Why do we act like we don’t know what’s in the refrigerator or pantry.  I know what I got… it’s just not what I want.  I’ll open those doors 10 times a day hoping to see something new and delicious.  My refrigerator meditation includes fantasies of left-over Alessandro’s pizza or cold Moo-Shui Chicken or maybe chocolate milk.  Not there. Never there. Ever.

If it’s not really time to eat -  If I’m not actually hungry  - maybe I shouldn’t be eating anything at all.  Instead of trying to find something to satisfy that ‘I just want a little somethin’, close the refrigerator doors and move along.  Try one of these instead:

Drink a glass of water.  When you think you’re hungry, you’re probably just thirsty.  I know, that’s SO boring when you really want a hot buttered biscuit.

Take a quick walk.  Go check your mail or something.  Just get out of the house.  I open the refrigerator when I’m bored.

Call a friend.  You’ll be less likely to eat while talking on the phone.  Friends don’t let friends talk with their mouths full.

And this little solution… check out the video of what I do when I catch myself in the refrigerator meditation.  Nothing super exciting but it totally does the trick!
