Preparing for the War

I am taking drastic measures to quell this recent bout of endless-eating. I am putting down the granola bars, mixed nuts, and buffalo flavored tortilla chips and looking to some oldies (but goodies!) for a helping hand. Arsenal includes:

Dunkin Donuts’ Iced Latte Lite – Although I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners or OD’ing on caffeine, I will indulge in one of these 120-calorie life-savers when I’m up Calorie Creek without a paddle. Coffee stunts my appetite like no other (..and yet, increases production in other areas — if you know what I mean).

Fab Fatties – Just when I need an extra kick in the pants, The Fabulous Fatties have just announced their third Fab Fattie Challenge! With over 30 participants signed up, this will surely be anything but a cake walk (yum!yum!). There is never a dull moment with these ladies around. Check them out on Twitter or better yet, sign up for the Challenge!

Water - H2o is a huge component of keeping my hunger down. I try to drink at least three 32oz bottles of water during my work day. Doing so has its consequences — eg approximately one trillion trips to the bathroom (past the Wall of Doom to boot!) and severe ADD. Small price to pay for a full belly and an adequately hydrated body!

With 5 o’clock nearing, I think I have today in the bag.
