stop snacking

A year later…this is still something I struggle with. Not to sound R-17, but I always have to have something in my mouth. :/

Even when I eat a big meal I’m still thinking about what I’ll have for a snack later. Grazing is definitely the downfall of any attempt I make at controlling my calories. My only saving grace is that my snacks are healthy 95% of the time. Nuts, dried fish, fruit, whole grains, dairy. Calorie dense…but healthy. Ehhhh, what can you do.

I think, honestly, this is something that’ll change when I’ve address some emotional issues in my life. It’s a symptom, not a cause.

I eat quite healthfully, but it’s the snacking that kills me. I snack when I’m not hungry and it’s just added calories that I don’t need to pack on. I snack when I’m bored or lonely or anxious or sad. Etc, etc. I need to try to eat only when I’m hungry and find things to do other than eat when I’m not.
