Lately I have been eating like its my job. I don’t know what’s wrong with me (and no, I’m not pregnant jerks). Normally I’m very mindful of my food intake, but as of late I couldn’t give two shits. So what I’m thinking is…..if you can’t bet ’em, join ’em. What I mean by this is I’m still going to stuff my mouth when I’m hungry, I’m just going to do it with really yummy healthy snacks. And before you call me a liar and give me a Tyra Banks head swivel and finger snap because there is no such thing as “really yummy healthy snacks” just hold on. You might just be surprised. Oh, and did I mention that they are all 100 calories. Your welcome.

Aren’t those options amazing? There’s a little something in there for anything that your craving. I for one am going to stop crying into this bowl of jelly beans and start right away.
This is going to be perfect if our summer ever actually arrives! I’m never really hungry for meals and kinda just feel snacky all the time when the temperature heats up. It’ll help me stay out of the jelly beans too… cause jelly beans and hot weather = colourful sweaty mess. Hahaha
I hear ya. I love some fresh fruit and vegetables but there are days that I’m craving something different. And then I get stumped…… And get pizza.
