BOREDOM/SNACKY EATERS - tips for stopping?

[lunavix]

Have realised my biggest fault with putting weight on is snacking throughout the day. When I'm busy I'm fine, but I tend not to eat at meal times as the kids keep me busy then I snack all afternoon.

In the evenings I tend to snack a lot, due to boredom (but that's another thread!)

Tips for stopping? Gum? I've tried replacing food with diet pepsi but I know it's not good for me!

If I knew the answer to the, Lunavix, I would have the figure on Angelina Jolie!

don't have any fattening snacky things in the house! I went shopping to tescos and didn't buy any biscuits or crisps - boo hoo - so now have no snacks to have!
try listening to the Paul McKenna CD round about teatime for inspiration.

Oh me too but i too have stopped buying all the junk, that way dd doesn't get it , it doesn't go in dh lunch box. But i did try tick tacs god got bad wind!!! but i dring juice (as water bores me and too much make me feel like i am drowning!)

don't buy anything you know you will enjoy!!!! If you have a sweet tooth, try medjool dates (so yummy like fudge) or cherries. If its savoury stuff, get those puffed rice things. I think they are worse than disgusting but I have lots of friends who nibble constantly on them in the war against flab!
