Fill up on your P foods: meats, fish, eggs, beans, etc.
Make your meals more filling and you may be less likely to pick?

I know it's annoying, and I do it often enough myself. But I've been drinking water in place of wanting to snack and eating fruit too.
I've also been trying to find something to do to stop the boredom, because that's half the reason I overeat/eat high synned things. Colouring is a good one, or reading a decent book.

You could also try making a Syns box. Pick up some of your favourite things and write the syn value on them all so you know what you're picking at.

One reason women overeat is that they don't hit their food craving right on the head — they keep bingeing until they're finally satisfied.

Ask yourself what you really want: Salty? Sweet? Smooth? Crunchy? Food cravings can be broken down into four categories. If you are craving sweet and crunchy, try a mini bag of popcorn mixed with a little bit of artificial sweetener or even sugar.

If you want sweet and creamy, opt for a light vanilla yogurt. If you're thinking about something salty and smooth, try a couple of pieces of low-fat string cheese; if you really want salty and crunchy, try a handful of dry-roasted nuts or soy nuts. Hope this helps.
