I work from home as a cust service rep and now I must find a way to get away from snacking from being bored I ate a few peanuts and now I'm mad with myself I wish I wouldn't have ate them does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Water, water, water. Keep drinking it. IF you are full from water you won't snack. (well, it helps me at least)

Thanks for the advice will try it!!

I wanna work from home!

It's great but it's still WORK!

I hear ya! I only have a 4 minute drive to work... and yet I'd STILL rather work from home! lol...

Now that my office is "going paperless" I'm hoping to talk them into letting me work from home a few days a week.

This works for me: sugar-free hard candy. I love life savers and Brach's butterscotch. There is just something about having that in my mouth that takes away the hungry.

Thanks will try tht as well tried gum but it seems to mke me hungry

Where I work, I sit at a desk all day and find myself snacking when bored. To which at home I do not. Its weird, anyways usually I keep cheeses in the fridge at work and also some crackers to go with. This helps me ease that snacking behavior and then I drink a lot of Water. Problem with my office they LOVE their animal crackers, Peanut Butter filled crackers, and candy. I have fallen victim many times to snacking on the "free" food here. It's hard, I get it. I wouldn't get too mad at yourself days like this happen. I snacked on some pickles and cheese a few minutes ago to get rid of that snacking craving I had. I eat pickles on occasion because I reduced salt in my diet. To which I hate a lot of salt on food now.Anyways, Good luck and don't get too frustrated.

Thanks

ugh. me too. I am a night time snacker..... I am hopeful those hunger feelings wont come back. good ideas above!

I will put a sugar free mint in my mouth...has the same effect as just brushing your teeth. Everything tastes yucky after you do that! This trick I learned when I was dieting and I would bake for the holidays...I would put a sugar free cough drop in my mouth. Again, you wont want to eat or even taste anything for a while....yuck.

Good luck!

Thanks

I also work from home as a technical support advisor now for last 5 years and have same issue with snacking, that's when I starting putting on all this weight!

Can you give me your email address just would like to discuss your work@home and compare with mine thx!

I was going to suggest getting a job where you have to go in! I know it's much nicer to work from home, but that's a disadvantage to me. I used to think I wanted to work from home, but I'm starting to think otherwise for that very reason - too much access to food. I've even started to think I'm never going to retire....I'm not sure that I could maintain my weight if I was home more. I find that I struggle every evening and all weekend, and days I do work from home.

I'd say try to set up a different routine, keep the junk out of the house, and drink a lot of Water.
