i learned of something today which i thought was a neat little idea ..
For those of you who struggle with not wanting to eat between meals and waking through the night & wanting to eat when you can't sleep.

Try making an "Instead List" where you list some things on a piece of paper and hang them where you can see them.
The instead list, is a list of things you do when the urge to eat comes on that will help you change your mind..

Things like : listen to music, read a book, and for me i even include things like star gazing, writing or blogging, conversation or a hug..
When in the moment sometimes it's hard to think of things you would rather do than to feed the face, so for me it's like finding ways to feed my soul rather than feed my face.

i made my "instead list" today! It's hanging on my fridge, by my computer screen and right beside my mirror ...
