What To Do...

What to do when I'm not hungry but I want to eat.  The feeling is overwhelming.  I've been really good this week with the diet (although no exercising has been done).  I've had my shakes in the morning for breakfast and for the most part have been eating low carb and healthy meals.  I was so proud of myself at lunch today because they ordered salad and pizza and I had a larger portion of salad and then only ate the toppings on my pizza and threw away the crust.  That is progress on having self discipline.  But then this afternoon I wanted to eat.  I'm not hungry.  I tried a piece of gum but that didn't work.  I tried drinking water but that didn't work either.  So I had a handful of nuts and that seemed to do the trick.  How do I get past these feelings? 

When I feel this way I feel out of control.  Its so overwhelming.  A couple of times this week I had an afternoon cup of coffee because it helped with the sugar or sweet cravings.  I do put creamer in my coffee so there are calories and carbs in it but I needed something and the calories in my creamer are significantly lower than the snickers bar I usually want!  I just need some tools to help be combat these feelings and hopefully soon they will subside and my healthy eating will just be a normal occurrence. 

I'm going to have to research this and see what others do....
