I fill a bag with the good things and have my husband bring it to work. Then I do a big shopping of healthy snacks (yogurt, string cheese, fruit, popcorn, Fiber One products). Usually I end up slowing down with the snacking with only healthy choices available, and Rob Sr. ends up finishing whatever I don't eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25316 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:35:56 +0000 Rosie Girl 25316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been drinking decaf tea lately, and that does seem to be helping! I think I should really try to snack on healthy things too, I need more willpower! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25118 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:10:34 +0000 Andrea 25118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rule is to eat when I am hungry but not when I am just bored or just feeling peckish. I like to listen to my body so if it's hungry then I feed it. So I eat something about every 2 hours and I find that prevents the really big pig outs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25115 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:05:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 25115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I agree that decaf tea helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25097 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:30:58 +0000 heffalump 25097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually my lo keeps me pretty busy so there's no time. And she's such a light sleeper I try to be extra quiet when she's napping, that keeps me from eating loud food like chips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25096 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:29:34 +0000 tejbee 25096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I feel like snacking, I do it. But I do a mental "this or that?" in choosing a healthy snack over something less nutritious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25074 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:31:14 +0000 looch 25074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same problem, largely because I wouldn't eat regular meals at consistent times. I had to make sure the only snacks were healthy ones and I had to make sure I ate breakfast and lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25068 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:25:37 +0000 Red 25068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a sweet tooth too so I make desserts a little healthier by adding ground flax seeds, pureed veggies, tofu, quinoa, nuts wherever I can and by replacing sugar with agave nectar. That way I don't feel as guilty when I do indulge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25065 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:39:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 25065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>drink decaffeinated tea! really helps suppress snacking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25063 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:31:10 +0000 cyndistar3 25063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't... I can't lol. I cannot eat a full meal at one time so I end up getting hungry often and when I get hungry I get really sick so I just graze throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25051 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:09:46 +0000 Mrs. D 25051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now if I feel the need to snack, I do, baby's hungry!</p> <p>Usually though I drank some water first and then if I was still feeling the need to snack, my stomach would already be partly full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25048 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:07:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 25048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snack all the time. I eat when I'm hungry and don't usually eat a lot at meal time. I try to make good food choices when picking out my snack, but sometimes I just can't resist a cookie or something sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25024 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:39:29 +0000 mynoahbear 25024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snack all day long too. I can't eat big meals at one sitting, even before I was pregnant but even more so now. So, i end up snacking all day. I try to snack on healthy things like vegetable sticks or fruit. BUT I love bread and pastries, which i regularly indulge in. Luckily I have a pretty high metabolism, so I've been thin my whole life despite all the carbs and sweets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25022 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:38:09 +0000 mrbee 25022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make it a rule to never ever have refined sugars. So if I snack, it's veggies or low-sugar fruit... that minimizes the damage of snacking. At least, that's the theory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-from-snacking#post-25015 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:33:20 +0000 Rosie Girl 25015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a SAHM now, and I seem to be snacking a lot since its getting colder and we aren't getting outside as much. Also, there is a lot of really good food around for the holidays, and I have a horrible sweet tooth! </p> <p>I really need to stop my snacking though. How do you keep from snacking? </p>
