pjpanda 129 Posted September 30, 2014 Water, water, water. Keep drinking it. IF you are full from water you won't snack. (well, it helps me at least) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txdogmom 30 Posted September 30, 2014 This works for me: sugar-free hard candy. I love life savers and Brach's butterscotch. There is just something about having that in my mouth that takes away the hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayleeC14 159 Posted September 30, 2014 Where I work, I sit at a desk all day and find myself snacking when bored. To which at home I do not. Its weird, anyways usually I keep cheeses in the fridge at work and also some crackers to go with. This helps me ease that snacking behavior and then I drink a lot of Water. Problem with my office they LOVE their animal crackers, Peanut Butter filled crackers, and candy. I have fallen victim many times to snacking on the "free" food here. It's hard, I get it. I wouldn't get too mad at yourself days like this happen. I snacked on some pickles and cheese a few minutes ago to get rid of that snacking craving I had. I eat pickles on occasion because I reduced salt in my diet. To which I hate a lot of salt on food now.Anyways, Good luck and don't get too frustrated.

Rovobay 920 Posted September 30, 2014 ugh. me too. I am a night time snacker..... I am hopeful those hunger feelings wont come back. good ideas above! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophie'sChoice 269 Posted September 30, 2014 I will put a sugar free mint in my mouth...has the same effect as just brushing your teeth. Everything tastes yucky after you do that! This trick I learned when I was dieting and I would bake for the holidays...I would put a sugar free cough drop in my mouth. Again, you wont want to eat or even taste anything for a while....yuck. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
