Actually a lot can be said for simply programming your mind. I have my good days and bad days like everyone else but lately I'm been training my mind (was great at this pre-kid, then afterwards gave myself permission to go nutty...bad) to think really bad thoughts when I eat something I shouldn't. For instance, I will think, "If I eat that, it's going to make my stomach hurt so bad I'll throw up". Then I'll really try to feel myself puking my guts out (sorry for the graphic). In any case, it's been helping because my sweet tooth is going right out the window, as is the desire to eat tons of garbage. There are times I'll want something sweet but I am making myself pick things (like apples, yogurt, etc.) that fuel my body rather than harm it.
