I know you're probably rolling your eyes, saying 'whatever,' but I swear, that has helped me so much, with self control. Just repeat in your head "i have control, i don't have to eat the junk if i dont want to, I can do it" self-talk really does help!!! I know it sounds corny, but just give it a try.
Reply from melissa, Age 17 - 12/30/05 - IP#: 71.50.4.xxx put little labels on all of the food that say "NO NICOLE DON'T EAT ME I'M BAD FOR YOU!" and then on all of the good food put little labes that say "EAT ME NICOLE I'M GOOD FOR YOU!!" Or you can try getting all of your meals for the day planned out and ready... including snacks. that way you can just grab what you're gonna eat and you wont have to even think about grabbing the bad stuff.
