[QUOTE="hiddenjewel81, post: 147685, member: 5080"] I'm just now getting to the age where I can't eat what I want to eat when I want to eat it...and it's been tough for me!!!! I'm 5'4, 120lbs....always been 110-115 until recently. Add to that that I quit smoking a month ago (and I thought I was bad at snacking before!!!!).... I'm not to the point of needing to diet, but am working on slowly changing my eating habits because I think it's time I realized I can't eat a bag of popcorn every night anymore! I decided to substitute.....sweets are not a problem for me. My weakness is popcorn, chips, crackers, cashews....hot pockets...ranch on everything!!!! So I bought baked chips, 100 cal snack size popcorn (kinda icky, but the kettle corn version is really good!), and I love love LOVE the 100 cal snack packs (ritz chips sour cream and onion are the best....it's all the real stuff, just pre-portioned which is a BIG help for me). Beef jerkey has really helped too as a not smoking snack....hand to mouth, gives me my salt fix, less than 100 cal and 97% fat free. As for meals, I've been making a lot of my usual, only with different variations and substitutes.....Cambell's healthy request cream of mushroom soup instead of reg (actually doesn't taste bad!), extra lean ground beef (turkey is good too!), fresh or frozen veggies instead of canned, whole grain pastas..... My current favorite (perfect for mom's who don't always have time for homemade)...Progresso Tomatoe Basil soup....then take extra lean ground beef, italien seasoning, and a bit of parmasan chz (a little doesn't hurt...it's not always what, but how much that matters!!!!) and make homemade meatballs, stir into the soup, add a 100% whole wheat dinner roll (1/2 if you're big on carbs) and you have a complete meal. Yum! And for the record, I HATED tomatoe soup till I tried this! That hamburger soup sounds pretty good!!!!! [/QUOTE]
