What are your dangerous points where food is what you use to overcome stress, anger or upset? I have realised it is when I stop the mad rush of the day - usually late in the evening and that mid afternoon dead spot between 3 and 5pm. This is when I start snacking as a way of avoiding or anaesthetising the stress.
However, awareness is the first step before you can even hope to alter this behaviour. I am ensuring I have healthy alternatives available - fruit, crudites or nuts and seeds. I am also thinking about why I deal with my angst in this way - was this a taught behaviour and can I adapt a different to it?
I am also continuing with my plan to relax and chill out more. If I am less stressed then I will have not need to have snack attacks. Maybe a bit of stronger willpower will work too. This is something that needs to be learnt and built upon. Most importantly do not beat yourself up if you find you have any of these vices. Just get on and change what is not working and keep what is. How is your plan proceeding?
