Mouth Hunger

[Snowdog]

I am not really hunger but I have mouth/brain hunger. When food is a big part of your life its hard to let go. Anyone have some suggest how to beat this?

I hope someone has a suggestion because I still struggle with this also. Mainly in the evening when I'm watching TV. I've tried sugar free candies and they help but it's temporary. Also tried diversionary tactics like sorting mail, stretching, etc, and they help. I should just throw out the tv lol.

During my psych appointment, the Dr. suggested that at every commercial for food, I stand up and swing arm weights. He said after a while, food commercials won't bother me anymore. I haven't tried it yet, but I am keeping it in mind.

This is a tough one for most of us. I've done the same, tried to keep my hands busy coloring, shuffling cards or even popping bubble wrap. Hehe, that's my latest addiction.
