    I share the same habits, but what I have been doing lately to break that bad habit is reading with a glass of water in my hand and that seems to work for me, good luck!:smile:

    I know what you mean. I feel like I eat all day because I have a boring desk job and obviously, I eat when I'm bored! I'm okay in the morning, but when I have lunch, I don't feel like I can stop, and end up eating most of the afternoon while sitting at my desk. *Sigh* I wish I could help you, but I'll be keeping up with this post to see what kind of advice you get! I need it!

    Drink lots of water... instead of munching, sip! Or, a glass of crushed ice is nice, because you get the crunch effect, then.
    I drink LOTS of water throughout the day, and it keeps me satisfied and I don't get the munchies.
