Want to free yourself from habitual eating that can eat away at your willpower, and instead fill up those favorite jeans instead? Then try the S.T.O.P. method, from weight-loss expert Dr. Kenneth Schwartz:
1) Slow down- cravings usually last less than 15 minutes, so you might be able to stave it off by simply calling a friend, or go for a walk.
2) Think about what caused the craving- knowing your emotional eating triggers can be half the battle.
3) Open your mind- let your thoughts come into your mind, because they might tell you something about why you want to eat, like "I'm so angry right now, I just want to eat!"
4) Pay attention- now that you've let your thoughts run free, spend a few minutes analyzing them.
