Portion control! Keep track of your portions with a food
diary. Write down when, what, how much, where, and why
you eat. You can become aware of the times and reasons you
tend to eat too much. This will help you to make different and
healthier choices in the future. |
|
Stress eating. If your food diary reveals that you eat chips or
candy when you are tired or stressed consider preventing your
stress-eating and remove these foods from your pantry. If it
reveals you eat even when you're not hungry drink water or tea
(without sugar) or try doing something with your hands - knit,
play cards, draw, write a letter or email. |
