I have been at my goal weight on other diets, only to regain it all plus more.uhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352448044334020347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-25157997600485727772011-02-09T19:44:29.689-05:002011-02-09T19:44:29.689-05:00If I want something salty/crunchy, I pop a 100 cal...If I want something salty/crunchy, I pop a 100 calorie bag of popcorn, spritz it with Smart Balance buttery spray, and sprinkle it with cheese powder. If I want something sweet, Fiber Plus has a fiber bar that tastes exactly like a Samoa Girl Scout cookie - and I know I can ONLY eat one because of the, um, ill effects if I have more than that. In fact, my co-workers make fun of me because of all of my "fiber snacks" (fiber bars, fiber gummies, fiber crackers) in my desk drawer - but I KNOW I won't overeat them because more than one serving can be painful...and stinky. ;-)Stephanie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17389046478307990176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-36118578536064921682011-02-09T18:49:38.954-05:002011-02-09T18:49:38.954-05:00Thank you for sharing the article.

While I have not yet been banded (less than 2 weeks) this is definitely something to think about DURING my weight loss.catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809718199005257549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-33216376314364391302011-02-09T00:05:02.246-05:002011-02-09T00:05:02.246-05:00Great idea.

I do have some NTTs. 110 calorie EAS shakes, and pistachios in the shell (takes time to eat, like Caron said).<br /><br />Of course, being my rebellious self, I always feel deprived when I HAVE to eat a totally limited selection of treats...which may, in itself, lead to a binge! In other words, if I wanted a piece of dark chocolate, but I knew I "should" eat a SF fudgsicle, chances are I would eat the fudgsicle, feel unsatisfied, and then eat the chocolate anyway! This is the whole problem I had with dieting....<br /><br />So there is one school of thought (basically "intuitive eating") that says for people like me, the best thing is to learn to eat what you really want to eat in moderation rather than always forcing yourself to eat your "virtuous" foods -- which can, in themselves, trigger a binge after feeling "deprived." <br /><br />I guess this is what I really aspire to, and often it does work. Sometimes I can have just one piece of chocolate (a trigger food), or just one handful of chips. Sometimes not. But I am getting better at the "just one" aspect of eating "trigger" foods. So its progress, even if its not perfect! I am really thrilled to "trust" myself around most foods these days.Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-12962742700412483522011-02-08T22:12:02.930-05:002011-02-08T22:12:02.930-05:00I will be checking out this blog immediately.

I like sunflower seeds in the shells because I can eat for a long time and my newest favorite treat is Greek yogurt. The Fage with cherries on the side is best but I'm happy with the plain zero fat and a bit of cinnamon. Very yum.Caronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971453836613391796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-59454639609813612072011-02-08T22:01:26.438-05:002011-02-08T22:01:26.438-05:00Great post and great blog - thanks as usual.Great post and great blog - thanks as usual.Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065650807764320970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-74836355966771492832011-02-08T21:51:11.159-05:002011-02-08T21:51:11.159-05:00I love this!

Skinny Cow and 100 calorie packs, oh geez!! ...however, I may be a dream bander in the aspect that I have gotten stuck so many times of potato chips, goldfish, etc. and even ice cream several times, that I basically don't even try to eat them anymore, but in the past they have always been a trigger food for me!<br /><br />Some of my NTTs are:<br /><br />~ Almonds (I'm really good with just eating 1 serving and I feel satisfied)<br />~ 100 calorie popcorn<br />~ Sugar free fudgsicles<br />~ Oikos pure pleasure caramel greek yogurt<br /><br />yumm :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-31891257967647619692011-02-08T21:14:51.118-05:002011-02-08T21:14:51.118-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-33151417716936883312011-02-08T19:52:29.521-05:002011-02-08T19:52:29.521-05:00100 calorie bags of popcorn with Molly McCheese. ...100 calorie bags of popcorn with Molly McCheese.
