I try to avoid snacking. I figure if I'm hungry, I should be eating something worth eating. If I'm just wanting to eat for the sake of eating, then I see that as old habits that got me in trouble in the first place. For example, yesterday I popped a Pop Secret popcorn mini bag, only 100 calories. I ate the bag all by myself and then at my lunch right after! I was shocked to find that I was even more hungry after snacking! I won't be doing that again!

I try to eat 4 meals a day, and never eat after 7 if I can help it. My first meal is only Cereal (Fiber One w/ skim milk) so it doesn't last very long, but my other meals keep me satisfied for four hours.

Oh, and a word of caution.. Be careful of the sodium in string cheese. Our daily intake shouldn't exceed 2,400 mg per day. Very bad on blood pressure and makes the scales think you are fatter than you are! heh

Lately I have been on a pistachio and almond kick. I cant eat very many though or they start feeling too heavy. For about a month I was on a dill pickle kick. I dont have much of a sweet tooth, but I love the sugar-free Reeses mini Peanut Butter cups when I get the urge for something sweet.

Them sf reeses give me the worst case of gas i have ever had in my life. Funny one time a friend of mine played a prank of this cousin of hers that was seriously very refined, huh, wel she offered her a few of them, needless to say a week or so later we asked her about how she felt after eating the, and she wanted to kill us, she did laugh though. She was gassed to. Sorry this was a dumb post.

ok kids,

this is what i had tonite.

i lost a bet at work (long story). In the end, i had to bake something, so tonite i baked 60 chocolate cup cakes, with Peanut Butter frosting, and crushed milk chocolate.

Now mind you i tried a bite of one of the ones my brother was eating, and thats all i had. but it still does not change the fact that i wanted to stick my face in one of them. hehe

what can i say, 90lbs lighter and do and most likely always will, cook like a fat person..lol

I just got a sample pack of quaker "Quakes Rice snack" , I am not much of a snacker but these are really good. I have tried the cool ranch kind and the cheddar cheese. Very light and yummy with a crunch. 9 of them are 70 calories (I would not eat more than 9 at a sitting tho). Mainly my Snacks consist of cottage cheese or string cheese or yogurt.

I like to snack on Asian Rice Crackers - the bbq and cheese flavors are yummy - 18 (count em) 18 crackers are only 120 calories, but I can usually only eat 5 or 6 at a time. So it is a good low calorie snack that satisfy's the crunchy sensation I sometimes crave.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
