As much as it is nice to follow everyones weight loss journey I thought it would be good to have a thread that just gave tips.
All appreciated. Perhaps food you found really filling. Things to take your mind off the eating. Anything that helps.
My offering is eat a slice of toast with honey for breakfast - more filling than porridge (a myth in my book porridge is filling)

I agree, I'm always really hungry by mid-morning when I have porridge for breakfast.
Another tip is to have water-based meals as the water fills you up while eating - stews, soups, etc packed with loads of veg.0 -
if hungry - have a large glass of water and if still hungry after 20-30 mins only then have a snack (pref low fat and low cal!!!!) (if you can wait that long!!!)0

Endame ( soya) beans as a snack REAALLLLLYYY fill you up.0
-
potatoes with tuna or peas.
replace crisps and junk with this.Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000

I clean my teeth when I'm a bit hungry as it puts me off the taste of some foods afterwards.
Also have a hot bath/shower - don't know why but I always feel less hungry afterwards.A G&T a day keeps the doctor away0 -
If you're hungry, paint your nails! Very difficult to open packets etc with wet nails!0

I have a thing for Maltesers and bought a big bag of fun size Maltesers so that if I fancy a bag, I only have a small one rather than rading the vending machine at work and eating twice the calories! Only 100 calories in a fun size bag.
Never really understood calling them 'fun size' though. 'stingy size' is probably more appropriate!Getting older is inevitable, growing up is optional :rotfl:0 -
Every couple of weeks spend an hour clothes shopping (window shopping only) and trying on new things ~ it puts your mind back in focus and gives me a real boost to get stuck in to lose what i need to to get into the next size down!You can stand there and agonize........
