I think it is a great idea!

Are you Nuts? 

I think it is a great idea to prepare snacks before you get snacky.     Buy some tasty healthy snacks and when you get home, immediately portion out serving sizes. I can grab a container of nuts from the pantry and before you know it, Pat and I have devoured nearly the entire damn thing!   These raw almonds from Target were put into serving sizes as soon as I got home.  Not this time….  this time I won’t go ohhhhh my belly….   wow weeeeeee I am soooo full!  I am so damn smart. 

ok. The delicious pirate’s booty.   I don’t know about you, but I am much more likely to eat WAY to many cheesy poofs right out of the bag.  I admit I can and have consumed an entire bag in one sitting.  Sooooooooo  when I portion out the servings in some handy zip lock containers, I grab a serving.  And enjoy every morsel!

This idea is the same for fresh veggies!  I love to buy carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower.  When I get home from the grocery store, I immediately wash, cut and prepare containers of easy grab fresh veggies.  Complete with a dipping accessory….  say hummus, almond butter or lite ranch dressing!  Yummmmm!   In the last 3 weeks I did lose a few pounds.   I hope to lose a pound a week until I reach my goal!  Probably next year, but hey what ever! 

Peace, love and portion control.
