to ask how you stop yourself from eating when you're not actually hungry?

[flutteryleaves]

There have been a couple of threads lately about what to eat if you are trying to lose weight or what you eat if you are slim which have been amazingly helpful for me as i've totally fallen off the wagon.

i'm not overweight, im 5 ft 9 and a size12 i really do have a problem with boredom eating or eating while watching tv or while driving to work/commuting etc and my weight is creeping up. being a apple with no bust, my limbs are staying nice but its all collecting on my stomach and flanks!

so, apart from not buying it in the first place (its not a deterrent, i just go to the shop or vending machine), what are you tips for what do you do to avoid/prevent mindless eating of a whole share size bag of minstrels, haribo, bag of donuts etc?

thank you!

Sleep 😴 can’t eat anything when yous snoozin 👍

Drink water
If you're hungry have a hard boiled egg, no sugar fruit compote, veg sticks, homemade veg soup. Or have a brew.
Best thing is, simply do not buy it. Period.

Quench your thirst.

Quite often thirst is mistaken for hunger; if you're not hungry you need some water!

Also don't buy it.

Mug of tea - Pukka teabags are lovely, loads of different varieties, and sometimes that's all you need. Otherwise, get busy with something. It's just replacing the snacking habit with the not-snacking habit, that's all.

Ice poles ( the kind you get and freeze yourself). Lots of them.

They really are great and they’re usually 15-60 cals each
