I responded to a post earlier, someone asking for suggestions to get through cravings. I'll paste my answer below, but I'm wondering what you guys do (or have done) to get through those tough moments.
Here's my list:
When I have a craving at home. I've been grabbing my iPod and dancing/jumping around to one song. Then I check to see how I'm feeling. If the craving is over, I put the iPod away. If it's still there, I do another song. Sounds silly, I know. But hey, whatever works, right? I've been playing Wii alot too. I bought Wii Fit yesterday, thought I would give that a try too. I use a stress ball at work, and mints and gum in the car. I've even made myself a fake cig out of a bic pen to hold while driving, just for use when things feel unbearable. I travel alot for work so driving is a MAJOR trigger for me. I take many deep breaths throughout the day, these seem to help alot. Besides, it's really cool to feel myself taking a deeper breath than I've been able to take in who knows how long! I spend alot of time on this website, reading posts, blogging, learning what worked for others, taking comfort from the fact that I'm not alone in this fight.
