so.....i still haven't had my hunger come back and i am more than okay with that. i have a new relationship with food. instead of living to eat, i am eating to live. i sometimes forget to eat and i really don't care. tonight though...i am due to get my period in two days, so my tummy is growling like crazy and quite frankly, protein is not making it stop......but a breadstick with peanut butter and some sugar free jelly is more up my alley tonight for a snack. i have these small moments when i feel like a failure, but i remind myself, that nobody is perfect and my pouch isn't going to stretch from a breadstick and 10 fat free pringles. i have been so good. how do you guys handle the period munchies? any ideas for healthier snacks? i actually did make some protein balls.....peanut butter, dry oatmeal, splenda, and vanilla protein powder mixed together and rolled into small balls.

Ugh, mine came the day after surgery, so besides everything else... Those peanut butter protien balls sound yummy!!  I am all about the salt during TOM, and peanut butter does it!

I seem to go through phases myself. But I have had laughing cow cheese or natural peanut butter with unsalted pretzelsor celery. Job Lot sells choc. covered soy nuts and all sorts of soy chips! woohooo Sometimes ill pop a little popcorn in a tbsp of olive oil..just for crunchie munchies! Any suggestions are always a plus. I just do the best I can and try not to be around any bad junk foods.
