Anyone else snacking more than usual? 🙋🏻♀️
I’m normally home most days and don’t usually snack mindlessly, but with my kids home, I find myself snacking when they do.
It’s easy to take a bite or two of whatever I’m making them. Before I’ve even realized what I’m doing, I’ve downed a handful of goldfish.
Here are a few tips that have helped me keep snacking in check:
1️⃣ Record what you eat and when. This will help you notice any patterns and decide what needs to change. Maybe you’re not eating enough. Or maybe you’re stressed and find your self coping with food. Or perhaps, like me, you’re feeding your kids snacks.
2️⃣ Follow an eating schedule that includes all of your meals and snacks. It doesn’t have to be rigid. A meal time routine is meant to set a boundary for when it’s time to eat and when it’s not.
3️⃣ If you’re hungry outside of your scheduled meal times, try drinking water or another non-calorie drink. If you’re still hungry, then eat and log it.
Do you have any tips for cutting out mindless snacking?
