    Video games. I HATE crumbs, oil, and fingerprints anywhere near my electronic devices, so I never snack when I play, and if the game is engaging, time just flies.

    Distraction?

    Life in general ... it's so busy there are times I forget to eat. Like this morning. I had a snack last night about 11 pm ... then didn't eat again till 1:30 pm. Just too much to do ... didn't even think of it. And I made a dash through a grocery store in that time looking for a particular laundry detergent.

    Cycling
    Running
    Photography
    Work
    University
    Homework
    Housework
    Household paperwork
    Caring for my husband

    Yoga
    Walks
    Creative writing – keeps brain and fingers busy
    Note taking – writing long hand on any subject that interests me
    Cleaning – it's not fun, but I cant think about eating when I smell that cleaner smell

    Sitting outside in the sun. It's one of the few times I don't feel the need to snack! ;)

    It sounds tongue-in-cheek, but exercise is my best distraction!

    If I go home right after work, I have some downtime before I have to cook dinner and do other chores. Working out fills that idle time where I’d be most tempted to snack!

    Thankfully I've got 2 kids so I don't have much time for being bored :D

    For me only two things completely distract me; Going out (either shopping or just sightseeing type stuff) or watching TV. Many say watching TV is a trigger for overeating, for me it's the opposite

    I am one of those who, when i settle down with the TV or a book, I feel like I need snacks. It is definitely a Pavlov's dog thing. Distracting my hands by crocheting (OK, can't do THAT and read a book at the same time) seems to keep me away from snacking. I am better with a book than TV because I have something in my hands. I am satisfied with just having some kind of beverage (including water).
