So recently my work bought a bunch of "healthy" snack foods to give out for client appreciation and St Patricks day. Well all I can say is they are addicting...and I decided to buy some to keep at home. BIG MISTAKE. I'm the type of person that can't keep many snacks at home, especially things like this b/c I will eat too many of them! I want to try them all, UGH!
Also I believe the 100 calorie packs are just deceiving. Yes they are portion controlled and convenient, but are they really healthy? They actually offer very little nutritional value and are still loaded with sugar, flour and other not so good ingredients (when eaten in abundance). Before my big mistake of partaking in the recent purchase of portion control packs, I had been eating fruits, veggies, nuts and an occasional string cheese for snacks and I have to tell you I felt MUCH better then. On top of that I wasn't near as tempted to overeat. So I'm going to have my hubby take all the snack packs we have left at home to his work and get them out of my sight! LOL
So you may be asking yourself what got me so worked up about this, huh? Well as embarrassing as it is I will tell you. I bought the snack packs on Wednesday and it is now Friday. I have had 3 packages each day. Yes 3. I don't think that's what your supposed to do lol. Well I got home from work today and my Friday night plans had been canceled so I was a little bummed...so I decided to eat. Yes I'm an emotional eater. 3 snack packs later (b/c that's the only thing sweet we had in the house) I was felling pretty miserable. I sat on the couch reading a weight-loss book and thinking oh what have I done. I finally talked myself into going to the gym...FINALLY a good decision! 600 calories burned later I feel better, but still pretty ridiculous of my recent snack choices.
So basically the moral of the story is choose your snacks wisely! :)
