I've identified one of my triggers for eating



Recommended Posts

Just now I realized one of my triggers for mindlessly eating. I try to eat only when I'm hungry, and I have a list of things to do when I'm hit with head hunger, but this is different. Definitely emotional hunger. It's my kids. Specifically my two youngest (11 and 7). Whenever they fight (which is often, they are both stubborn and hard headed, just like me) I feel an incredible urge to run to the kitchen and find something to eat. I'm fighting it, but oh it's strong! So instead I'm posting here to hold myself accountable.

Listerine strips are awesome. They taste terrible, are extremely strong and make anything you eat for the next few hours also taste absolutely horrific.

They will definitely keep you from eating or drinking anything and enjoying it.

And whenever your kids fight, go make them clean something. Windows, walls, baseboards, something mindless that you never get to anyways. They'll hate it and your house will look better in the long run.

I may have to try that, both the Listerine strips and making them clean. LOL I'm sure I could find something for them to do.

I use Grapefruit. Anything you drink or eat after eating a grapefruit taste awful. It curbs your appetite

Unfortunately I can't eat grapefruit. :( Posting here helped though. :)

Listerine strips are a good idea. We will all have nice breath too.

Excellent advice - both the Listerine strips and making the kids clean!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
