HERE IS A LITTLE TRICK THAT HAS HELPED ME ESTABLISH BETTER EATING HABITS: I Reinvented A Space In My House Away From The Kitchen To Spend Time In
This trick has worked wonders for me! Let me start off by saying that I slept on the living room couch for most of the summer. The couch is very large and very comfortable and my room was disgusting. I had piles of clothing and possessions as high as my bed.... and my bed is on risers so I can use under-the-bed storage cases!! So after about a week of cleaning my room, I began sleeping in my own bed. I would say it is probably because I greatly enjoy my room now.
I rearranged the furniture so my 4-foot-long dresser is parallel to my bed (but not so close that I can't use it). On my dresser, I have everything I would use downstairs in my living room. I have also rearranged some of the decorations on the walls. Over my closet door, I have hung meaningful pictures of my mother; and by my bookshelf, I have put up a new concert poster. On top of my bookshelf, I have a wedding photo of my parents and around it are beautiful dried flowers from a couple floral arrangements from my mother's wake that hold special meaning to me.
CONCLUSION: The farther I am away from the kitchen, the less likely I am to engage in mindless eating. So what I have done was created a place that is desireable for me to spend time in on the second floor, away from the kitchen (farther away than the living room). Sleeping on the couch over the summer, I would wake up in the middle of the night, and the kitchen would be a 5-10-second walk away. Now that I enjoy spending time in my room, I raid the cabinets and fridge at night about 90% less than I did.
