How about creating a distraction from food, something to keep you busy which will not allow snacking whilst you're doing whatever it is. For example I enjoy sewing and quilting, if I'm busy with that I don't get tempted to snack in fact I don't even think about snacking because I'm too focussed on something else. I find sitting infront of the TV is a killer, all I want to do then is snack - think it's boredom more than anything else.0

I have the same problem, those used to be my binging hours. Now I conquer those hours by having my supper by 8 and not allowing myself anything after that time. I find I'm able to say no to all food, rather than have a little of something, which always makes me want more. If I do get a craving or get hungry I'll have a cup of tea to keep me going til the morning.0

I have exactly the same problem :frown: so I do the same things like some other members already said I try to distract myself with browsing internet in such place in the house so I cant be bother to get up and go to kitchen to look for snacks and have glass of water beside me so if i start thinking about food I sip the water and my treat is "milky" tea I save some milk from my daily allowance, approx. 60ml and add it to a really strong cup of tea and if i have cravings for something sweet then add 1-2 tablets (how do you call them???) of sweetener. It's like cheating on my own cravings, isn't it:laugh:
Also, as I love sweets, I found Weight Watchers caramel or raspberry mallows wafers great solutions, only 55 cal per sandwich, well they are full of sugar but no fat
Hope this helps :flowerforyou:0
