Do You Snack More At Home or At Work?

When you’re on a diet, it’s hard to resist all those snack attacks that are constantly stalking you. They just seem to literally follow you anywhere you go—your home, office, the grocery store (Oh gosh), and so on.
Fortunately, I’m not a huge fan of sugary stuff, so I normally don’t buy them, well, almost never to be honest. But since my office is always full of scrumptious snacks, it’s really hard for me to completely avoid them, so I usually end up having a bag of chips or a few cookies. I think you’ll be all right as long as you have control of your snacking, but your surroundings definitely seem to play a role in the maintenance of your diet.
Do you tend to snack more at home or at work? Does it matter where you are?

Work for sure. We have people bring us food all the time. Usually other orthodontists send us thank you gifts in the form of food for referring them patients from our dentist office. So, yeah, work is definitely the place where I snack the most.

I love snacks but when I signed to do a photoshoot, I cut out all fattening snacks from my diet. So no snacks at work.

Home, I usually eat when I'm bored.

I don't really have time to eat when I work, though I do work in a grocery store.

I've found that my snacking is more associated with the kind of work that I do. Whether I am home or at work, I am at the computer alot. I tend to mindlessly (if that's a word) snack as I work.

Home, because I'm not out on the floor where we aren't allowed to be eating. We have food samples throughout the store and at first I'd snack on them but then I soon got sick of them so now I avoid them, which I think is a good thing. But then when I have time at home I snack because I love food and the different flavors that they have.

Work definitely. I walk into the shop and I am hungry, hungry, hungry. It does not help that I am surrounded by a deli and a chinese / sushi restaurant

I don't work...so I don't really snack at work. There's school, but the teachers don't allow us to eat during class. I only eat at specific times for snacks too =]

I definitely snacked more at work. The secretary brings candies to work daily..chocolates etc...good stuff..hard to ignore.

Even when I brought rice cakes as an alternative (caramel) I found I would go through a 1/2 bag in a day...which isn't good cause they're 60cals per cake....times 6 per half bag...360cals..just from snacking :(
Now...my solution is sugar free gum and water. It definitely keeps me from snacking. I've been snack free for 3weeks now while using the "gum" strategy.

at home... I used to work at tim hortons... I think working around food, makes you snack less, plus theres no time to snack.,

At home maybe..if I'm up really late working on an essay or something. Other than that...I don't really snack that often. I find myself disliking super sugary things more and more..:(
