I have a good tip for those of you suffering from the munchies.Get on the computer or just sit in your room and put the radio or your fave c.d. on. Then sing along with all the songs.If you don't know the words,make up your own.This will keep your mouth busy so you don't have to rush into the kitchen to eat something.hope this helps some of you!

try to not get that hungry while you're around food. like eat something on the way home, something healthy- then when you're home you won't be so hungry and crave so much stuff...

i read the blubberbuster advice for cravings and it said to hold your hands together. i was like yeah right! that is not going to work for me! but last night i watched my boyfriend eat a reeses sunday and i didn't have a single bite. as simple as it sounds- it works, hey- if you don't have your hands free then you won't grab and eat stuff. also try to keep busy too-make it so you don't have time to binge, whether it's mentally busy or physically busy...

the only advice i can give is for you to eat only when your hungry and when you do eat, only eat enough to fill you up. if you go into the kitchen to get a snack when your not hungry, you need to think to yourself "i want to lose weight and by eating this food when im not hungry i am gaining more weight". the only thing you can do is fight yourself and not eat if your not hungry and dont eat a lot when you are hungry. good luck!

hey! i know what you're going through but just think about how disappointed and mad you'll be at yourself about an hour after you eat whatever it is that you're craving for. also, brushing your teeth whenever you have a craving for junk food should help cuz who wants mint flavored chips :)? good luck!

well make sure u are doing something at four and maybe u wont get the craving cuz a craving is just a mental thing that is telling ur body to eat when u arent hungry an to break that u need to be doing something at 4 and then see if u get it u might but u need to ask urself do i want to pay the price of eating this candy the price is getting fat and say to urself could i have a carrot and pay the price of being healthy think bout that. I hope i helped
