The flip side to this is "oh, snacks are in easy reach? Time to eat"

Also, the procrasta-snack. Where you go into the kitchen to look for food because it beats doing whatever it was you are trying to avoid.

    THIS! I came here to say something like that. I gained a bunch of weight cuz i would eat just for the flavor cuz it was stimulating. I try to watch what i eat now but sometimes i just wanna eat that extra chip cuz its too damn good.

    Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. I was absolutely hooked on softdrinks through my teenage years. Then I had a couple of really painful root canals. Scared me to the point that I simply couldn't touch soda without thinking about it.

    Easiest thing in the world to not drink the stuff when you simply don't have any of it in the house.

    It would be very cool if there was a warning sign before you got to this stage so you knew to eat. Same for drinking and chronic headaches
