OK, now we've had a laugh, what can we do that is practical.
When you go for a snack, always have a large glass of water first. And I mean water, not squash or a fizzy drink - even if it is artificial sweeteners.
Snack on better stuff - carrots not crisps, beetroot not buns, oatcakes not hobnobs.
Don't get bored - read a book. Books are good, because they give your hands something to do.
Sounds harsh, but if you snack when bored and are serious about losing weight, stop, or snack on something healthy.
*and just merged this with your other thread in food and drink, best to keep all the advice in one place :thumb:
