The good thing about eating is you can’t do it if food is not available.
Right now food is not available. I went out of town to help a good friend move into her new digs and the place I am currently staying at is almost completely devoid of food. It is kind of annoying that I have to go out and buy food when I am hungry, but on the positive side - I can’t sit around eating what isn’t here.
I probably should take a clue from staying here and keep less food around my own house. Not being able to eat when I am bored is fantastic. I know that I have lost a pound or two since I have been here just from the lack of overeating + the work of packing and moving stuff around.
So… I need to remember… don’t keep a ton of unneeded food around and weight loss will be easy. Hehe.

Hey! I just found your new site…nice!
Odd thing…I find that I am more hungry when there isn’t any food around. Why is that?
I definitely get that. What I’ve done is basically just remove all the things that would tempt me from the house, and leave all the inedible stuff
With a family of 4 keeping food out of the house isn’t an option for me, unfortunetly. But that’s just life and I got to figure it out!
I agree with FLG…I try to avoid having “bad” foods in the house. If it is not there, it can’t tempt me!
@ Irene: Haha. Glad you found the new site.
@ FLG and KK: Yeah! Remove and avoid temptation is all there is to it. Hehe.
@ John: I understand that. When I have stayed with my family during breaks from school I get completely thrown off because just having the food I want and need is not an option. having three younger and skinnier brothers means lots of food at home. I just try to avoid thinking about it being in the kitchen when I am there!
