Three-food interference: if you're craving something you know you shouldn't eat, eat three things that you're allowed to eat (I usually do baby carrots, some nuts, celery, fruit, etc.) and see if you really still want it. I rarely ever do.
Think about why you think you deserve a brownie. I know I deserve washboard abs and a great butt, but not if I eat a whole pan of brownies.
Address your emotional issues. Instead of heading for the pantry, take five minutes to sit and breathe and think about why you're seeking food when you're not hungry.
