It's also powerful to read other people's experiences.

Drinking a big glass of water & chewing a piece of gum or eating a couple sugar free hard candies nips my "fake" hunger in the bud most of the time. If I'm still hungry 15 minutes after drinking 8 oz of water & having my hard candy, then I'll have a small snack. <BR/><BR/>You'll get out of your hunger stage, you've just gotta find ways to occupy yourself when you *think* you're hungry!Tealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994083331228276203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-62387750292253805122007-10-24T01:14:00.000-04:002007-10-24T01:14:00.000-04:00Hi Princess,I am sorry you had a visit from the Ov...Hi Princess,<BR/>I am sorry you had a visit from the Overeating Ogre and he brought family no less!!<BR/>It sounds like you are just getting over an illness and that makes us all want to reach for "comfort foods" which for most are in the form of carbohydrates and you know how that sets off the Ogres! I do the same thing when I am PMSing, not feeling well or even if my mood is a little depressed. All of those situations have the potential to make me search my pantry for some frivolous carbohydrates as I retreat to lick my wounds. Hang in there and give yourself a few days to get back on your feet.<BR/>The fiber sounds like a wise idea and maybe even try a protein shake to get you back on track. <BR/>Take care and don't send that Ogre my way when you kick him out!HoneyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115470810350966170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-28906711845419655452007-10-23T21:08:00.000-04:002007-10-23T21:08:00.000-04:00dont worry, we all go through phases like this.

Its when we totally stop counting, or paying attention to what we eat that we really lose our way.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938217552213908906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-89356287396748749782007-10-23T18:08:00.000-04:002007-10-23T18:08:00.000-04:00Yeah, I've been building that "drink 2-4 glasses o...Yeah, I've been building that "drink 2-4 glasses of water" as I prepare/heat a meal. It really does help. I occasionally forget, but I'm trying to make it a firm habit. Am heating up a chicken and spinach wrap now, and I just drank two cups of water and one cup veggie juice. :)<BR/><BR/>The PrincessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195021427919264185.post-70228258190731317852007-10-23T15:01:00.000-04:002007-10-23T15:01:00.000-04:00hang in there .. u are doing great.. dont get to u...hang in there .. u are doing great.. dont get to upset with yourself when the hungries strike.. remember we all deal with that from time to time.. try and do things that distract you.. and be sure you are getting in all your water.. you might simply be thirsty too..
