Old Habits Die Hard

For the last two days my struggle has been in the mid to late afternoon.   Food is on my mind and I've had a healthy protein/veggie meal for lunch.  By about 2:30 to 3:00pm I start thinking about food. The thought stays on my mind until I satiated my appetite.  Both yesterday I ate my chocolate ricotta with almonds.  This is so good and I enjoy every bite.  I want more, but I did quit and instead ate 30 pistachio nuts.  This is a bad habit that I need to get rid of. Food seems to be stronger then I am.  How am I going to beat this problem?

• go out and take a walk
• drink water
• read a book out doors
