Crazy weekend

Over the weekend I was at a friend's house.  His girlfriend was rushed to the hospital. I found myself wanting to eat everything in the vending machine. Any ideas on how to control stress carvings?

walk! listen to music, go outside, do anything to remove yourself from that situation...aka the vending machine.

I would love to have had my mp3 player with me.

Don't bring any money with you - no money = no junk food.  lock it in the car or have someone else hold it.   Head hunger is the worst.

Good point, thanks

Drink! Grab yourself a bottle of water from the vending machine, and refill at a water fountain (or ask if they have a tap at the nurses' station). When you've got a bottle in your hand and even liquid in your stomach, I find it's easier to pass on food.

Thank you so much and congrats on almost being at your goal.

Thanks! I got to goal once, now I'm doing it a second time :)

You will make it keep on fighting!

All excellent suggestions I will myself use having been in a similar situation recently and felt the same way.  By the way- is the girlfriend ok?
