    Is it possible that you can't stop snacking because you are under eating? What are your stats? (Cal goal, ht/wt/age/activity, typical exercise burns).

    I usually are at 1200 cals I am 202 lbs for 5'5" 25 going to the gym 5 times a week at the job I answer the phone so no exercises

    If you have your rate of loss set for 2 lbs/week, consider lowering it. Just going to 1.5 lbs/week will give you an extra 250 cals a day. :) That will give you a sizable snack in the evening!

    Also, stop and ask yourself if you are eating something because you are hungry, or if you are just bored. Self-awareness and self-control are muscles that need to be exercised as well :)

    This may sound silly, but I bought adult coloring books. They're relaxing, distracting and fun. I can kill an hour easy with them.
