| 1. If your trying to save points for a special occasion or have no points left, make a rhubard and sugar free jelly for 0 points. It's very filling and counts towards your fruit intake :). 2. When I get the munchies (usually at night)I try and turn to pickle onions as they are also 0 points. 3. Freeze a WW yogurt (toffee or vanilla flavours only 1/2 point) and eat with a teaspoon so it lasts longer :). 4. While cooking for the family and to avoid food jumping in your mouth, slice up some carrots or other favourite veg to munch on. And pour yourself a glass of diet lemonade in your best wine glass. All free foods but the wine glass in your hand makes you feel like your treating yourself, plus filling your tummy before you eat so you will feel fuller! 5. For a crisp alternative try Pataks pappadums. They are a pack of 10 and for the whole pack its 4 1/2 points (that's if they are cooked in the microwave). The garlic flavour are very nice. 6. To encourage you to stay out of the fridge, if your feeling a munchie attack coming on, stick a 'fat photo' on the fridge door. :D |

| 1. Pinpoint the specific emotional state which usually brings on an eating binge. Feelings of discouragement, anxiety and bordom are some of the many causes of compulsive eating patterns. Break your habit pattern by finding something else to do instead of eating whenever you feel that familar emotion overcoming you. Any activity, whether writing a letter or calling a friend, will do the trick. 2. Practise overcoming your urge to eat: Open the refridgerator saying out load, "I just can't stop myself from eating this food", and then close the door and walk away. Thus you will prove to yourself that you can break your snacking habit, and the more you practise this little exercise, the more automatic will become the action of closing the fridge door. 3. Be more sensitive with your stomach. If your stomach tells you that your appetite has been satisfied, then stop eating at once. 4. When confronted with your favourite food, compare it with a mental image of yourself as slim as you want to be. You will have no trouble deciding which is important to you. 5. Change the emphasis of a meal from the food of a social occasion. Make a point of eating with another person, eating slowly and stopping when you feel comfortably satisfied. The other person can remove the food if you overeat. Then start practising this alone until you are completely in control of yourself. 6. Rate your food on a 5 point scale, according to how impotant it is to you, making 5 the most impotant. Then allow yourself only the food highest uo on your scale. This will save you calories/WW points. 7. Break your habit of eating as soon as you get home by changing your usual routine. Park differently, use a different door, and immediately involve yourself in another activety rather than entering the kitchen. |
