Need muchies help!

So, I tend to snack all day when I am home all day. With the snow predicted I don't plan to leave the house before Thursday. What do you guys do when you get the munchies because you are bored??

ice cubes.
smart popcorn.
those edy's fruit bars.
pepsi max.

greek yogurt
Weight Watchers icecream bars
popcorn

oh and now I try to drink tea or water cause I heard that a lot of time when our we think we are hungry we are actually thirsty

I am not even hungry! I just want to eat.

Kim I have the same problem.

And I tend to reach for the chocolate more times than not. But this past week, I have been eating grapes.

Kim that is one of my biggest issues.....I'm a sahm and I do that ALOT!!!! Esp. around my cycle.....I get almost like I am when I'm pregnant around that time.....super hungry all the time????LOL

Lately green grapes.... and Yoplait. But I really crave crunchy stuff and it's hard to stay away from salty crunchy!

frozen grapes!

ohhh frozen grapes that actually sounds neat!

I bake...
ok that isn't helping

Fruit is my new thing. An apple is my fav choice. Its crunchy, and take a while to eat. Plus sometimes I make myself a hot drink like a small pot of hot tea.

:giggle:

I am with Mara....water and tea. That is where I start when I get the bored munches. I might even grab a diet coke if it is sweets I feel like grabbing.

Lately, I am trying to instill in my family that no junk food belongs in my house. Munchies are hard to fulfill when there is nothing exciting to eat.

That's my downfall. I really need to purge my pantry and just restock it with healthy options.

Hmmmm I've gotten some great ideas from this post......I usually go for something really unhealthy and then grip about my weight, lol

have you tried those Veggie fries...they are really yummy

I usually eat carrot stickes. They are crunchy and yummy and healthy. I also eat cucumber. Sometimes I will make a garden salad in the morning and snack on that throughout the day.

But I think it is easier here now to snack on salads because it is hot so I don't feel like eating anthing heavy. When it's cold chocolate is yummier.

Yeah, Liz. All of us "Up Over" are enjoying a particularly cold winter, so I think we're craving fattening food. It definitely is easier to snack less and eat more salad in the summer or when it's warmer outside! Send us some "Down Under" sunshine, please!
