I found this list extremely helpful. I hope you do too!

It's great to know what your body actually needs so that you can satisfy it rather than reaching for something that will do more harm than good.

    This was on Graphjam.com and I made a print out of it. It's in my kitchen so when I go in there thinking "I want chocolate" I can identify why I want it and what can help me get what I need.
