Food is too f*ing delicious.

8. LOL, I drink...

Make a smoothie shake, no? Why do you think that yummy lactose-free Fairchild non-GMO chocolate milk is for in the fridge this week? Maybe add a few hunks of banana, a splash of Kalua or cold briew, or some PB2 powder and ice - the chocolate ration smoothie for the day! Pour into my recycled Oui glass.

Or sometimes, just for fun, a couple of Redi-Whip shooters - can to mouth, LOL! I knew, ewwww...

9. For most of my life, I've usually gone ahead and eaten

I’ve made some changes in recent months, notably ‘intermittent fasting’. I try to eat only between 10 AM and 5 PM, but I also have 2-3 cups of coffee earlier in the morning. It works well on weekdays, but weekends are more challenging. I’m having coffee right now, and I’m not feeling hunger at all, despite finishing supper at 6 PM last night. Oopsie.

13. Coffee or my iced green tea and lemon has that effect on me too! Kills hunger

Hopped up on caffeine, I don't even miss food, I guess. As above, a mini chocolate smoothie shake.

10. I have the sweet tooth of a 4 year-old.

I’m currently traveling and while there are no real bakeries where I live they seem to be right next to every hotel I’ve stayed in. Fresh baked croissants, fruit filled turnovers, egg custard tarts. The struggle is real.

11. I don't think this actually happens to me, but I think I'd have a drink - coffee probably.

12. Snack on some dry cereal, Cherios, Kashi, Wheaties.........

[quaint]

14. Air popped corn

[cachukis]

15. Garlic. Lots of flavor without the calories.

[Goodheart]

16. Now there's a thought!

[Pobeka]

17. Go for a walk. Especially now. Flowers are blooming. Weather is great.

[Fla Dem]

18. A couple of handfuls of peanuts if home. If out maybe a stick of gum.

[Etherealoc1]

19. Minty gum

Immediate satisfaction for me

[Tesha]

20. You know those quizzes asking you what you would not eat???

I always get 0% - I love food - all kinds of food!

[highplainsdem]

21. Trident cinnamon-flavor gum. Especially if I'm craving sweets. I think

the cinnamon flavor reminds me just enough of cinnamon pastries that it takes care of the craving.

[malthaussen]

22. Cracker Jacks, of course.
