    I have that same issue... I notice that when I am busy or in the company of someone else, I don't do it as often. My problem is eating out of boredom or loneliness. It is fulfilling at the moment but I feel like crap after I eat it. I too need to overcome that problem.

    Try water....flavored if need be with lemon or honey or Mio--whatever. I prefer Mio, because the flavor satisfies my craving for "sweet" without any added ANYTHING. It fills you up, it's good for you and I have found my cravings have dropped drastically

    I know that I snack in the evenings while watching tv, so I set aside 150-200 calories and eat lightly salted popcorn. Works for me.
