't like cold cold water. Anyways hope that lists helps!

    SNAP YOURSELF WITH A RUBBER BAND! (NO...don't...I'm just kidding) I drink flavored water (Crystal Light), cup of hot bouillon, and chew gum during the day. I buy microwave popcorn at wholesale stores and have made it my go-to emergency food. Lately I've been going to bed a little bit earlier than usual because my time for cravings is the worst at night. I've had a good couple of days when I've been perfectly satisfied by my meals while being under on calories and the longer I am awake the less willpower I seem to have. Hope that helps!
