Do You Snack?

Heck, I'd go so far to say that I graze.  I make sure my choices are mostly good ones, and if I feel the emotional need to sit down with a plate and a meat and veg, then I do.  I also practice conscious eating-in that I don't eat while I read, etc.  If I open a pack of nuts, I sit and pay attention to the nuts.  I buy single serve packs so that I don't get out of hand with handfuls.  The warmer the weather gets, the more likely I will be to nibble throughout the day rather than try to sit down and eat three times.

For me-it all goes back to choices and amounts.  If chocolate bars happen too often, I'm going to gain weight.  I'm doing the gluten free thing-and that has required some soul searching and honesty-because a cookie is still a cookie even if it's gluten free-so I am redefining what is junk vs. what is food in the gluten free context.
