It’s All In Your Head...

I just read two small articles about resisting temptation by using your senses!  Whenever a craving for a bag of chips or a chocolate cupcakes hits, it’s usually all you think about.  But according to Australian researchers, if you focus on the image or scent of something besides food, your desire for the treat lessons.  So try to remember how a rainbow looks or the smell of roses and you might forget about that craving for something bad!  

Another suggestion, if you pillage the pantry while you are cooking, bag your crazing habit and light a peppermint candle instead!  The aroma can stimulate the alertness region of your brain, distracting you from yet another craving for something not health worthy!
