You are right about the balanced meals. Part of the problem is that my husband leaves for work at 5:30am so I drink my morning shake with him around 5:00am. By 9-10am I have a small snack so I can eat lunch closer to when the kids do but sometimes by the time lunch rolls around, I am REALLY hungry and don't always make the healthiest choices. I'll be working on that this week! Thanks for the suggestions Ahsley! We WILL suceed at this together and with the support of all the other great BFCer's !!! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131375939575832772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361941887157881417.post-12213665396213442422012-05-14T22:44:01.951-06:002012-05-14T22:44:01.951-06:00I am with kim though, for breakfast lunch and dinn...I am with kim though, for breakfast lunch and dinner; I dont feel like you are getting all the necessary nutrients, but i wont judge! I am just saying, that balancing meals with equal proportions would be good! ? just a thought! I find this helpful to me, I used to eat small thing likes string cheese and a few almonds for lunch, or coffee and 1 bar, but that didnt work because i felt deprived from not getting a real meal! Instead, I am trying to add more good food, close to equal amonts, no more, no less on one meal.. Its helped! I odnt feel deprived, but I do have those night cravings still! So youre not alone! best of luck!ashley maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854191759182433483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361941887157881417.post-38628340457952934462012-05-14T22:40:30.972-06:002012-05-14T22:40:30.972-06:00youre not alone kim!

The chips and crackers however, yes, I do. I just need to eat them with a lunch or dinner so they are not all that I am eating - and not half an hour before dinner when I am really hungry :) I LOVE chili cheese fritos so crushing them over spinach salad is such a great idea. I'll have to try that soon!! :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131375939575832772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6361941887157881417.post-56853487184746394272012-05-14T12:04:45.649-06:002012-05-14T12:04:45.649-06:00My idea would be to allow the chips or crackers, s...My idea would be to allow the chips or crackers, so you don't feel like they are off limits and want more. It really is a weird mind game. When you know you can have them if you want them, suddenly they aren't so important anymore.<br />Do you like green olives? I found that if I really wanted some chips, it was mostly the salt, and a few green olives helped the craving. I truly did only eat the serving size and I never got the bag back out. If you can train yourself to do that, they won't be your trigger food anymore. I also find putting some chili cheese fritos on my spinach salad, makes the spinach palatable, and I still get my fritos. It only takes like 6 fritos crushed up for a salad. <br />Just some ideas. The only other suggestion that I have is that if your breakfast and lunch is blah and not satisfying to you, that could be causing your issues for dinner. You are trying to make up for all the food you didn't have during the day? <br />Our brains LOVE food!!! You will do this, I just know it!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876597084432433257noreply@blogger.com
