BUT I have a drawer in my desk with my own stash of lower fat stuff (ok so there is still peanut butter, but I am still bitter about having to wait three more months!) and protein bars, almonds.
I can totally understand that urge to nibble though, especially with what you have going on at home. I am living with my mom and stepdad right now - I moved back to Florida to help them and start over after my company went out of business, so it was mutually beneficial. I am looking for a condo right now, but she wants me to stay there. She just got out of the hospital with pneumonia and had a terrible reaction to one of the meds. It made her delusional and combative and they had to restrain her, so she is extremely scared and paranoid right now. It is hard on her AND my stepdad and me. I feel guilty about getting my own place again, but I feel like I am choking when I am at home. So what do I turn to for comfort? Food of course! I have been so much better, and I take walks out on the property and am hooked on slot machine game apps on my ipad, but still.....sometimes food is the only thing. So please don't beat yourself up - you have nibbled - you lost weight at the time of year NOBODY loses weight - and you are doing great. I agree - although I don't do it for myself, you have to take time and put yourself as a priority. I am just now trying to get back to that myself. It is hard, but you (and I) deserve it!
