guestdvp Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 One of my biggest challenges is finding new ways to comfort myself or manage stress without food. I walk, nap, browse the forum, drink tea, etc...but i'm struggling to find additional ideas to avoid cravings. Would love to hear other coping strategies!!

jmcbn Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Some kind of a craft works well - one that needs clean hands..... Or try something like tracing your family tree..... Or journalling - this one's particularly good for seeing the patterns/triggers that set you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
