I can see how that would get really frustrating....
I've found, as have others, that modifying eating habits can go a long way. aitkendrum and I don't keep potato chips or boxes of cookies around the house, for instance, because we'd only eat them, so not having them means less likelihood of eating them out of boredom. I can have a slice of quiche if I want, but I can't eat a whole quiche and drink a carton of OJ and call that lunch, and if I have quiche for lunch then I can't have Indian curry for dinner.
Something that happened recently was that I got a hand mixer for Xmas (I requested it), and keeping yogurt and bananas and fruit juice in the house means I tend to make smoothies a few times a week, which is GREAT for getting my five-a-day requirement. But then, I love smoothies and hate paying for them; if you don't it wouldn't work!
