in Introduce Yourself
I'm having trouble sticking to my calorie goal. Has anyone found that making their diary viewable helps with that? I need friends to comment on my snacking???

    I snacked my way up to 210 pounds. So I think that makes me an expert when it comes to snacking. So now I'm in the market for healthy, so that means ice cream and cookies have got to go that's ok because apples and oranges taste good too.

    I have dried apricots and dried apples on hand to munch on. I measure my allotment first so I don't snack mindlessly. Fresh fruit is best, but the dried stuff doesn't go bad as fast and is always handy. Baked apples are a wonderful desert as well.

    I've found that packing healthy snacks ahead of time means I don't over-snack when I'm after something to nibble on.

    The best way to do this is plan ahead. I plan for each day, and try to eat small meals often to keep my blood sugar level. This is the best way for me to commit. Keeping low fat foods, like cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt helps me as well. I have boiled eggs handy and low salt vegetable juice. Low fat mayo and salad dressings are essential. Then I use high fiber carbs like hi fiber whole grain bread, 4 bean salad, acorn squash.

    Great suggestions. I found that I still need to keep a diary because I can overeat healthy food too! I eat cottage cheese for my afternoon snack & a hard boiled egg every morning. Sounds like Great minds think alike!
