    soothed and relaxed.

•   Some people have a special place -- the kitchen, in front of the TV, or even the
    bed - for eating an outsize portion of ice-cream.

    when she needed them.
I Scream, you Scream,

    cream.
I Scream, you Scream,
We All Scream For Ice Cream

•   Lori recognized her ice cream urge as an old hand-to-mouth habit.

•   She figured out that maybe she ate in front of the TV as a kid.

•   Now, she liked to settle down, watch TV, and eat a quart of ice cream.

•   She wondered if she could ever change her hand-to-mouth habit.
I Scream, you Scream,
We All Scream For Ice Cream

•   Could she get satisfaction by doing her hand-to-mouth habit, without ice
    cream?

•   She practiced her hand-to- mouth habit, resting on her bed, eating fat-free
    yoghurt.

•   Sometimes she practiced moving her hand-to-mouth habit without food.

•   Anyway, she finally lost weight.
I Scream, you Scream,
We All Scream For Ice Cream

•   Maybe you can try what Meredith, Tom, or Lori did.

•   The idea is to make a habit change that feels rewarding--minus the ice-cream
