Just in time!

And here is where I apply the lessons that I am learning!

I found myself falling into my usual stressed-out habit: eating candy while on deadline!

But I caught myself just in time!

Today I ate a small box of nerds and a small packet of conversation hearts ... found in an evil candy bowl at school. Then, when I got home, I opened a box of hot tamales and ate 4 pieces before I stopped myself.

I sat down at the calorie counter and entered in each of the sins: 140 empty calories!

So, I raided the refrigerator and pulled out every snack food I could find and made myself a snack tray of celery, red pepper, apple slices and oranges.



I looked things up and my tray is a total of 200 calories. While only 20 hot tamales is 150 calories! Look at the difference in satisfaction! Not to mention vitamins and such. Phew. Good thing I caught myself in time!



Plus, doesn't this just look tasty????
