I use one, like Glory, for things that I like too well, like pasta and measuring cups for nuts, cereal, etc. Stacy, maybe you could measure out your potion of nuts, and then pick at those? I tend just to have them on my cereal and be done for the day. And I put them away in the cupboard, because if I saw them, I'd be eating them.
I used to measure the milk I put on my cereal, but when I realized that 1/2 cup was almost too much, I stopped, and just count it as 1/2 cup. I don't weigh/measure non-starchy veggies or fruit unless it's for a recipe....
