Help needed on GRAZING.

Today and the rest of this week and month, I am going to really work on not eating for 3 to 4 hours.  I ate breakfast at 9, so nothing in mouth other than water until noon minimum and 1 the latest. 

I have to stop the grazing.  So that will be my next project.  To stop grazing.  I know this is sabotaging me, so I have to get it under control ASAP.  I am not aiming for perfection but I need to manage this better.  

What have you done to stop grazing if you have had this issue?  Any tips and suggestions welcomed.  Thanks again for your continued support.

I struggle with this as well. I am trying to increase my liquids that way I have to wait due to the 30/30 rule and hopefully I can get my mind off of grazing. I am also trying to keep busy with activities that  I cant do at the same time as eating.

Grazer here checking in ...
What I have learned to do Molly is to make sure the foods I am grazing on are good for me .
Example : Instead of a potatoe chip ... I reach for Sugar Snap Peas ..
Instead of something out of the machine at work ... I always take with me a pack of pepperoni and cheese sticks . Something easy to carry and something I will enjoy .
Lastly ... I always have something to drink in my hand ,. Water is the best cure for the munchies ... or having that something to drink...it does not always have to be water , it can be Chrstal Lite ... or a Juice with low sugar .

Our bodies still have that sense to graze .. we are animals ... and that is what we do . But be armed .. be ready for when it hits .. have healthy snacks around ,,

I hope this has helped you ,

Fellow struggler here too. For me it happens esp. in the evening. I try to reach for cut up veggies, drink more. Brush my teeth. Go for a walk. Call a friend.
It is hard and I think for me it will be a struggle forever.

I agree Anne, we will struggle with this forever.  Thanks for ideas.  I have tried the brushing of the teeth too and evenings are bad for me too.
