When visiting my dear friend know to you as "Fat[free]Me" As well as inspiring me with delicious food and wonderful walks. She also showed me her collection of low calorie treats, that she keeps for when a sweet boost is required. All below 100 calories there were healthy snacks and bars.
Well when I can home, in fact before we left Scotland for home, my husband and I went to Tescos and stocked up on the same treats.
Now the magic of knowing you have these treats actually helps you not to eat them!!
Sounds daft I know, but it works, as long as I know those treats are there, I am not looking for goodies to eat. It is working so well, that most of the "Goodies" in the photo below are from that original shopping trip and that was over a month ago!!
It works for me, I am not snacking at all this week and it is not causing any pain at all.

LOL, I recognise those on the bottom right (yum), but what are those red ones on the bottom left? Obviously something I haven't tried!
I know, just having them "just in case" often does the trick and I eat something else instead. This has been a big turnaround for me, because in previous dieting attempts, it was a case of if it was in the house, I had to eat it.
I also have little 10g packs that I made up myself of cashew nuts/walnuts/pistachios, all under 100 cals and tend to turn to them a lot these days too.
You are doing so well - enjoy your day out today!
Yummy goodies! That's a great idea.
I am more if it's there I will eat the treats. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but they will go down my throat!
I love your 60x60 list.
Very good idea. My daughter practiced this same rule in her dorm room at school. when she came home for the summer she brought a bunch with her that she "never consumed, and I don't know if they're still good dad!" It's a pshycological thing isn't it? If it's there, we don't want it. We want what we can't have. I think that's why it's so important to make anything "allowed." It's not about the food--it's the portion size and calorie value--for me at least.
Very good idea...I'm making one for our house right away!!
My best

Fantastic idea...I'm one of those that likes to keep stuff around so I know it's there, and then I tend not to eat it near as quickly. It's when the fridge and cupboards are nearly bare that I start crawling the walls wanting to eat everything!
