Loosing for xmas

[Madonna68]

I have managed to loose 4lbs over the last 2 weeks so really focused on not snacking when I am tired and keeping busy!

Well done! The snacking unconsciously is something I am very guilty of, and keeping occupied certainly helps. This forum is good at distracting me I find and trying to do things like puzzles or learning a language online or a craft helps. Keep at it x

well done. Snacking is my downfall. Hoping to control it this week.

It's always worth checking, when snacks creep in, whether your meals are filling enough. Think of snacks as eating between meals (which is what they are) and see what adjustments you could make to your meals e.g. more protein and/or healthy fats

Very good advice.

Think it’s habit, boredom maybe with me as it’s nearly always in the evenings.

Yes, that's the other possibility. If you're sure it's not about hunger, then you can start looking at habits and what changes you can make there

I went volunteering at a girl guiding group tonight! I met loads of new people and it kept me occupied and I haven't had time to think about food! I used to always go to the gym or swimming when I felt hungry before or bored but I have moved to a new area and the gyms and pools shut at 8pm so I am stuck 🙃 for a new habit!
