Fruit, nuts are good. I had good success by shopping for snacks in the "100 calorie package" section. The 100 calorie popcorn packages are especially good at filling you up and giving you something to exercise that hand-to-mouth ritual.dukesean wrote:Maybe you could get in the habit of "not-as-bad" snacks? or even better yet, snacking on fruit? It takes some intentional changes, but it'll be worth it, I promise.UpTheIrons wrote:You and me both. I don't get up at 2am, but I have a BAAAD habit of snacking way too much just before bed.Spanky wrote:I think my main problem is midnight snacks.
I lost 65 pounds a couple of years ago. When people ask me which diet I used, I always reply - "the Dave's don't eat so much danged food diet", or something like that. I gained about 20 pounds back and now I'm working on the exercise. I always knew exercise was good for you, but the more I read about it, and the more I observe the non-weight related effects (more energy, cheerier disposition, etc), the more convinced I become that this is my next life-style change. I signed up for Krav Maga this week, I've had two classes and its been fantastic - can't wait for the Saturday class. It was easier to overcome my reluctance to spend the time and money by selecting an exercise path that was a two-fer - exercise and self defense skills.
