Constant snacking.
I was very active and very in shape up until three years ago. I started eating junk food and constantly drinking soda. It has gotten to the point where I will actually go up town more than once a day to buy soda and chips. My stomach has become quite round and my rear end gotten huge as have my thighs. I was wondering what I could do to stop drinking soda and eating junk food. I don't need any help with exercise, I just need to know how to stop the constant snacking. Thanks in advance!

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
think of it this way: would you rather treat yourself to a bag of chips and soda everyday and only feel good when you are enjoying the junk food, (which only lasts for a few minutes),AND be unhealthy or would you rather feel good about yourself all day long, every day, and lead a healthy lifestyle? would you really sacrifice your dignity and a healthy lifestyle, just so you can have 2 minutes of satisfaction? my advice would be to eat healthy on a regular daily basis and you can do this by buying a healthier snack every day instead of the junk food and soda. ONE SIMPLE DECISION every day will make you healthier and happier. and then, you can enjoy those chips and soda in moderation, or once in a while so you don't have to sacrifice your healthy living just to be able to eat junk.
i hope i helped!:)

I did that all the time a couple years ago. I lost so much weight since then. I weigh like 20 lbs less than than I did before.
Like every one else said, snack healthier.
You just need to make it into a habit. Which will probably take about a month if you keep up with it every day.
The only time I have a problem with snacking is when I'm watching tv. Although, I wouldn't really call it a problem because I hardly watch tv. But when I do, I always eat.
So number one, find healthier snacks. Number 2, find things to do so you're not bored enough to snack.
Good luck!

Snacking is usually an act of boredom, rather than an act of hunger. When you want to reach for a snack, I suggest you drink a glass of water. The reason for this, is because the human mind is not very clever in differentiating between hunger and thirst. If you still want a snack, reach for fruit. An apple is good, and they come in loads of different varieties.
And try to distract yourself. Exercise, watch TV, read a book, meet a friend, go for a walk.
If you have to snack, reach for healthy snacks. Veggie sticks with hummus, fruit, baked chips, sugar free and low calorie soda.
But in short, snacking is usually an act of boredom. Just try to keep yourself busy, and however hard it is, resist temptation.
Good luck!

Try to snack on different, healthier things. I know how you feel! I did the same things. Try eating peanut butter, that helps with cravings.
