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 could lose 2 lbs a week easy if I just stopped snacking and instead drank water when I wanted a snack.

Thats what I did when I was in Japan but once I got back to America I just lost all will power.

I need to stop letting the people around me affect me.

who cares.

I can snack if it’s healthy (not cake.)

this goal can go away.

I had carrot cake.
oops. counts as a snack, definitely.

well my goal is to not snack for a whole week. tomorrow will have to be my start date.
I CAN!! :D

but the day is long… :p

For me snacking is pure habit, nothing else! Sometimes I do it because I am bored, mostly I do it when watching tv, just so that I have something to do while watching. It has to stop! The plan is to start chewing gum, and making myself more aware of the habit.

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.

i never really have time to snack anymore, but snacking is god!! I’m missing out. i’m going back to it if i ever get time!

Today will be the last day that I snack mindlessly.

i think i accomplished this goal. i only snack now when i am absolutely hungry. hopefully i can keep it up.
