If you just feel like you want to eat, but you aren't actually experiencing hunger, don't eat. This can be harder than it sounds! If you are in the habit of stress eating, you might not have a good sense of how hunger feels. When you have the urge to eat, first:  Check for a feeling of emptiness in your stomach. Notice if you are thirsty, rather than hungry. Drink water if so. Staying properly hydrated can reduce overeating. Ask yourself when you last ate, how much you last ate, and if it's reasonable to assume that you might be hungry again already. If you just ate a meal, for instance, you probably aren't still hungry. Walking around and snacking will make it easy for you to forget what you are doing, leading to stress eating. Plan your meals ahead of time so that you aren't deciding what to eat when you're hungry. Eat full meals with foods from all food groups. Don't substitute snacks or sweets for meals.  Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you can cook food ahead of time without binging it, cook for leftovers. If you tend to stress eat anything in the fridge, don't. When you eat, make it an event. Set the table, even if you're eating alone. Use a placemat, set out a napkin and utensils, and make sure you have water to wash your food down. If you are eating lunch at school or work, make sure you are eating somewhere you can focus, like a park bench or a breakroom table. Don't eat at your desk, and certainly don't eat while you work. Look at your food, smell it, and notice its flavor. Stress eating ruins your enjoyment of your meal. If you focus on your meal, you are more likely to enjoy it, and more likely to notice when you are full. Pause after you have eaten most of your meal, and ask yourself if you are still hungry. It will take a while for your body to notice it is full, so take a 15-20 minute break if you're not sure whether or not you're full. If you want to watch TV, check your phone, or read, do it after your eating is done. If you can't stand eating in silence, try chatting with others, admiring a view, or listening to music. However, if you find yourself getting absorbed in these activities, stop them and pay attention to your food instead.  Don't let yourself eat and stress at the same time. If you feel stressed, stop eating. Change your environment if you need to: maybe you need to be outside, be alone, or write something down to worry about later. Finish your meal when you are calm. If you can only eat while watching TV, make sure you are watching a comedy and not anything stressful. If you're trying to be mindful of your diet, it's easy to go overboard and plan only healthy meals. Don't fall into the trap of eating the same food over and over, never eating treats, or giving up all your favorites. If you do this, you're more likely to go overboard when you're stressed. Focus on healthy meals, but do allow yourself occasional treats, such as a comfort food lunch or a tasty dessert. If you notice that certain foods trigger your desire to binge eat, keep them out of the house. Try to avoid them completely. If you crave something, allow yourself to visit a restaurant where you can order a single serving of it.  For instance, if you eat whole pints of ice cream, don't keep ice cream in your house. If you crave it, go to an ice cream parlor and order a small cone. Enjoy your treat! Stock your pantry with healthier snacks. If you tend to get hungry for snacks, keep healthy snacks in your house. Eat small portions of nuts, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy when you are hungry.

Q: Before starting the aerial, find your balance by standing with your legs apart and your arms at your sides. Finding your balance will help you execute the aerial more precisely.   Don’t do aerial cartwheels on a hard surface. Always do them either outside on the grass or inside on gymnastic mats.  Use a spotter who can catch you if you fall. Don't attempt an aerial cartwheel if you are not already proficient in regular and one-handed cartwheel as well as in other advanced gymnastics moves. If you go into doing aerial cartwheels with no prior gymnastics experience, you run a high risk of getting hurt. When you are just learning how to do an aerial cartwheel, make sure to always practice with someone there to spot you. Have the spotter stand behind you and over to the side in the direction that you will be doing the cartwheel.  A spotter can assist you by putting their right hand on your left hip when you are performing the aerial, and catch you when you are finished by putting their left hand on your right hip so you don't lose balance. A spotter can also catch you if you can't complete the aerial and topple over.
A: Stand with your legs a shoulder-width apart. Use a spotter when you are just beginning.

Article: The amount of water you consume overall each day is up to you, but experts recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces (that is, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water a day). If you forget to drink water before meals--an inevitable occurrence since you are trying something new--don't beat yourself up about it. Just try again at the next meal. You'll get the hang of it. Drink it both first thing when you wake up and 30 minutes before you eat a meal. The feeling of fullness you get when filling your stomach with water prevents you from overeating.  Drink after meals. Contrary to rumors that drinking while eating is bad for you, drinking after eating actually aids in digestion and prevents constipation.  Drink after exercising. You need to replace fluids, even if you’re not noticeably thirsty. Athletes should drink about 1.5-2.5 cups of water beyond the recommended amount (half your body weight in ounces). Tap water gets a bad rap for having chemicals in it, but the EPA directly supervises its production. Bottled water must follow a few regulations, but the EPA can’t guarantee its safety like it can with tap water. If your home has a filtration system in place, use it, but don’t stress about having access to filtered water.  Even though bottled water sales have surpassed those of coffee, milk, and juice, bottled water is terrible for the environment and some cities have started taxing it and removing it from their governments. Tap water is just as safe to drink, it's free, and does not harm the environment to consume. Home water filtration systems can sift out some things in tap water, like chlorine, but none of them can remove all water contaminants. Plus you have to maintain these systems or they will grow contaminants, defeating the purpose. To keep water at your fingertips all day, invest in a good BPA-free water bottle, whether plastic, metal, or glass.  You don't have to purchase a water bottle, but you do need to keep up with how many ounces of water you're drinking each day. Perhaps designate a cup at work and one at home and use those instead of a water bottle. When eating out, take advantage of the pre-meal drink order and ask for water. Make sure you sip your glass down two times before the meal is brought out. Your focus on the water diet is drinking water to lose weight, but exercise helps burn calories. If you already have a workout routine in place, don’t change it for the water diet. If you don’t, begin by walking several times a week before starting in on more strenuous exercise. Only exercise if you are also eating. Exercising while doing a water fast will deplete your metabolism even more, making you vulnerable to the effects of low blood sugar, which can be dangerous.
