I know what you mean. For me, gum can help, but not always. I like frozen grapes. One cup is 100 calories and takes a while to eat. I save lots of calories for the evening precisely because of this issue. Try making some air popped popcorn. Another route is to simply keep your hands busy. Painting a picture or your nails, coloring books (yeah, sounds childish but is surprisingly relaxing), crochet/knit, organizing your photos or closet, scrapbooking, dance around, suck on a lollipop, sugar free popsicles (they have ones that are only 15 calories each), go for a walk, use kinnect if you have it to dance around, you get the picture. The idea is to keep busy so that you don't just focus on putting food in your mouth. Have you tried a cup of hot tea? Sometimes that helps people too.
