Problem: Article: After a week without your top naughty food, do something nice for yourself – go to a movie, buy yourself a new record, whatever would be meaningful to you.

If you’d rather do something alone, learn how to knit or fly fish, for example. Think about something you’ve wanted to try but haven’t, and consider doing it instead of giving in to cravings. Some studies have shown that smelling a non-food odor when you feel a food craving, can diminish that craving. Researchers have used jasmine scent effectively, and in the lab, neutral odors that are unfamiliar to the people smelling them. So get out there and smell some jasmine flowers to stop craving your naughty foods! If any of your triggers are emotional ones, including stress, sadness, or loneliness, it won't be as simple as finding substitutes, halving proportions and wishing yourself free of the cravings. You'll need support to work on the underlying emotional reasons. This might be by way of counseling or, or through reading widely on overcoming your emotional issues and learning to engage your emotions more constructively. If you're suffering from stress, it's really important to learn the many ways possible to reduce stress that are far more effective than filling your unhappiness with poor quality food. Hypnotherapy is sometimes used to help reduce cravings and addictions. Your hypnotherapist will likely ask you about your food cravings and the emotions invoked by food prior to hypnotizing you. Expect to be given visual cues and visualizations to help distract you from your naughty food cravings. Don't give up your naughty foods completely. The key is to eat naughty foods in moderation and to leave them for special occasions rather than to indulge in them regularly. Learn to savor the flavor. Aim to really appreciate the flavor of the food you're eating rather than aiming to get it into your stomach as fast as possible. When your naughty indulgences breach your faith-based or other beliefs, or when eating the food leaves you sick, the issue is broader than simply concentrating on your weight or future health.  In the case of breaching your faith-based beliefs, speak to your faith mentor, priest, minister, rabbi and seek solutions to the situation. He or she will likely have some good advice for you, since food cravings butting up against faith-based diets are common. If you're following a particularly strict diet like vegetarian, vegan, fruitarian, raw food, etc., and you're eating food that doesn't align with your dietary and wider ethical beliefs, it's time for a rethink about what you're doing and whether the choice you've made is working for you.
Summary: Find new treats for yourself that aren’t food. Exercise Find new interests. Smell something. Face the emotional triggers. Try hypnotherapy. Indulge in your naughty foods very occasionally. Face up to your beliefs or health needs.

Problem: Article: Pour all the ingredients into a food processor. Do not put the oil in yet. Keep it aside. The addition of mayonnaise is what makes the dressing creamy. Use the food processor to combine the ingredients until they are smooth. Continue processing until the onion is completely pureed. Slowly add the oil into the dressing as you process it. The dressing is best if served chilled, but can be served immediately. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Some other spices and flavors you can add to the dressing include 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of paprika. You can also try 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Summary: Pour ingredients into a food processor. Process the ingredients. Add the oil. Refrigerate. Try some variations.

Problem: Article: You’ll want to enlarge your pattern piece to the size you want your animal to be. Make sure that you allow for a 3-millimeter seam allowance. That means you need that much extra space for the animal to fit together once you stitch it.  For example, if you were sewing a mini dog together you would have eight pattern pieces in all. Two body pieces, two head pieces, one belly piece, one back piece, one crown piece, and one tail piece.   A snake would only have the long four football shaped pieces. For example, if you were making the mini dog you would start by sewing the body and head pieces together. In the pattern piece layout there will be letters that correspond with where each part connects. For this little dog, you’ll be sewing the two head pieces on top of the two body pieces. Now you’ll connect the two pieces. You won’t be sewing all the way around obviously. Only sew the top half of the body together as the letters indicate. For example, if you were making this little felt dog you would start to see the outline of your animal.  If you made your own pattern pieces for the snake you'll just want to connect each of them to form a cylinder. For example, if you were making the little felt dog you would need to add the crown piece to the top of his head. Once the body pieces are together you can start to figure out how to fill in the gaps. The little felt dog also requires a brown speckle on his back to fill in the hole on is back. The belly piece is generally one of the last pieces to add. Using the little dog as an example, you would turn the body pieces upside down and add the belly piece to the bottom around the edge. You absolutely need this opening so that you can stuff your animal. If you forget to leave the opening you’ll have to undo your stitching or start all the way from the beginning. The little dog example has a hole already built in for stuff, but you might need to leave your own hole.
Summary: Cut out the pattern pieces from the felt. Start stitching the corresponding pieces together. Sew the two body pieces together. Add your connecting and additional pieces. Connect your belly piece. Don’t forget to leave an opening.

Problem: Article: If you have washers, place them around the crank spindle before installing the cranks. Push the right side of the crankset onto the right spindle and wrap the chain around the crank’s chainring so that it's between the bike and crankset. Wrap the chain so that it runs from the back gears to the chainring on the crankset. Jiggle the left crank arm and push it all the way down the spindle. If either side of the crank isn’t going all the way down the spindle, tap on it with a rubber mallet to push it into place. Place the crank bolts back into their sockets. Then, use the Allen key that you used to uninstall the old cranks to screw in the new crank bolt. Continue turning each crank bolt clockwise until you can’t anymore. If your crank bolt has a plastic compression cap that goes over it, place the cap over the center of the bolt and push down to pop it into place. Tighten the cap to the recommended torque, which is typically 5 Newton meters. If your crank has pinch bolts, turn them clockwise with a 5mm Allen key to tighten them and secure the crank to the bike. Tighten them to the manufacturer's specifications, which is generally around 15 Newton meters. Self-extracting cranks do not have pinch bolts. Place a pedal into its socket and start turning the crank counterclockwise. This is an easy way to screw the pedal back onto the bike. Go over to the other side of the bike and repeat the process. Continue screwing the pedals into the crank arm until they are tight.  Most pedals will have an engraving that reads “R” and “L” for right and left. This will help you determine which pedal goes on which side. Make sure that the threads of the pedals match with the groves on your crank arm so that you don’t strip the threads.
Summary:
Pop the right crank onto the spindle in the 6 o'clock position. Slide the left crank onto the spindle in the 12 o'clock position. Screw the new crank bolt into its socket with an Allen key. Replace the compression cap and tighten the pinch bolts, if applicable. Screw the pedals back into the crank arms.
