    I do bring only my portion for my snacks, it's just I am obviously bringing the wrong kind of snacks. I will take the advice of those who mentioned bringing healthier snacks. I will also consider upping the calories per day & see if that helps. Somehow in my head I can't grasp the whole upping them & being able to lose anything. I will keep y'all posted.

    In regards to the individual that posted that we can simply stop snacking, that it's simply a choice that we make. Well, obviously we didn't all get to an unhealthy weight because we "chose" to. Yes, we did eat the food and we didn't push away from the table when we could have, or some may have problems with their weight due to medical reasons. An addiction to food is just like an addition to alchohol or any other things people get addicted to. In reality an addiction to food is one of the worst, because we must eat to live. It's stopping & reminding ourselves that we must eat to live, NOT live to eat.

    I simply asked if anyone else was having this "snacking problem" if you are not, then great but do not sit there & post such an ignorant comment you know nothing about. Oh but wait, you are on a board for weight loss help, so does this mean that you also didn't simply "choose" to not overeat or walk away from your weakness. Think twice before making such a harsh comment, please. People are on this message board to help encourage one another, not to get brow beat by someone who thinks they are a know it all.

    Do you pre-log your snacks? lunch? breakfast? dinner? Try doing that so you know how much wiggle room you have. I have a drawer full of snacks and lunches but I prelog my day when I get to work so I know what I can or can't fit into my day and then I know I don't have to worry about not having enough left for dinner

    That is a brilliant idea! I usually log as I go and since I pack my own lunches/snacks for the day, that helps me to know what I'm eating... but logging it all at once makes total sense!

    More water and volumetric foods through your meals will help keep you full as well.

    How may ounces of water a day do any of y'all typically get in during the day? I seem to bloat when I drink too much & sit too long.
