5.Make It Inconvenient
Put those cookies or chips in a small bowl across the room and put the bag back in the pantry. You’ll have to get up each time you want some, and that’ll make you eat less. And it’s not just the effort to get up that makes the difference: It’s also because you have a chance to stop before you grab that next handful and ask yourself, “Do I really want any more?”
6.Reward Yourself
But not with food — make it something else you really like. Give yourself a prize for each small goal. For example, if you skipped that late-night ice cream on Friday, buy yourself some new nail polish on Saturday. Don’t hold out for broader goals like “eating better.”
