Ah yes, snacking. Steel cut oats is a good suggestion.
Try carrots. If you don't want to wash or peel a carrot , get a bag of "baby" carrots. If you turn orange you are snaking on too many carrots.
Maybe rice cakes? It's crunchy but not a lot of carbs.
Cutting out the soda was a great step. If water is not your thing, make green tea or black coffee.
Eating out of boredom is a behavioral pattern that could be changed. You can ask yourself when you're reaching for a snack if you are eating out of boredom or out of hunger. (And then, if it turns out to be hunger, you can think about whether or not that hunger needs to be addressed or not.)
You could channel the inner geek in you and journal all your food consumption at fitday.com for example. That can be helpful at bringing consciousness into your eating habits. When a day's eating is in front of you on the screen, it gives you an opportunity to think about changes you can make.
