It is probably no surprise to you to know you are not alone, I take no pride in saying that I am the world champion food game diet sabotage player. As such, although I like your table top bin tactic. I do also laugh in the face of it and titter at the washing up liquid ploy. There is no bin location, packet, deep freeze, hour of the day, or deepest mouldiest bin depth to which I have not stooped or been thwarted by in the past in order to satisfy my need to nibble. In the bad old days. I am still very much a work in progress and it's a tough task but I have learned that the relatively small distance between plate and bin may not be the real issue and shortening it by a metre or so, not the solution. The only sure fire system that's available 24 hours a day 7 days a week for resistance and back up to your plan is in your marvellous mind. A gadget that never runs out of batteries, breaks or is busy doing other things. Always available, always there, always on [ this is fact !] Do not underestimate yourself and the power within yourself to set your mind to a plan and stick to it. Take charge of your mind , it is yours all yours and you are the Queen of it, decide what you[YOU] want, why you want it and how it will make you feel to have it and stick to it. If it is at this point you hear some "buts" coming in, stop them in their tracks, cut them off.[ challenge the facts or truths of the "buts" they are usually false] ie if someone offered you wads of cash to not nibble, could you do it ?, gun to the head could you do it ?, yes, so it is possible ,it's just your choice and a decision about what you want and why you want it.So make sure you know why you want it and believe that it will be worth it. You deserve to have what you want. The decision has been made, you have good reasons for it, it is your choice, what you want and you are going to make it happen. HOORAH !Talk to yourself in specific positives not negatives, negatives can confuse the brain. So say what you are going to do, and why, what it will help you achieve. Go to a fancy kitchen shop and get yourself a lovely bin if you want, or go to a knicker shop and get a pretty pair of knickers to love yourself in. It's not in the bin it's in the brain......Hope this is helpful .
