Dill pickles

So thankful for dill pickle spears as a snack today! Wanted to eat all day today for some reason.  Might regret the extra salt,  but worth a little water weight. When you have maxed out your daily calories,  what are your options? 

You may be craving salts. Pickles are great. 

Celery is a good addition also.  Raw Cucumber, or cucumber "salad" ..cucumber+ little bit of chopped colorful peppers + dill, salt pepper and some apple cider vinegar.. (pepper to add color and different texture) 

cucumber "salad" sounds good.

Hi Brandigirl and BOTTS

Any low starch veggies...I didn't get here on veggies.  I make dill dip by adding dried dill to plain Greek yogurt....high calcium and protein...no fat or sugar.  Also a tbsp. of salsa to plain Greek yogurt is spicy and good for a dip.  

Sugar free Popsicles and Jello.  I make Jello with a little Greek yogurt in it because it seems more filling for just a few extra calories.

Sometimes I drink a glass of water and clean something for 10 minutes and the hunger subsides.

On a bad day I cheat.  I have gone to the store for a small bag of chips.  480 calories and I feel badly about myself.  I don't do it often because it sets me back.  It is important to forgive myself and move for a little penance.  

I hope your day went well.  Tri

GREAT idea's Tri! I have been looking for a good dip for chicken and bunless burgers for years and recently found a really good one! It is a greek yogurt with ranch dressing powder. Only 45 calories and next to no sugar or carbs! Wish I would have found it years ago, but glad I at least found it now :) 

I try my hardest to have set meal times for the most part to prevent myself from grazing. But on my days off I find it much harder to stick too. I really hate it when I want to eat, but no that I am truly NOT "hungry" just want to eat or crave tasting food! 

One of my main "cheats" is an extra coffee during the day. I start each morning with one (with creamer) and honestly look forward to it the night before. On days I need something flavorful I will have another cup (again with creamer). It's extra calories but some times perks me up, warms me up and it's a better choice than a lot of other things I could reach for.

Fighting the fight each day :)
