If you know what BBAM is then you know it is filled with totally unhealthy junk food eating choices. If you don't know what BBAM is, think of it as appreciation for all you do at work. Basically one month of the year where I work we get treated by the company and managers (which I am one this year...wooohooo go me!) to all sorts of nummies and treats, and not food treats.

Well, in the past year I got promoted to manager but had to move to another location. Well, my current location is getting a remodel during September (the month of BBAM) and I'm going back to my old stomping grounds. I've lost almost 20 lbs since I left, and want to keep it up the month of September. As a manager we bring goodies in each weekend.

So, I'm taking suggestions from whoever wants to give them to me on some healthy nummy goodies, treats, snacks that I can take in. I won't be the only one who is trying to be health conscious there. One manager is Diabetic, one is borderline, and 3 other of the girls are getting ready for weddings next year (one of them it is her wedding)....So I want to set the example...what can I take that ya'll think everyone might enjoy but won't shoot me in the foot for eating or them as well....

ps the average age of our employees/family at this location is 20-22, a couple younger (18) and a few of us older....3 guys and the rest of us girls 15 or so I think?
Thanks again :bigsmile:

    I went to a family party a few weeks ago and was determined not to screw up my progress for one day.. I ended up bringing in two low fat dips, one was spinach and artichoke make with low fat cream cheese and the other was a buffalo chicken dip. I brought carrot and celery sticks and some pretzels to dip and surprisingly, they were tasty and even the non-dieters liked them. There are tons and tons of low fat dessert recipes that you can find on the internet as well. There's also low fat cheese and crackers with some fruit or even a store bought angel food cake with some strawberries and FF Cool Whip.


    One of the things that I've finally figured out is that it's all about making substitutions that are satisfying. Good Luck and keep moving forward!!
