Use distraction such as calling a friend, going for a walk, work on a project that is not food related. 2. Remove yourself from the kitchen or other places where your food is stored. 3. Journal about your feelings, assess them and make an action plan to fix the things that can be fixed and accept those that can’t. 4. If you are tired, your brain will sometimes make you think you need to eat because it needs glucose to keep working. Maybe it would be better to go to bed early or take a short nap. 5. Try drinking a warm cup of herbal tea without any sugar, honey, or cream. Cinnamon tea, especially, is a natural appetite suppressant.
