    Air popped popcorn is good. You can eat a ton of it for not very many calories, and there are a lot of different toppings you can put on it to get the salty or sweet that you want. Congrats on your huge weight loss!!

    Stop buying them and then you won't need to eat them.

    We had sweet potato chips the other day. Not the same as those nice & salty potato chips but not a bad substitute. I also count out a serving and put them on a napkin and put the bag away so I don't just blindly eat the entire thing.

    special K cracker chips. they come in about 5 flavors I think. You get 27 chips per serving at about 120 calories a serving. 27 chips covers most of a paper plate. I like the sour cream and onion flavor or the southwest ranch if you like a little zip. although you must like spicy way more than me cuz I don't like jalepeno anything. yikes, i don't like my mouth on fire. but the southwest ranch is a little bit zippy. you could try it. they are very tasty chips. also, rold gold makes cheddar cheese flavored pretzels that are yummy. you get 20 pretzels per serving and the calories are similar to the special k chips. those are two of my go-to snacks. also smartfood white cheddar 100 calorie packs. the bag looks small but it'll cover a paper plate when you empty the contents out. for 100 calories you can't beat that. lays baked chips aren't quite as good with calories or serving size but I eat them at subway sometimes. good luck!

    You can make oven chips or Sweet potato chips again in the oven. Still does not beat them fresh from the chip shop with loads of salt and vinegar though.

    Walmart sells these things called "Chip-ins"..it's like a popcorn and chip hybrid. They come in a few different flavors, and they're only 120 cals.

    Pop Chips, Mini Rice Cakes, Pretzels, Fat Free Pringles.

    Tostitos used to have a fat free tortilla chip (not sure if they have them any more) that were made with Olean. Low cal and fat, but who knows what Olean will do to you...LOL I guess I'll see in about 20 years...

    Kale chips!

    Break up kale into bite-size pieces and put in a big bowl. Drizzle a little EVOO, salt, pepper, and whatever else. I usually do low sodium lawry's seasoning and red pepper flakes for a little kick. Shake up the bowl to coat all the kale. Spread onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10-15min til crispy. AMAZING. Definitely does the trick.

    I love pop chips and pita chips. I have just started making my own potato chips in the oven or microwave and kale chips. I was doubtful of the kale chips, but they are actually pretty good.

    I don't. I count out a serving size or TWO in a bowl and that's what I eat. My husband thinks I'm nuts at times but hey gotta measure it out!!!

    I eat sweet peppers. The small ones that come in red, yellow and orange. Not to be confused with bell peppers, although, that would work for me too. I love the crunch and they totally satisfy me as a sandwich side.

    Replace them with will power. Seriously, you're not going to win this game in the long run if you can't exercise control over your desire to eat.

    Stacy's Baked Pita chips. Or you can make your own chips by buying low-cal flour (or corn) tortillas, slicing them up, and baking them.
