The 5PM Snack Attack.....

The biggest thing I am struggling with in terms of weight loss at the moment is resisting the "I've just got home from work and I'm in the kitchen making tea" bingefest. Yesterday I just kept shovelling food in my gob even though I wasn't particularly hungry! Insane! One thing that is going for me however is that I have mostly mastered the "Sorting your surroundings" habit. I never buy chocolates or chips in our weekly shop, so the worst thing I can pig out on is rice thins and mixed dried fruit :)

This particular problem was the topic of a thread on the WW messageboards today, and some of the suggestions to combat this problem was to have a cup of tea or a can of diet soft drink, which I think I might have a crack at. Another idea I just remembered is to chew on some gum so its inconvenient to eat other stuff... I have heard this idea from somewhere, but I can't think where.
