what is your weight loss weakness

i have such a hard time stopping eating once i've started...

i am great all day. eat a few small "meals" throughout the day at work. egg whites, a banana, a special K protein bar, a pear, maybe a few almonds...

and then i get home and have dinner and i want to keeeeep eating

i know its about will power. by the time i eat, its 8pm (after the baby is fed, bathed and asleep, bottles cleaned, kitchen cleaned, food for daycare prepared, laundry in etc)... all i want to do is keep eating. i've learned to just say no and walk away, distract myself with something else.

how do I fight that urge to just pop something else in my mouth? WHY do I do that? out of bordem? im not bored.. there are a million things i could be/am doing?

I could have written this myself!
I'm a SAHM and have to avoid the kitchen as much as possible!
The weather lately has put me in a "rut".
I just wanna sit on the couch and eat..Anything!!!! UuuggH

Sometimes, what I do is open up a bottle of water and that helps!
Also, Extra came out with the "Dessert Delights" gum..The Mint Chocolate is awesome!!!! I find myself popping a piece of gum here and there and it does help!

Re: what is your weight loss weakness

I'm the same way. Today for example I've been working at home for the past 2 hours. I'm not bored but I keep getting up to get food and start snacking.

Maybe try mints or gum? Leave the house? Don't have the bad stuff around? (Although I dont have bad stuff around but I'm overeating all the low point foods!)

Keep steamed veggies at hand and just keep eating that. Also keep fruit around like apples, pears - handy fruit that you can just nosh on. These are all 0 points.
