Lots of us find it more a challenge to break old habits of mindless/boredom snacking. Try a new strategy and check in a week or so if your habit has changed. If it hasn't, why not? Then try something else.
I find it helpful while cooking to have a sink of soapy water ready. I wash as I go so I'm not licking spoons.0 -
How is your protein and fat intake? I am at 1800 calories for the day and I find when I eat more protein and fat, I am fuller longer.0

What also works for me when I'm in a deficit is to dedicate sweets to a certain time of the day - like after dinner. If I'm hungry at other points during the day, I have to go for something nutritious, and, at the end of the day, I can use my remaining calories for a treat.

Ya, my day goes much better if I save treats for after dinner. Having an apple now (after lunch.)
