I've decided that I really snack too much, especially at work. Can you guys give me some ideas for things I can do instead of snacking to get my mind off of the fact that I am hungry and really want a snack (or maybe I'm just bored)?

Like, I can take a walk to the copier but that is only about 10 steps away from my desk.

Start smoking cigarettes.

Yeah, cigs or drink more water. My coworker who stopped smoking fake smokes on a straw all day long. So if you're already ready to quit before starting, maybe do that.

Yeah cause sunflower seeds are totally not a snack.

It's protein and it's not a bad snack. I do it all the time after dinner, while watching the Royals.

unless you're chomping down bags a day, it's a better alternative than pints of blue bell.
