It’s 3 p.m. and an urge to eat chocolate is coming on strong. Or it’s late, you can’t sleep, and all you want is a handful of potato chips. Trust us, we’ve been there. But according to experts, that can’t-live-without-it feeling is often all in your head. In this video, we spotlight five ways your mindset can help you overcome your cravings.
Get this: Waiting just 10 minutes can actually help you beat a craving. The next time you are drawn to the doughnuts your coworker left in the break room, press pause, and tune into your body to figure out if you’re actually hungry. If you really do need energy, pick a snack that will keep you full for longer, like an apple with nut butter, or raw veggies and hummus.
Another way you can use your brain to outsmart a craving? Spend a few moments visualizing yourself eating the food you want. Research suggests doing this may actually help you eat less of that particular food.

For years, America Ferrera used to focus on the limitations of what her body could do, and how it looked. But becoming a triathlete helped Ferrera rethink her strength.
“This relationship of being disappointed in our bodies is a relationship that I started at a very young age, whether that’s because of the culture around me or the points of views that I was exposed to,” Ferrera, 33, tells Triathlete magazine for their July cover. “I didn’t see a lot of examples — or nobody taught me to appreciate and love my body for what it’s capable of. It was always about what it wasn’t and couldn’t do, and what it could be.”

So the Superstore star set out to challenge herself, and signed up for the Olympic-distance Nautica Malibu Triathlon with Team in Training to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in honor of a friend who had just lost her mom.
“I think recently in the past few years of my life I’ve started noticing a pattern of when something scares me, that’s an indication that I should do it,” Ferrera says. “There were absolutely times where I doubted whether I could do it. When we started, I was not a swimmer at all and I remember one night at swim practice where I was just literally weeping in the pool. I just started crying because I had to swim 600 meters in a row, and for someone who started like, ‘I don’t even know if I can do a 50! How am I gonna do this?’ ”
But she persevered; finishing the race with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, the day before the 2016 Emmys, and even wore her number to a pre-Emmys party. The accomplishment completely changed her mindset.
“Why I think triathlons have changed my relationship to myself is because the whole sport is about going further than you think you can go, living at the threshold and pushing yourself to the place where you feel like, ‘I never thought I could be here and I certainly thought I couldn’t go further,’ ” Ferrera says. “It’s at that threshold that you have the opportunity to choose something new which could just be to be nice to yourself in that moment, to acknowledge yourself in that moment.”

Ferrera — who finished her second triathlon in April — says the sport and its challenges gave her a greater appreciation for her body.
“Our little bodies — the small little space that we inhabit for the entirety of our lives — everything we feel, everything we experience, everything we do is contained inside of our bodies. And to be challenged physically is to have to meet all of your experiences,” she says. “That’s why, personally, working out has always been an emotional experience for me.”
It also showed her that everyone — including the 79-year-old and the man with cane that she spotted during the Lavaman Triathlon — can take on the challenge.
“What I love so much about triathlon is that anybody can do it.”

JOHANNESBURG – The Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) on Tuesday called for harsh sentences to officials found guilty of fraud and corruption.
Scopa said it was worried about the sentences given to people who had defrauded and robbed the state through corruption, chairperson Themba Godi said.

“Scopa has noticed that individuals who have committed crimes of corruption get suspended sentences of three years, or very low amounts of fines,” Godi said.

“Scopa believes that these individuals who rob the country of a lot of money and who are the cause of the rot that is increasingly plaguing the country, should receive very harsh sentences to show that this country is serious about curbing corruption.”
#Scopa Matakata: on the Nkandla issue we are investigating, there’s the issue of the, we have special prosecutors on it…
— Bonga Dlulane (@BongaDlulane) May 23, 2017
Godi said that those convicted of fraud and corruption should face the full wrath of the law and would engage with the Anti-Corruption Task Team (ACTT) regularly to find a way to tackle the increasing scourge of corruption.
“Scopa has committed itself to meet with the ACTT on a quarterly basis to receive feedback and to monitor their (ACTT’s) work.”
African News Agency
Manchester – Frantic family members are still searching for their loved ones after the blast at an Ariana Grande concert on Monday evening.
For the crowd of mostly young British music fans, the Ariana Grande concert was supposed to be a school night out enjoying cheerful high-energy pop.
It quickly turned into sheer terror instead.
Packed with shrapnel
The suicide bomber, 22-year-old Salman Abedi, detonated a powerful bomb moments after the American singer wrapped up her show, sending people into a desperate search for missing family and friends. The blast killed 22 people and injured 59 others, with 12 of the wounded under the age of 16, officials said.
The youngest fatality identified so far, Saffie Roussos, was only eight.
In attacking the concert, the bomber targeted an audience full of teenagers and ‘tweens – Grande fans who call themselves “Arianators”. Some wore kitten ears, like the star of the show.
Witnesses spoke of metal nuts and bolts strewn across the blast site, suggesting the explosive was packed with shrapnel.
Fans, many clutching pink plastic balloons, scrambled in panic for exits of the 21 000-capacity Manchester Arena. Some half-climbed, half-tumbled over barriers in terror. Parents waiting outside to pick up their children waded into the fleeing crowds desperately hunting for loved ones.
Very serious injuries
Many people took to social media and the hashtag #MissingInManchester became a cry for assistance on Twitter.
“I’ve called the hospitals. I’ve called all the places, the hotels where people said that children have been taken and I’ve called the police,” said tearful mother Charlotte Campbell. Her 15-year-old daughter Olivia attended the show with a friend who was found and is being treated in a hospital.
“She’s not turned up,” Campbell said. “We can’t get through to her.”
The ISIS claimed responsibility for the blast.
The medical director of the North West Ambulance Service, David Ratcliffe, said: “A number of people have very, very serious injuries and are requiring intensive care and people who are going to be in hospital for a long time.”
Controlled explosion
Thousands of people turned out for a vigil in Albert Square late on Tuesday, with the crowd holding a minute of silence to honor the victims of the concert attack.
Lord Mayor Eddy Newman and the city’s police chief were among the speakers in front of city hall in Albert Square. Several people in the crowd held up signs with “I Love MCR,” an abbreviation for Manchester.
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins also said that the priority for police was to establish whether Abedi was acting alone or as part of a network.
Police arrested an unidentified 23-year-old man in southern Manchester on Tuesday. They also raided the house in Fallowfield where Abedi was registered as living and carried out a controlled explosion.
Deadly blast
Alan Kinsey, 52, who lives across the street from the raided house, filmed at least 20 heavily armed police in helmets and armour march down the street, surround the house and blast down the door before entering.
He said he didn’t see anyone but police leave the house.
Concert promoters at London’s O2 Arena, where Ariana Grande is scheduled to perform on Thursday and Friday, say they are in contact with the singer’s team about her next steps.
Grande has yet to tell fans whether she will continue her European tour following the deadly blast at her concert in Manchester.
Random bag checks
Meanwhile, New York City police say they have tightened security at high-profile locations “out of an abundance of caution” following the deadly explosion in Manchester.
New York Police Department spokesperson J Peter Donald said in a statement that New Yorkers might see “heavy weapons teams”, explosive detection dogs and counter-terrorism officers.
Authorities also are conducting random bag checks at New York City transit locations.
Donald said the NYPD Intelligence Bureau “continues to be in regular contact” with its partners overseas.
Cape Town – Police Minister Fikile Mbalula has admitted the relationship breakdown between the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) and the police, which was on display in Parliament last week, was “worrisome”.
Mbalula told journalists in Parliament on Tuesday that he was fully aware of the impasse between IPID and the SAPS when they were summoned to appear before the portfolio committee on police a week ago.
“It is worrisome the posture that was taken before the committee, but nonetheless the portfolio committee called for that,” he said at a pre-budget press briefing.
“They basically called for both structures to appear, and it was a situation of back-and-forth, in terms of accusations and counter-accusations.”
He said as police minister, they must understand their legal responsibility first before he can act.
“IPID must do its work, within the prescripts of the law, and at the same time ensure that those cases of police corruption are brought to book.
“They must selfishly guard their own independence.”
Mbalula admitted that IPID was not enjoying the funding it deserved, after IPID head Robert McBride told Parliament earlier this month that they were struggling to stay afloat.
He said it was a matter worth exploring.
“We don’t have any issue with regards to the investigations of any police official, be it the [acting] national police commissioner or anyone else.
“We are looking at the issue, and we will respond when we are ready.”
Phahlane accusations
Mbalula deflected questions about the acting national police commissioner’s accusations that IPID had been “captured” by private investigator Paul O’Sullivan.
He said Phahlane probably had cogent reasons for his belief, and that journalists should ask Phahlane himself.
“I’m not his spokesperson, I’m his minister. So you should ask him.”
He said it was worrisome for him if IPID was not going to be IPID, but something else.
“I want IPID to expose rogue behaviour, and bring it to book. I want them to be fully funded so they have got the capacity.
“If they do not have capacity, they will fall into the hands of people with agendas. But I don’t discuss national security with journalists, I talk about it in my cocoon.”
New permanent police commissioner
He said the department will embark on the process of finding a new permanent police commissioner in the coming months, as suspended police commissioner Riah Phiyega’s term comes to an end in June.
“Before the end of the year, we will have another sheriff in town.”
Mbalula also touched on his ministry’s upcoming budget, R87bn, and what plans he has for his department going forward.
Various policies have been revised on his instruction, including the functioning of the detective services, the management of serial rape and murder, an anti-gang strategy, a “use of force” policy, and removing barriers to reporting on sexual offences and violent crimes.
“Here in South Africa, there is no thug or gangster that can stop us from searching them.
“It threatens our national security if some of our police force members are accused of being in the pockets of the gangsters.”
He also reaffirmed that the white paper on establishing a single, unified police service was in consultation phase.
