I know I should be asleep. It is, afterall, almost "tomorrow"
However I have a few things to say before I retire to my bed.
and since I am staying up late lest talk about this:
The later I stay up the more I snack.
ohhh. . . the life of a snacker.
Here are a list of foods that you can eat and actually burn more calories in the consuming than you would take in during the eating.
- Celery
- Oranges
- Strawberries
- Tangerines
- Grapefruit
- Carrots
- Apricots
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Watermelon
- Cauliflower
- Apples
- Hot Chili Peppers
- Zucchini
Even as tempting as this delicious negative calorie celery looks I am pretty sure that most days by snack cravings look a little bit different. Lets be honest, I would rather be eating any of the following items:
Note: these are NOT non-calorie foods (sad, I know).
** A Snickers Candybar (or 2 or 3 really)
** Chips and salsa
** Ice Cream (of any variety)
** Grasshopper cookies (most likely the whole package)
** Cottage Cheese (I know it doesn't really fit the list of treats, but it is truly a "treat" to me. I love it every day, all day).
** Mint Chocolate Creamies
** Anything "bad" for you.
Why can't I crave celery? I even have some in my fridge.
I think I should go to sleep so I can get up and run off these ridiculous cravings!
Oh, how I love a "little treat" Now just to pick which one to eat for breakfast since I am trying a new "no snacking" after 8 rule.

I guess great minds really do think alike! A few nights ago, I put a little note on the fridge that says 'After 8? Too late!' How corny is that. But it has helped!
Oh I feel so much the same way. In fact I enjoy every item on your snacking list (the caloric one) and not only have I not ever said, OH I want a chili pepper, I don't think I've ever craved celery either. My problem is deciding which one (or two or three) to have on a given night!
