of eating is really working. And I was thinking - I started eating more after I quit smoking. So getting over food is really the tail end of my quitting smoking, 4 years ago.

1. If I think of having a snack but I'm not really hungry

it helps to remember that it will still be there later, or tomorrow... putting it off sometimes turns into not eating it at all.
Also, sometimes a bite or small piece satisfies, and the rest goes into a little plastic container for the next time I want a bite.

I'm happy for you that you quit smoking and are also eating in a more conscious way.

4. I'm doing the same thing you are, trying to lose the weight gained when I quit smoking.

I quit 4 years ago as well. I try not to have snacks in the house, I love potato chips, but if I do have a snack I measure it into a bowl so I don't eat the whole bag. I'm glad your diet is working.
