Lol Lemon, thats a good way to go about it mrgreen if theres nothing nice to snack on then I dont want to snack. Unfortunately, no one else in my family is dieting so there are always nice, fatty, unhealthy snacks calling out to me.
Ive tried eating nuts, but like you said Lenady they do pack a lot of calories. Veggies could work though! Celery and low fat peanut butter, or just plain celery are easily done, would satisfy the crunch factor, and aren't so nice that I would want to eat heaps of them
Ive been trying to distract myself, i like to sew so ive been doing lots of that, but im at home for a lot of the day at the moment so i can only do that for a certain amount of time before i get bored again >.< next week im back at uni though so hopefully i will be busier and it will get easier
What are triscuits and sunchips? Are they like veggie chips? I try to avoid gum because i have a thing about avoiding chemicals and preservatives etc and i always imagine gum to be full of stuff like that >.<

Every week at the grocery store, I buy myself seven oranges, seven apples, and five bananas (for weekdays). Then I buy my SO about half that, because my SO buys fruit at the cafeteria at work, and doesn't need any at home. I eat one piece of fruit every morning when I wake up, and another piece of fruit about halfway between breakfast and lunch, then another piece right around 3pm (or wait until I get home from work, and eat it before starting to cook dinner).
I also buy Carrot Chips. They're just fresh carrots, crinkle-cut into thin rounds. I guess I could also buy carrots and cut them myself, but why bother? I don't want to spend the time, and they cost just the same. Whenever I get the munchies, I resort to carrots.
These two things take care of the crunchy-craving, and also the sweet-craving. They also are filled with fiber, which cleans out the intestinal tract (ahem, makes you poop), which in turn makes you weigh less. The intestines can get gucked up with digested food that it can't get rid of, but fiber scrubs it out on the way down. If your diet wasn't very fiber-rich, and then you start eating fruits and carrots and celery, you could lose up to 20 extra pounds in two months' time, just because the fiber cleans you out!
