OK,

Here goes. I think the thing that is holding me back the most is eating at my desk. No a meal, I mean snacking while working.

I need to break that habit and maybe being accountable here will help if anyone else wants to join in and try to work on breaking some habits that are holding us back?

:crying:

Mine is those stupid bottled Frappacino's and a snickers while I'm out running errands. If I go to either the grocery store or a gas station, I mindlessly grab that. I'm trying to make sure I take the spouse with me to stop me, but she can't always be there.

lol BgBp, why does there have to be such good food out there?

Those Dunkin lattes are my downfall and the ice coffee, but I resisted today and made my own ice coffee with fat free half & half and tiny bit of Hershey syrup!

Even when thin (if I get there), I know this is something that I know I have to deal with every day, though some days better than others. :glare:

To those wanting to eat everything in site when they get home, I would suggest eating a protein bar on the way home...Getting that protein in will give you some energy and a senes of fullness...so when you do get home your not eating the refrigerator

Rmann,

Thanks for reminding me about the protien bars. Sometimes I forget about those. They do help.

Something I like also is a caramel rice cake with Peanut Butter. They are really yummy. You would think that would choke me, but it does not. lol.

:tt2:

I have protein bars at my desk, so I don't feel guilty for an afternoon snack (and the chocolate chip granola ones feel like candy), but for me its...EATING IN THE CAR! Cheese-its (they seem to be popular to all in this thread) or those Ritz toasted crackers like sour cream/onion or cheddar...and sitting at my computer at home...the m&m jar is next to it...so I try hard to just have 2-3, but sometimes it's 2-3 handfulls... meals I'm ok with, and do a protein drink in the afternoon.

NfL1,

Isn't it true about the meals, I have nooo problem whatsoever now with eating healthy meals, it's the darn snack monster!

I have said goodbye to those high carolie subs, pizza, etc. but the sweets still call out to me. :grouphug:
