To beat Cravings!!!!🤼♀️🏋️♀️👩🚒🙅♀️
The 5 Ds are......
✔ 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲
Postpone eating for 10-15 minutes when you feel an urge.
You’re not saying “no” – just stopping to think🛎 before you eat. You’re not ignoring the thought but dealing with it. While you’re delaying your decision, the next D makes it easier…
✔𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭
Cravings pass more quickly when you are involved in a distracting activity for a few minutes.
Try a non-food activity to give you something to do (so you don’t watch the clock for 10 minutes!)🤔😪⏰. Often the wave of desire to eat disappears in a few minutes when you keep your hands busy without food⚡
♠️Clean out a drawer, call a friend, brush your teeth, surf the web, or even learn to knit!
✔𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠
De-stress exercise such as deep breathing will help you remain calm when cravings hit, keeping you from making rash decisions🧘♀️🧘♂️
✔𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
It’s important to keep your eating environment at arm’s length – maintaining a distance. Keep food out of sight, not on counters👀
“out of sight👀, out of mind🧠” can help
Stay out of the kitchen when a craving strikes. And use the kitchen only for food preparation and meal consumption. Avoid it as a place to hang out🌀
✔D𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫
After waiting 10-15 minutes, determine whether you are physically hungry or just thirsty; these two are often confused.
Also consider whether you might have emotional/boredom hunger🤯, And avoid getting over-hungry, a main consequence of meal skipping🎈💡📌
In short
