So to avoid all the high carb snacks at the table I bring my own food. Which consists of cubed cheese, sliced turkey, cherry tomatoes , red peppers and cucumber slices.As a treat sometimes it depends on how my numbers are doing I do bring snack food. I purchase the packages of the 100 calories snacks and cookies and I bring one as a treat. I do sometimes eat popcorn but I personally find air popped popcorn to be tasteless. Because there is no oil on it salt and flavoring won't stick. When I make it I use peanut oil and sprinkles a little salt and different herbs on it.I don't drink soda so I make ice tea sweetened with stevia. Or since I like water I just drink a ton of that.The big trick for me was to train myself not to mindlessly eat. Which is why I don't eat in front of the TV or at the movies. At gaming I used to find myself grazing all through the game even if I wasn't hungry. At first I had to force myself to only grab a healthy snack at the top of the hour. Now I do it naturally and often I bring home food.I also ask that unhealthy food be kept out of arms reach for me.</blockquote>
