Comment on Ask HN: What's one small habit you started that surprisingly changed your life?

To curb your craving for unhealthy food or beverage, including alcohol, stare at the item for three minutes. Mediate on it. Allow yourself to be fully present before it. This trains you not to automatically give in to your unhealthy craving. Before long, you will realize that you "can" choose not to eat or drink it.

Never thought about that. I do that for shopping. I have a rule of "not today, but if I remember in 3 weeks" (no wishlisting). I should do something like this for sugar.
