Probably the most important; make sure you eat little bits of food throughout the day to keep you going, or else, at night when you’re relaxing and getting ready for bed, you’ll finally realize how hungry you are and you’ll want to binge.

Get rid of most of the junk food in your house. Designate one drawer in your kitchen for little snacks like chocolate bars, single serving chip bags, or other sweets. That way, if you get a craving for sweets, you have one specific place to get them, and cannot just mindlessly snack on junk scattered around your cabinets/cupboards.

Think of some things to do to distract yourself from hunger. Some of my favs are..

Chug at least one glass of ice water, or at least until you fill up your stomach and no longer have an appetite

Do your makeup. Look up a tutorial on youtube, one that either really focuses on the lips or one with a lot of product. 

Paint your nails, find a design you like (maybe a follow a tutorial on youtube) that requires a lot of time and attention.

Watch a movie

Go for a run/walk

Go online and create/add to a wish list of clothes you’ll buy when you finally reach your goal weight. If you have bought any of these clothes, go and try them on to see how much more weight you’ll need to lose before you can fit into those cute clothes.

Chew some minty gum.

Brush your teeth.

If the hunger comes on quick and is specific, it’s just emotional hunger. If the hunger is gradual and not specific, you really are hungry and should eat some fruit, apples are always a good choice, but keep the serving small.
