Snacking is my downfall

I read somewhere that to save money, you should buy full sized products and divide them into single serving sizes. I bought snack baggies and counted out 22 almonds per baggy. That's when I realized, I could eat 600+ calories of almonds as an afternoon snack! No wonder I'm having trouble getting rid of the 7 pounds I've put on in the last year. I divided my crackers, too. I haven't eaten any of them yet because I don't want to eat 120 calories. If they had been loose in the box, I probably would have nibbled 2 servings without even noticing. So, I'll see if this increased awareness has a positive impact on my belly. I can't believe how small an ounce of nuts is!

  1. I just bought a bag of almonds thinking I could healthfully snack on them instead of chips or something worse. I just ate a fourth of a serving in one bite. At least almonds have some nutritional value as opposed to crackers or chips.

  2. I have switched from nuts to Endemane (or something)- little green soy thingies as snack food. \i have eaten veggies in \london but also lots of butter and bread.
