Mirror Mirror On The Refrigerator!?!

Members Were Sparked

Mindless eating -grazing- can be such a problem for me from time to time I have found myself hanging onto the open refrigerator door surveying it's contents for something I will won't to eat. Not hungry. Not craving. Often emotional eating.

MORE INFORMATION:
To curb and ultimately conquer this tendency my Bariatric specialist recommended a full length mirror attached to the front of the refrigerator door.
Seeing myself coming at myself shook me into reality and conscientious of what I am doing at the time .

Purchased an inexpensive mirror.

For Maintainers on Weight Watchers

For 2011 there is no bookmark,so I copied the page from the maintenance Pocket Guide for my refrigerator, moved the 2010 bookmark to my bedroom mirror, and put the 2009 bookmark on my bathroom mirror
