    What about changing what you call your snacks..

    If it's nutritous, it's a snack (fruit, protein, veggies, etc). If it's something that tastes good, but isn't "healthy" it's a treat. Snacks throughout the day are fine. But if I think of it as a treat, I have an easier time leaving it alone (unless it's a special occasion).

    Ok, seriously...I need to know how to stop snacking! (Especially at work, when I'm BORED, and at night after my son goes to bed!) Anyone have any tips???
    If your work is boring you, either approach your boss and ask for more responsibility or additional tasks or change your job. That might sound drastic, but nobody deserves to be bored at work.

    At home, are you eating things like carrot sticks as a snack? If so it's not a problem, far from it. If you're talking about high sugar / high fat foods, simply don't have them in the house. You might say that you need them for your son, but if they're not good for you they're not good for him either - if he whines, tough. Do you want him to have to go through a diet when he gets to your age?

    I drink skim milk. Milk has always filled me up while water makes me more hungry. Add some Ovaltine for the vitamens and I'm good!

    Helpful tips would be great! Sitting at a desk all day BORED leading to munching :( Craving the chocolate and salty crunchy stuff just seems to happen more often than wanting a carrot or celery!

    For me out of sight out of mind. If I bring it to work I will eat it. And keep your food in a drawer or area you don't go to often.

    I eat small meals and snack. I dont snack on high calorie or high carb foods though. It works for me and that way if I am hungry I can eat something. I also use portion control. I only eat one serving of whatever it is I am eating. At night when I do not want to eat anymore I brush my teeth.

    Frozen pineapple is the bomb - you eat way less when its frozen. You can also put it in the food processor and you have an instant sorbet.
