Oh, did I want to hit that vending machine.

So, since I was wedded to my computer at the time, I decided to do a search on cravings.

Very interesting.

So tied to emotional eating and compulsiveness....

I also searched CK and found other good articles too.

Soon, I forgot what I was craving and why.....

So, a good distraction kept me from it.....

Anyone else have strategies to reduce cravings (and the subsequent binge)??

Distraction is what has kept me from bingeing. If I'm not doing something and boredom kicks in, I'll be searching for food to satisfy my boredom. So I find something else to do, like read a book, clean my room, go on CK and read the forums, or as I did last night, play with my cats.

Great suggestions.

I always think I want something sweet in the late afternoon. It hits almost every day.

I had a small sandwich today instead with chicken breast and a low carb wrap (the wrap was only 50 cals). So I am full now and not craving anything.

I had a very stressful morning, so I am just coming down from that now....
