I posted this in another thread (the portion about the PIG--only), and it will give you something to think about:
I read some recent articles lately, and I am going to post some thoughts based on memory of these articles, as I think its relevent to the OP's thread topic:
Sometimes we stuff our faces or drink things we know we shouldn't, and then beat ourselves up later. Blame this on your internal P.I.G.
"Problem with Immediate Gratification"
When you crave something, stop and ask yourself: Is it me that is hungry? Do I really need this, or is it my PIG?
If its your PIG you dont have to listen to it; you can distract it.
Take your PIG for a walk, feed it healthier food to satisfy the craving (like drinking several glasses of water--that should cure it....you may not want the soda or water for a few hours---->
)
In other words have somthing in place (like have preached many times on this forum) to counter act weakness ponts. I have some ideas that you can decide to use if you want them.
Because if you keep feeding your PIG everytime its OINKS (LOL), pretty soon you gett a bigger PIG.........
The bigger the PIG the harder it is to FENCE IN.

The major part of the body that has to be intune with your cravings is your brain and using IT to combat physcial complications with cravings.
There is really no other alternative.....accept it because you simply dont have a choice if you want to stay within the framework of the goal you seek.
If you cannot act on a whim (in other words you know cravings are going to occur, and have the will and plan of action in place or strong will power) to combat these cravings, then you have to seek other alternatives until you find one that works for you. I dont want to here I tried everything......you havent.........you have tried the one the fricken works--yet.
Dont go for second BEST BABY!.........EXPRESS YOURSELF!
For
nearly every I CANT there is an opposite: I CAN......FIND IT!
1. You cordinate your calories evenly divided throughout the day (Multiple meals).
2.
You are going to have to make more of an investment in the I CAN combat these cravings, than investment of succumbing to them.
You develop a plan to combat these cravings, you get a pen a paper and starting "brain storming ideas" and you dont stop until ones you develop work.
Write down your strengths and weaknesses. Carry over the strengths that are applicable to combat these weaknesses.
I dont care how small they are, small steps (or temporary fixes) can lead to larger more developed fixes, and cover your entire problem in the end.
A. Yes, I recommend drinking LOTS of water, and though it may be a "temporary fix" it can temporarily fix your problem, and make you retreat to your brain, and give the break you need to re-evaluate, and allow your will power to kick in and allow you to take over the situation. I dont care if this is Crystal Lite, or another low calorie (not cola's, I dont recommend this, however) beverage.
B. Select a VERY LOW calorie item and eat the hell out of it. For example, when I hit a craving in my deficit dieting, I have been known to eat a WHOLE HEAD OF LETTUCE in one sitting with non-calorie dressing.....A whole head of lettuce has VERY LITTLE calories, and is BIG and leafy.....and will fill you up quick: This is an example, you can eat a half or what ever it takes. Believe me you wont feel like eating afterwards......LOL.
Get some other VEGGIES around the house, that are low calorie and carry alot of BULK--that you can tolerate and eat, and drink your water and/or crystal lite with it---ALLOW YOURSELF TIME TO MENTALLY RETREAT......while maintaining your focus and path on your goal.
C. Usa COMBO of A and B, and rid yourself from the situation: GO for a walk, go play a video game, go do some cardio (like on bike or other like equipment), and get your blood moving and pumped up.......affix yourself toward your goal path.....
You can choose to be your own enemy or your best friend.....its about choices we make whether the enemy is produced or the friend is produced.
3. Identify the things that "KILL" your appetite. If you dont know what they are-----create it. UH! What do I mean by this one? MANY things can kill an appetite quick.....we all have them---trust me.
4. Establish your personal boundaries with your people you associate with.
Let them know how important your goals are to you. Assist yourself and having them assist you through support during times of personal crisis or bumps in the road that develop.
This is a brief synopisis.
