[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone suggesting healthy snacks appears to be missing the point which is to indulge in the freedom to actually have treats![/b]

OP, I have found it helpful to take the treat-oriented indulge mindset and try to redirect it to something not candy/overeating related.  So when I’m tempted by cookies at the grocery stores, I instead look up recipes for fancy salads and indulge on expensive or unusual produce.  Or I let myself pay for an insanely overpriced naked smoothie (small) instead of buying a gallon of soda.  Or instead of buying myself a whole pizza I order a fancy slice from some local artisanal pizzeria.  That and I avoid one off checkout candy bars and spontaneous delivery because the wasted money makes me twitch.[/quote] +1 Plus the OP never asked for healthy snack suggestions.  The point of hte OP has gone over their head.

OP, I grew up with plenty of food/snacks available to me at all times.   I was always a healthy weight until I got to my mid-30s.  I began overeating at mealtime, and eating when I was not even hungry.  For me, it's emotional eating. It's a real struggle and I think about it every single day.[/quote]
