Nibbling while preparing meals
I have realised since counting calories and being a part of this wonderful group that the main reason that I have put on weight is that I nibble all day and just have been kidding myself by saying "this little bit of cheese (or whatever) won't hurt". So anyway I have been stopping myself from nibbling and I have to say…
