Last night at our meeting, Kris asked us to think about what works for us and what doesn't. I know pizza and cookies don't work so well for me. I can still have them at times, but only when I am in the right frame of mind (otherwise I'll stuff myself with them till they're all gone). So what does work for me?
*diet Barq's root beer with fat-free half and half (this is my substitute for a sugar and fat laden root beer float)
*cottage cheese and light key lime yogurt (a substitute for one of my favorite jell-o salads)
*Dove dark chocolate (only 1 pointsplus a piece; these are so smooth, they melt in your mouth almost like milk chocolate, and the dark kind has a stronger flavor so you are more satisfied with just one or two pieces)
*natural peanut butter (no sugar added) with a banana or apple (to help sweeten it); this gives me some healthy fats, a fruit, and satisfies my cravings for peanut butter in a healthy way
*Temptations (by jell-o) lemon meringue pie; only 100 calories a cup (3 pointsplus)
*Ice Cubes peppermint gum; they are little gum cubes with a sugary coating and tiny balls of mint making it a fun and tasty gum to chew
*Nut Clusters from Costco (another way to get some healthy fats and protein to help keep me satisfied; and since they're slightly sweet as well as salty with a nice hard-candy kind of crunch, I feel like I'm eating candy)
*sugar-free vanilla pudding (jell-o, in the refrigerated section)
*frozen fruit smoothies made with sugar-free fruits, light vanilla greek yogurt, and a little bit of Sun Crystals (a really easy way to get all the fruits you need in a day in a super thick and creamy drink)
