One of the recommendations for helping to break a habit is to replace that habit with something else. So, for example, people who are trying to stop smoking are encouraged to make a list of little tasks they can do to distract themselves when they’re craving a cigarette.

In the same vein, I’ve been engaging in a number of different activities to help me avoid binge eating or emotional eating. In this series, I’m going to share with you some of the things I’ve been doing to ‘keep my hands out of the biscuit tin’. After all, I wouldn’t want to get chocolatey smudges all over everything would I?!

Watch out for the first of these posts coming soon…
