How easy old routines are to continue
I wasn't a grazer, but I do like to snack/eat in the car. At this point I either eat a snack of one oz each, cheese, meat, nuts. But sometimes I get a drive thru coffee. I get an 8 oz coffee now, but honestly, I don't enjoy coffee like I once did and it often gives me reflux, yet I keep doing it. Crazy. Right?
I am trying to put $3.50 (3.50 x 16 per month ) into my ashtray (my mini copper has an ashtray and a lighter!) And after a few months get a new purse with the money.
I love the new purse as a reward idea. Carrying a nice purse makes me happy (They don't have to be expensive) just something nice. I got a new leather one for my birthday not long ago, and I love it.

I love this idea! Well, I love ANY idea that gets me a new handbag :)
My bad habit was that the MINUTE I'd walk in to my house from wherever I'd been, I'd head straight to the kitchen and eat something. Maybe I'll modify your $3.50 in the ashtray plan and put $4 (what I'd spend on a coffee) in a jar every time I DON'T walk in the house and put something in my mouth. I'll have a new Frye bag in no time!
Snacking when I WFH used to be constant. Since I WFH 3-5 times a week this was a habit I HAD to break. Sipping water or coffee all day (except 30 minutes after eating), plus planning my mealtimes /snacks every 2 hours during the day works best for me. I have breakfast at 8, snack at 10, lunch at 12, snack at 2, then I am done work at 3. I don't always adhere completely to this schedule on non-workdays, but it definitely got rid of my mindless snacking when I was working.

Haha! Thanks. I was trying to make the W into Weight and getting things like "weight from hell." :P Clearly I should have googled!

Oh man...WFH days are the worst. I love, love not driving into the office when it is cold. But, the struggle to eat correctly is so much worse at home!!
I need to break this stall. So, not days at home until the scale moves!
