Don't give in to depression

Most people overeat for one of two reasons. They're either bored or they're depressed. (And if they're bored, they're probably depressed to be bored.)

One way to prevent yourself from eating while you're bored or depressed (and I'm talking about normal depression, not clinical depression) is to get out of the house. Not to go to a mall or some place that has food, but to a book store, or to a place where you can walk and get some exercise.

Substitute other activities for eating. Take a nice hot bath or something of that nature, if it's too cold to go outside. Put on a record with some cheerful music and dance. Anything to get the blood flowing and your lips turning upward.
