Stop eating foods I like?

Question

Okay, I love certain foods, and if I see them, I WILL buy/eat them. How do i stop these cravings? For instance, If I see those andes chocolate things, I will eat a lot of them. They have so much calories in them. But that's only one thing I'm like that with. What Im doing now is working out and I want to try to only eat lean cuisines, or any light calorie foods. But as I said, how do I just say 'no' to the foods I like so I DONT eat them?

Also, it's obvious I shouldnt buy them. but again. IF I SEE THEM, I WILL BUY/EAT THEM! that's the thing. How do I just..stop liking them.

Answer 1

Don't buy them! Simple!

ALSO, tell yourself if you feel like you're caving and are going to eat something you shouldn't -- I HAVE HAD THAT BEFORE AND I CAN HAVE THAT AGAIN SOMETIME, BUT I DON'T NEED IT NOW.

Answer 2

As hard as it is to walk past . . don't buy them. Andes mints are NOT sold in the same area as the lean cuisines! Just don't go near the section that sells them or try not to!
The first step to creating a healthy lifestyle is commitment. You have to mentally commit yourself to keeping on track, and do what it takes to suceed!
I have an issue with munchies at work and we have a vending machine that sells Gardettos . . . I eat them consistantly throughout the day, and for some reason cannot stop buying them! I know how you feel, and my solution is to not bring ANY money to work, therefore being unable to buy the chips from the machine!

Answer 3

Its good that you are trying to eat only lean cuisens/light calorie foods. What you can do to stop certain cravings like that is to everytime you think of eating an Andes chocolate ( they are good i must admit) just chew a stick of gum, or drink water. I was addicted to smoking for 12 years, before having a son. I was encouraged by family to stop, and the only reason I could stop was drinking water or chewing a stick of gum everytime I thought of smoking.
Good Luck with stoping the craving!

Answer 4

i have a close family member who's going through the same thing. the best thing you can do, is not buy it. and make sure you STUFF yourself before you go shopping, you buy more when you're hungry. and i personally feel like staying away from junk food the most, right after i run. so maybe stuff yourself then run to the store?? lol. but seriously don't buy all of the junk food, and only shop on a full stomach.

Answer 5

If you are full before you shop, then you will be less likely to crave things you see. Try drinking a big glass of fat free milk or water to fill up your stomach, when you are having a craving, then maybe it will go away if you are so full you cant think of eating!

Answer 6

What you should do is attach a photo of the way you look now in your wallet. And when you go to the store to pull your money out you take a look at that picture and say to yourself is that chocolate going to get you to look any different than that picture.

Believe me that will hit you like a brick wall.

Answer 7

Buy something you really don't like tasting, like vinegar maybe, and smear it on food that you like that you want to stop eating. It's called aversion therapy.
