The Urge To Snack

I am sitting at my desk working in my home office, and suddenly I really want to go in the kitchen and get a snack. I finished the candy my husband brought home, but the urge to snack is gnawing at me! I ate a late breakfast, so I am not hungry at all, in fact I am a little on the full side, so why do I want to eat so badly? I think it is boredom and the tedious work I have in front of me which I need to finish today.

So here is the tip! When you get the urge to eat, from boredom or stress or lack of sleep, which apparently is a big contributor to weight gain, the feeling will pass if you let it. Just ignore the urge for a while, until it passes. You can wait for the next meal. I know you can! I have to get back to work……. and I am not going to eat! Writing about it helps too.
