Strategies to fight the "little nibble" moments?

Yesterday I closed the opened bag -after telling myself I 'deserve' a bite...instead made a sparkling water with one Tbl of black currant syrup -(super antioxidant, low sugar), grated ginger, squeeze of lime, Mmmm. How do you make the decision to NOT consume a treat and what do you replace it with to stay on track? A little 'cheating' is necessary but it must be kept to a minimum when the goal is to lose. I have only had 3 pieces of bread since I started tracking on MFP. Breads are my ultimate challenge so I literally had to go cold turkey on those and replace with whole grains - millet, buckwheat, quinoa, whole grain rices, tabbouleh salads, etc. I want to take this unhealthy fat off without farting around - fast! I look forward to the shift and hard work of maintaining - cause I am never going back. I need this group to help me get there - with you - together friends

I think what you did was a good strategy. You replaced what you were opening with something with less calories and healthier.0

It was easy....that time, I need to be consistent.0

I need to keep busy. When I get bored I start grazing.0

I try to go do nasty chores when i get the munchies. I clean the trash cans. Or clean my boys bathroom. No more appetite.0

I want to nibble when I get tired or stressed. I think I need to meditate, take a nap, or go for a walk instead. Cleaning might help me too though.

I replaced my bread with 45 calorie (per slice) bread. Really helps me.0 -
Nibble on grapes! I've actually stopped nibbling all together, trust me I used to. Now, I allow myself snacking at night only, grapes, snow peas, popcorn. Otherwise, I don't snack in between my meals and now I'm so used to it. I know some experts say to eat every 3 hours but for me I found it very difficult to plan. Some people say it is better to actually get a bit hungry between meals. Good luck, thank you for joining this group we all share a common goal - that is getting to goal!!!!0

I sit and floss my teeth in the evening. Sometimes for 30 minutes. Lol. I hate to ruin all that work by eating.0

I love the tag line. Every time I ate it I'd feel like I was having something delightful. Oh, Sara Lee, you should really come to Canada.0
