    Find something to do? If you're bored and aware of that, find something to do that will take your boredom away or take your mind off of snacking.


    Exactly this... I was struggling with night time snacking too. So now at night i loom instead. I am working on a blanket for my son... Its very relaxing and takes my mind off snacking! Plus they say knitting&sewing&looming and all that stuff is great for your mental health.

    Other times i try to take my focus on something else.. Cleaning, doing my nails, etc... Good luck!!!

    I'm a huge fan of fruit, so I keep plums, nectarines, apples, or peaches in the fridge. Or, if I think that won't be enough, I grab a Quest bar. Strawberry Cheesecake is my flavor of the month!

    Yes. And the hard part for me is I'm in a surplus/gaining weight. So when I eat over my goal, I'm eating like...way over my maintenance already. So I'm gaining at a faster rate than I want :(

    I even pre-log my snacks and desserts. I just...keep picking at stuff. My logging has been so sloppy lately.

    This is great guys! Everything seems pretty helpful. The biggest one is probably using my mental attitude about weight loss. I just get sloppy....

    Watch an episode of my 600lb life. That usually does it for me.

    This really does wonders

    I used to do that a lot while watching tv. I mean, TV we just more enjoyable when you're chewing on something lol

    Anyways here's a few things that I do to combat that bad habit.

    1. Throw all junk food out and replace with healthy alternatives like clementines. After 1 or two, I'm no longer hungry.
    2. Drink water until your full
    3. Give yourself a time frame. I try to eat 4-7 small meals a day, every three hours, rich with protein. If it's not my time to eat, I can't eat.
    4. Stay busy. Engross yourself in something that interests you. Read a book, play a game, Stalk an ex on Facebook...you know the usual lol
    5. Google or look at pictures of your ideal body to help you resist the urges.


    Hope it helps!
