Hungry Hungry Hippo
>> Tuesday, September 14, 2010
That is how I felt today. After work I came home I was so hungry. Do you have any suggestions as for what I can eat to satisfy my hunger? I had a half bagel with some peanut butter, I was still hungry. So I had some Triscuits with cheese, still hungry. I had a bit of dry Honeynut Cheerios. Finally I was satisfied. I went for a run that turned into 5K. Now I am eating my supper. My legs feel a bit better but still broken. I must admit that the run helped.

Sometimes I get like that and I make myself a smoothie with lots of fruit or sometimes I make bad choices and eat crap. Usually a snack like nuts and raisins, or a bagel thin sandwich with lunch meat will satisfy me.
If I have bad stuff around the house I will snack on it so I try to have a bunch of healthy low fat things around when I get the munchies like that. I was like that yesterday and much on a bowl of leftover steamed veggies. Got like that again today and located Mini me's stash of Doritos AND powdered donuts :(
When I'm on plan, I keep a bowl of fruit on the counter that I can just grab....apples, navel oranges, pears, peaches, plums...I keep a big bowl of watermelon cut up and in the frig....and I have some veggies in the frig....sometimes I'll wash a cucumber and eat the whole thing w/o even slicing it up...or slice up some red bell peppers...or tomatoes...or keep a big bowl of sauteed or grilled veggies in the frig...like yellow squash, zucchini, onions & mushrooms. Hope this helps! :)
I know it sounds weird, but when I get like that, sometimes I'm just thirsty, when I'm good I drink water and wait a few minutes to see if that fills the void. Glad the legs are better.
