I've had this issue all my life. I rarely allow myself to get hungry before snacking or eating a meal. I'm just starting to become conscious of this so I'm going to make the commitment to pay REALLY close attention for the next two weeks - hopefully to break this bad habit. Anyone else have a problem with this and want to join me for support?

Unfortunately, I am a grazer so I am not often really hungry. When I get really hungry though, my blood sugars bottom out and it isn't pretty. Good luck! It's a great thing to be doing.

I have this issue too. I eat out of boredom - knowing I am not even hungry! Such a hard habit to break, but I am trying!! Made it through today so far...

When I am at work I never have a problem with snacking but when I get home all bets are off! One thing I read was that people eat chips out of boredom so when I look in the pantry at home and zero in on the chips, I remind myself that that means I'm bored and I try to go do something else. Since I started doing this, my house has never been cleaner!!

I can't remember the last time chips were in my house.

I'm starting to think it's because I need a hobby, lol! I am trying to spend more time away from my kitchen...it dosen't help when your kitchen and living room open up to each other!!
