If you get hungry...

...and it is not time to eat and you are trying not to graze. As I was cleaning the basement today, I found a crossword puzzle book that I had bought some time back. I like to do simple and easy puzzles. So I thought I would put it by at my bedside. Then I got an idea! Why not do a puzzle the next time I am hungry and it is not time to eat yet. (Sorry folks, that does happen to me from time to time...you know head hunger, etc.) Then I decided to call it: "My Wait 20 Minutes Crossword PUzzle Book" and wrote that on the cover. As well I wrote down..."Slow Down and Drink H20" as a reminder in case my hunger is from lack of fluids. I am passing this on for those who might think it a fun & useful idea. Towanda

Towanda, That's a great idea. It's way too easy for us to slip into our old habits, so we really need to be conscious of what we're doing. Something like a puzzle is great for doing just that. Take care, Michelle

Towanda, Great idea! When I get the head hunger I get on the computer, get up and do some chores, take the dog for a walk, something to redirect me from the thoughts. It works wonders...soon I have forgotten all about how "hungry" I was. Doing crosswords is a good idea, because your hands are kept busy. Thanks for sharing...this is a good topic! Ann 77lbs GONE!
