TIP OF THE DAY: Avoid unhealthy snacking. Here's a list of healthy snacks that are low in fat content, but still high in satisfaction (and I'm not talking about carrots and celery!):
~Pretzels (low sodium)
~Graham crackers
~Low fat crackers - (watch the salt content)
~Low fat cookies
~Popcorn without butter (try butter flavored salt)
~Cup of fruit with non-fat cool whip on top or a spoonful of honey.
~Stick of sugar-free chewing gum
~Licorice
~Cup of raw veggies with non-fat salad dressing for dip
I was so proud of myself today. I woke up at about 8:30am and went to the mall and did 2 laps!! That is about 1 mile.
last month we ordered girl scout cookies and they came in today. Just great, they came in just a week after I start my diet!! I figured out the points and for 2 dose dos they are 3 points, and for 2 samoas they are 4 points. This is going to be hard to have my favorate cookies in the house and not get them very often! So you may see them on my menu in the near future...
Today Scott and I wanted that wonderful doughnut that I was talking about the other day. I was debating back and forth about getting it because although I REALLY want it I know how bad it is for me. Little fact, a doughnut takes 3 to 4 days to digest in your body! WOW and EWW!!! So we were in the car on the way to the store and we were talking about how bad it is for us and why do all the things that taste good are always so bad for you? That, I will never know! So then I finally said, "NO, I am not getting that doughnut, but we can still go for you hun and I'll just have to wait in the car because it will be to tempting...again" And Scott, being wonderful said,"No I don't want to go and eat the doughnut in front of you, so lets just go home!" After telling him that I really did not mind going so he can get his doughnut, I turned the car around and heading back home!! Now here is a question for everyone, although the doughnut is only 5 points and I have those points, does anyone have any suggestions for eliminating this"craving?"

OK so when I did weight watchers my leader always told us that if you keep craving something like a donut it might be wise to give in but make sure you do it sensibly. obviously don't give in all the time, but she suggested I use it as like a reward. I stick to my points for the week, get my water in and my exercise and then if I still want it i can have it. I personally don't like donuts but you can also try other low cal snacks or desserts. I sometimes found that if I made a dessert special it was more satisfying then just buying that donut at the store. I often liked to get low fat pudding (in the box that you have to make) then right next to them at jewel they have gram cracker crusts, add a little cool whip and you got a nifty pudding dessert. It is a little high on points so sometimes I just did the homemade pudding and cool whip. I didn't feel awful for eating it b/c the pudding had milk in it and gramcrakers aren't too bad. again check the fat, cal or other nutritional info to get the best one. You can also search for low fat/cal desserts on the internet and see what comes up.
