I have found that the head hunger is stalking me again and have taken up crocheting or making friendship bracelets to pass the time and not eat.

What are some of you doing to combat head hunger?

call my mom or my sisters. I find I want to munch in the car...or if the desire is really there to get something through the drive thru then i'll get on the phone. works every single time! :thumbup:

I tell myself, "Self, you're playing mind games that drive you nuts. Knock it off."

Seriously, I've been working on my internal narrative, and it has helped a lot. I experience very little head hunger now--and what I do experience, I can now get past by telling myself, "I can choose to eat that. But--nah, I choose not to." (There's something about it being a conscious choice, rather than a rule imposed by a doctor or diet, that makes a difference for me, in terms of emotional response.)
