Saturday 15th May
I've been shopping and have got plenty of fruit, carrots to make carrot batons for when I'm peckish, I bought those Nairns oatcakes that were reccomended on here, I was surprised how much difference in fat, cals etc.. there were in those compared to other brand oatcakes. Also I got some low fat houmous.
I've had a better day today, not so much snacking! I can feel that little roll of fat creeping around my belly when I sit down and I don't like it......got to nip it in the bud now!

Your meals look absolutely fab and like you say you just seem to have a prob with snacks....which in themselves arent always bad...we have to live a little too, but just be mindful, if this is how you gained weight in the first place....not sure.
I have these 'biscuits' and they are quite nice, I said I wouldn't buy them again but I may be underestimating how good they are after reading this. Has anyone else tried them? Sorry the picture hasn't copied.
Tuesday, 26 January 2010 Kraft Foods is launching Belvita Breakfast - a biscuit that looks set to revolutionise the biscuit category.
Belvita Breakfast are delicious biscuits specially designed for breakfast. Made with wholegrain they are rich in cereals, contain vitamins and are a source of fibre.
An individually wrapped pack of 4 biscuits, enjoyed as part of a balanced breakfast, regularly releases carbohydrates over 4 hours to keep you going all morning.
The product has already seen huge success in Europe where it revolutionised the category, creating a whole new breakfast biscuit segment in markets such as France.
Jos McNulty, director of biscuits at Kraft Foods UK and Ireland, said: "Belvita Breakfast are delicious, crunchy biscuits specially designed for breakfast - perfect for those busy mornings".
I hadnt actually heard of them to be honest till you posted on here, but I would be too frightened to try them incase i really liked them..ahaha..and then ate too many.

I'm am really trying to keep on top of things, it's not easy though, I get peckish of an evening, like now, so it's hard not to have 'something else' to eat. To be honest I don't really know for sure if those Belvita bars are keeping me full, I don't know whether any breakfast makes me feel full but I may try some porridge for a change. I do like to snack, I have issues with that I need to sort out.
Have you tried dried chick peas? I think I have mentioned these before. I get them from the Turkish shop, so if you maybe have a Turkish shop or medittereanian shop nearby you could get them..they are like nuts almost but they are good GI and to be honest you dont need that many as they are quite dry! Helps with water as well
I have a real problem too with night times, but I have found that if I keep drinking sparkling water and I must admit I so look forward to a lovely hot cup of coffee at night and it keeps me going.
My hubby sitting snacking most of the night, with different type of nuts, prezels, etc..haha...so I know where you are coming from, but when I kept having what he had, then the weight just crept up and up and up....so, if you know it is a problem, try and have your oatcakes and humous, or lowfat cheese in the evenings just to keep you going.
It is all swings and roundabouts and I am sure you will get into your stride and find what works for you.
