    Another vote for knitting! It's hard to snack when your hands are in motion. :)

    I drink water. I try to keep mints close by. Something about peppermint is soothing.

    SoulRose, I use unsweetend Almond milk, so with the added "no calorie" stuff, it ends up tasting like Vanilla almond milk... Just less calories.

    I noticed this weekend that my trigger for snacking comes during the t.v. commercials.

    So I found a seek a word puzzle book and did those during the commercials instead... worked like a charm!

    I think I will stroll down to the dollar store and get some different ones to do so I don't get bored.

    Hm! I've noticed (when not-on-a-diet!!) that there are some activities where I can't eat during them, and after a long stint I realize I haven't had anything to eat for hours.

    * Painting (honestly, you canNOT eat while painting!)
    * Drawing (don't want to get cheeto dust on your work of art!!)
    * sexy stuff (hehh)
    * playing guitar

    Basically anything really fun that makes you use your hands. Even video games are hard to snack while playing.
