ORIENTATION obbbviously.. ;)

anyone know good looking ELON boys, send them my way.. OOPS, kidding....but not really

OKAY .. help.

i have this problem where i feel hungry ALL THE TIME.

my nutritionist says i'm at an extremely stable weight, (i went above and beyond my discharge weight from the hospital) i'm eating great, i'm exercising moderately (well, i've always been this active) but i'm ALWAYS hungry. she says it could be a mental thing and i could be telling myself i'm hungry., i need to get my mind off of it and try to do something else instead of **PICKING** because that IS my downfall...

a grape here, a graham cracker there.. a BUNCH of unpictured things.. squirts of whipped cream.. ya know ;)

anyway.. i was wondering if ANYONE has a similar problem!? and if so what do you do?! drink water? chew gum? get out of the kitchen???

OR i need healthy, smart, FILLING, snack ideas!

HIT ME WITH YA BEST SHOT!

k. thanks., love

so wait, food.

BFAST:

my love of a luna bar with a gorgeous naner. ( i ate a scoop 'o PB before i left, outttaa the jar. CINNAMON RAISIN. i used to NEVER do this, but lately i have been getting the confidence to just scoop it out when i crave it! I DON'T HATE IT!)

SNACKER:

BERRIES & GRAPES. I PUT PINEAPPLE FLAVORED COTTAGE CHEESE ON AFTER!!!! SORRY ( NO PIC.)

IT'S SO GOOD!!! AHHH! IT'S LIKE DESSERT!

LUNCHEROONI:

well i pointed out that she was "stealing" too much, and that it was mine.. she got really upset yelled at me for over reacting over popcorn and left the table...

i felt really bad but i get a temper when people eat my food.. i'm still working on this and am still in recovery and need to eat all of my meal! it was part of my carby snack that i feel like i need to finish.. idk did i over react at her?  she apologized for being so snappy with me but i just dont know!

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE...

i had a fabulous leisurely time at the gym!

i did some elliptical (20)

a little stairs (15)

and light biking (30)
