Many people who try to lose weight do well all day long avoiding food that is less than optimal for weight loss.  Are you one of those people who can eat sensible food choices all day long while at work yet when you come home you just have to keep those fingers busy feeding your face?  Do you spend your nights sitting in front of the TV and all too often you get up for a snack that is something you regret the next morning when you get on the scale?  I used to be the same way and one day I realized that losing weight is sort of similar to trying to stop yourself from smoking.  I have learned that I am a victim of my own habits and because I feel the urge to keep my jaws chomping I was becoming more and more obese. 

I have learned that I can go through the entire day and eat at healthy places like Subway or limit my food choices even at places like McDonalds.  I have learned to realize that my one biggest downfall was the fact that when I am home I am always raiding the cabinets looking for a snack.  There were many nights I would burn through more calories snacking than I ate all day long.  Once I made the equation in my head that I was a trying to break a habit I approached the situation with a whole new outlook.  I decided that the best way  to break the habit was not to break it at all.  I realized that the best thing for me to do was to merely alter the habit. 

Instead of depriving myself of snacking I now keep so much fruit in my home that you would think I was running a fruit stand.  At first I was hesitant about the change but now I eat bananas and strawberries and grapes and blueberries and oranges and whatever else I can get my hands wrapped around.  I have settled for the best of both worlds because I can eat pretty much as much as I want and the health benefits outweigh the few calories I am ingesting.  No matter what anyone says, eating a bowl of fresh mixed fruit is better than a bag of pretzels and a soda.  I love to sprinkle Splenda on my strawberries and the explosion of flavor from a cantaloupe is amazing. 

If you are looking for a great snack then go get some fresh fruit and feast away.  It may take a bit more effort but the rewards will be not a only thinner you but also a healthier you by the mere fact that you will be eating healthier food choices.
