subject: A Simple Trick To Help You Keep Yourself From Snacking [print this page] When you're all alone in your house, it's easy to wander into the fridge or the cupboard and grab a snack. After all, no one's looking right? The only problem is that you're cheating yourself, not someone else! So it's up to you to be proactive and set up little reminders to keep yourself from snacking on junk food. This trick is sure to help.
Go to your local office supply store and grab some of those small, round stickers. Now stick them around your house in all the places where you keep your unhealthy snacks.
Stick one on that shelf in the fridge, and another on those shelves in your pantry that you have a hard time staying away from. Wander around your kitchen (maybe even your bedroom) and think of all the places where you have junk food stashed and put a sticker there.
But don't overuse them! If they cover your house you're likely to ignore them, which is not the goal.
Now whenever you go to grab a snack you'll see your stickers. When you see them think of your desire to lose weight, and if it's worth that small snack, or if there's a healthier alternative you could choose instead.
Many of use have bad habits of wandering into the kitchen and grabbing some sort of food that's very unhealthy just because we feel like snacking, even though we're not hungry. These stickers will help you think twice and evaluate what you're doing.
Eventually you'll notice that you start to change your underlying habits of snacking, and you won't even need the stickers anymore!
