This is such a great thread. My room-mates and I are all on what we call the "Peer-Pressure Diet." We have to write down all of our calories for the day and post them on facebook. Writing down all those calories really helps me not to eat. I don't want to report that I broke down and ate 200 calories of raw cookie dough...lol Some things that I've been doing to avoid the junk food and snacking: 1) eat crushed ice (it gives me something to eat that is zero calories) 2) eat hard candy (lasts a while and most have less than 20 cal each) 3) I also have found several foods that make good snakes that are very low : tomatoes (down south we just cut these up and eat them raw...:-) grapefruit and tangerines, pickles, fat free jello pudding (60 cal! and chocolate!!!) Well I hope those tips at least help somebody. Good luck everybody, and congrats to those who are sticking to it!!
