    I do it too! There is always the hope that something sweet/salty and low cal magically appears out of thin air.

    Me too! I think my mind thinks "Ok, maybe that not-so-yummy looking thing in the back is appealing NOW."

    This is week two for me in eatin' healthy...I find it's easier to cut up veggies, carrots, green peppers or whatever veggies you like...I put them in the snack sizes baggies, and put them in the fridge...even though I know it's not chips - but it does help somewhat. Week two - I'm cravin' my salted chips and dip, and Pepsi...It's hard. But, it does help to have a pre-cut up ready 'snack' in the fridge...or almost I find 10-14 Plain unsalted Almonds does wonders to, and a glass of water...Hope this helps some...much loves..xo

    I definitely do that as well. My rational is "Maybe something will look good now!" But it never does. And I don't just go back once.... More like a million times until I finally decide to eat something!

    This is how I know I'm just bored, because if I was really hungry I would just eat whatever was there. Having said that, I do hate eating things that I don't like because I feel like I'm wasting my calories.

    Yes. Yes. I do this too. There's always the chance that my eye passed over something truly satifying the first three times I looked, and then will suddenly see it the fourth time around. (riiiiiiiight.)

    yep! Me too! this topic is actually making me laugh as I was doing this just yesterday. Constantly looking in the fridge every few minutes thinking maybe I missed something or maybe something looks better now than it did 10 mins. ago. :laugh:
    Then I start my grocery shopping looking for things that are healthy, but that will satisfy that craving. I always have a healthy stash of something salty (Kettle potato chips usually) and something sweet (sugar-free pudding or mini cups of ice cream from Skinny Cow) that will curb that craving in a hurry.
