Summer Snacking

What is happening to me? I am an emotional eater (DUHH, who on this site could have guessed that). This summer has led to snacking! I eat nuts, granola, frozen fruit, fresh fruit and drink unsweet tea buy the gallon (it seems). I haven't been like this since before surgery. It is nothing like it used to be, but I think it is getting out of hand. HELP ME!!! I know it is part of the pre-wedding gitters, but I shouldn't I stop eating when I have that. Instead I am becoming a compulsive snacker. I have started chewing gum to have something to do with my mouth. I am sitting at my desk right now thinking about what snacks I can have tonight. I need new focus. The thoughts of the wedding come pouring in and to drown them out, I think of food. What do naturally skinny people think of???

hang in there honey. we wouldn't be here if the habits we have had for so long didn't show their ugly heads sometimes. focus on that wedding and chomp on the gum. it'll pass. (this coming from someone who hasn't gone through it yet. but i know i will.)

Hi kelly ,I know how you feel im going through the same thing also.I've been snacking alot too.I dont drink the unsweet tea I get the tea that says sugar free but has splenda in it and it seems I also drink a gallon of it.Sometimes I think I've blown this whole surgery deal and its my fault .But all we can do is try harder maybe if we get hungry try drinking more water or something,well if you can think of anything also let me know.Take care and good luck.....

First,Congrats on the wedding.... Second, why dont you keep pre-made healthy snacks in the fridge. I have some reciepes for Protein Balls if you want them. That way you can get your protein in! Snacking is so hard. I have the munchies byself every few days and I cant stop eating, or so I thin****ep the q-smart bars at work and I have pre-diced watermelon in my fridge, both at work and home, just in case. I have know only one naturally skinny person, even though her size 4/6 self thinks she is fat. And she snacks are things that now I would no snack on. I hate people like that I hope this helps. Let me know if you would like those recipes. I will try to find them and send them to you. Hugs Julie

I would love to have your protein ball recipe. Thanks, Chell
