I don't know what's gotten into me lately, but I can-NOT stop snacking. Handful of trail mix here, some granola there, perhaps a few crackers with peanut butter or a tempting brownie that just doesn't taste the same without a little ice cream on top. Geez, it's like I must eat everything in sight ... and that bag of chips! Why not throw in the kitchen sink while you're at it?!
Okay, it hasn't gotten that bad...not yet. I've been trying to writing down everything I eat. I heard that keeping a food journal is supposed to control the urge to binge. Let me tell ya, it can be somewhat depressing to write down every ounce of food consumed in one day. But, it really makes you think about what you're eating - where did this come from, what does it taste like, what the heck is it made of, what is the nutritional value, why am I eating this and am I really THAT hungry. Hopefully, you're not asking yourself these questions every time you open your mouth - cause that's just not healthy. My point here is that it's important to be conscience of what you're eating and when.
So, to my snack attacks...you win this round. But, I'll be ready to fight back next week.
