    The flip side to this is “oh, snacks are in easy reach? Time to eat”

    Also, the procrasta-snack. Where you go into the kitchen to look for food because it beats doing whatever it was you are trying to avoid.

      THIS! I came here to say something like that. I gained a bunch of weight cuz i would eat just for the flavor cuz it was stimulating. I try to watch what i eat now but sometimes i just wanna eat that extra chip cuz its too damn good.

        Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. I was absolutely hooked on softdrinks through my teenage years. Then I had a couple of really painful root canals. Scared me to the point that I simply couldn’t touch soda without thinking about it.

        Easiest thing in the world to not drink the stuff when you simply don’t have any of it in the house.
