discovering healthy snacks

to get the ball rolling on this weight loss thing, my first plan was to not eat between meals and just get used to being hungry, which i think worked really well. when i'm working this is especially helpful because my day is already structured and it's very easy not to eat anything besides breakfast lunch and dinner. on weekends though? no structure and a lot of time on my hands. and i need it that way! sometimes you just have to hang around the house and relax. so my original plan of only eating three meals doesn't hold up so well and there's just going to be snacking but i think this can also be okay.

it took me like, what, twenty-five years to finally make the connection between what i buy in my groceries to what i'm going to be eating? so no longer buying junk food. instead of chips, i buy popping corn and instead of making chocolate chip cookies i'm making these oat banana chocolate (https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2-ingredient-healthy-banana-bread-breakfast-cookies-with-delicious-add-ins/) ones. ya, i know there's still chocolate in them but i'm going to be giving other substitutions a try. i've been so against this sort of substitution too! like i always thought, 'if i want an oreo cookie, i'll have an oreo cookie' but there really are substitutes that will satisfy the way an oreo cookie does (i don't actually like oreos just an example). i'm going to be trying out and cooking real healthy snacks on weekends so i can enjoy laying around and eating (in moderation). next up is tofu. looks like there are some pretty great snacking possibilities there.
