Your water additive, very processed yogurts, snack bars and lots of candy--none of these are homemade. Not that this is inherently wrong, but it doesn't match the story you are telling yourself about how you eat.
Has it been hot where you are recently? If you are getting around 8 cups of water a day, that might not be enough in the heat.
Can I just ask you to point out the candy ?? As I don't eat that and this week I've been having very small square if chocolate at 9g each I had 1 biscuit a couple of mornings but I haven't had much
The snack bars are slimming world bars high in fibre so better than normal cereal bars
I can't find the ingredients and this is making me crazy. Maybe it's because I'm in the US. Would you please find a link to a page with ingredients and post it?

I have also found that eating more small meals during the day helps. I try to keep each meal at 200-250 calories. By the time I am hungry again, 2 hours have passed.0

It started off this morning I was so hungry I took rashers of bacon to work I skipped my fruit as had bacon. Maybe it was a one off but it looks like I might have to lower my rate to loss to a 1lb. I hate grazing like today does anybody have tips to stop it
If it was just an issue today, don't stress about it and start over tomorrow. Some days we're just hungrier than others. If it's an ongoing issue, then yes, listen to others and evaluate your food choices and amounts to ensure you're getting enough satiation.0 -
When I prepare meals or clean up after, I sometimes find myself grazing. To combat that, I chew gum at these times. It helps!0

Thanks everyone today hasn't been as bad actually ! I'm going to have eggs tomoz for breakfast see if that helps0

I have had a few days like this, nothing seemed to fill me up. I kept myself busy and sucked down water left and right. It is hard but you can get through it.0

I had that same kind of day a couple of days ago and wanted to eat EVERYTHING!! LOL Seriously I couldn't eat enough food plus I craved sweets. To combat that craving I'm munching on fruit, greek yogurt and just bought beef jerky to keep at my desk at work (which is when the cravings are the worst).0

Drink a glass of warm water
And grazing isn't something you really need to stop, just make healthy, low calorie choices. If you make smart choices you can snack all day and still hit your goal. 0 -
Graze on carrots, sliced apples, celery, and other fresh veggies. Sauté them, eat them raw, or with fat free dressing. You will love them more and more.0

Put obstacles in your way like; 'Okay, I'll grab a snack but first I need to drink 3 glasses of water'. The water will fill you up, hydrate you, rev you metabolism, and help you feel full which will help curb the snacking. Other obstacles would be you have to walk a mile on lunch first, etc. You can also sub the bacon for veggies like green peppers which will leave you feeling fuller longer and help with your fiber intake.
