You can't eat it if it's not there!

Some of the best advice I've gotten was from my doctor when I first started this journey to a healthy new me. He said to purge my house of any food that would not be "good" for me, especially those foods that I tended to eat when bored or frustrated or needing comfort.

I can't tell you how many times I've be thankful for that advice! When I'm on the hunt in the evenings, prowling for something to snack on while watching TV, I go through the cabinets and fridge and only find healthy foods. Oh, I can still overeat on the good stuff but I tend not to. Mainly because the food I have around is high in fiber and water and therefore very filling with few calories. I always have a huge bowl of fruit on my counter and try to have sf, ff jello or pudding in the fridge. When I feel the need to crunch I have a couple pretzel rods with fruit or some light tortilla chips with LOADS of salsa. (The fruit and vegs help lower out the calorie-density of the snack.)

The holidays are almost over. Is it time to clean out your kitchen?

Hope this helps...... -Trish (25 lbs down since mid Nov)
