hi....

2 snacks meaning fruits and vegetables..cheese is good in moderation, if it is a light kind..apple and cheese, apple and peanut butter, etc..you know you are dieting right when you are not hungry...even slim fast bars and such are pretty good nowadays...

it is hard to make good food choices as we have gotten heavy and our body is programmed to want certain things..coming off food is like coming off hard drugs..the experts say moderaion is crap, but i think it is individual..for me, moderation worked very well..they key is starving your fat cells.....for instance, at night when you want to eat, that is just your fat cells asking for food..you have to reprogram them to not need to eat..that is why you shouldnt eat 2 hours before bed...

education is key and if you educate yourself about your food choices then you can be better at changing them for the long term...remember that it takes about a month to be able to start to make changes in your habits...dont get discouraged...

keep your chin up...you are gonna be okay...
