A member asked:
Can you tell me how to distract myself from wanting food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting question: It's not clear to whether you're actually hungry, needing food -- or whether you mean eating for emotional reasons, beyond nutritional needs. In the first case you want to listen to your body and feed it, rather than "distract" yourself from wanting food. In the case of emotional overeating, groups like overeaters anonymous provide excellent programs and support. http://www.oa.org/.
