When eating potato chips, I find it hard to stop at just one.  If you find them irresistible and that it’s difficult to stop eating until down to the last chip.  Don’t eat them straight out of the bag!  Pour your portion out into a bowl.  When you are done. You’re done.

I find this more satisfying.  Finishing off a bowl of chips sort of tricks your mind into thinking that that is all you should be having.  When eating directly out of the chip bag, your mind is wired to think that it needs to finish off the entire bag.

I also feel more sophisticated for eating out of a dish instead of a chip bag!    Bonus!
