So embarassing but I will eat a whole box of fruit roll ups or even better, fruit by the foot.. So, don't buy them.

| I like fruit snacks. The kids say, "You ate them all?! AGAIN!" |
sometimes stuff that isn't good for you doesn't taste as good when you know that. I had to give up gluten and dairy. Then once (to be able to do a more conclusive test) I could eat them again for two weeks. I happily went to eat all my favorite pastries etc. But somehow knowing that they would make me not feel good, it just wasn't the same, and I didn't enjoy them anymore. Try to focus on creating a love of all sorts of other foods. Don't focus on the "substitute" foods, because they will never be as good, and more importantly, they are all about what you can't have. But he might love other things. (a lunch burrito? Hummus and cucumber?) |
They sell those Nutella snack packs in Target for $1.50. Nirvana. |
| They have those Nutella cookie stick packs at Walmart. Saw them there recently. |

I am so relieved to see this thread. I thought everyone on DCUM was of the steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, Greek yogurt for lunch and salmon with streamed broccoli for dinner and no snacks camp.
While I should lose some pounds, I'm happy to say that I don't think I've eaten a whole bag or box of some snack food in one sitting, but I am glad those Wheatable crackers are getting harder to find because I can easily make my way halfway through a box during less than half an hour of mindless TV. I don't even buy the Ben and Jerry's pints any more because those are all too easy to down in one sitting. I make myself scoop out ice cream into a bowl from the larger containers. |

After halloween we had an huge, unopened, expensive a$$ bag of miniature snickers, twix, and m&m's left over that we planned to return to the store.
But returning them would have been too much like right. I hid the bag from my family and ate every piece in less than two weeks. I was eating 4 or 5 of them at a time, multiple times a day. All I can say is that I'm glad all of it's gone now. I don't buy Chips Ahoy for that exact reason. |
| Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds with Sea Salt. I rarely buy them but we had some friends over this weekend. I ate at least 20 of those puppies yesterday. Sigh. |
| Whenever I hear "them" say how terrible sugar is, I get very defensive and angry. How could it be true when I long for it so? This thread sets my heart a flutter! Sugar, sugar, sugar! |
we have the same taste. |

Sugar is the gift of a wise and loving God to his grateful children. |
| Today is day 1 of shark week and I am working my way through a sleeve of Ritz crackers. I think they might actually be better than cookies. |
| BTW, don't vomit OP. Been there, done that. You just end up with reactive hypoglycemia -- you are starving and end up eating a whole lot more. |
| Always wondered how the obese get that way even though they appear to have normal eating habits when out in public or at work |
