Remind me to never buy chees it's. I've never loved them, so guess I'm lucky there. My thing it Wheat thins. I can eat those all day. ARRR

Thanks to eveyone that replied and I am storing your suggestions and encouragement in my mental bank!! I'm going to see if I can find those nuts that you were talking about Melody. I'm also going to stock up on almonds that was mentioned too. I brought some extra cheese today to work and some sunflower seeds. I need to go grocery shopping too. I was just having a rough time for whatever reason yesterday... You are all wonderful and I sure do love and appreciate you. You are my safety net!! Have a good day Alfie

I found something that is WONDERFUL. I was in Walmart and browsing the produce section when I saw a display of packaged bulk items. These were mexican specialty items. One package looked like some kind of nut. I read the nutrition facts and it boasted 9 gms of protein for 1/4 cup. Now I don't speak Spanish but I took a chance and bought these different looking nuts. I had no idea what I was buying. The package says "Pepitas Saladitas - Roasted & Salted Pepitas". I bought a package and opened them when I got to the car (shouldn't go shopping when you're hungry). They are terrific. They taste like pumpkin seeds. They are fabulous. 9 gms of protein in 1/4 cup and only 150 calories. I think this is my new munchie food. The salt can be a drawback but oh well - I'll put up with it. At our Walmart I paid $1.94 for a 6 oz pkg. Thought I'd share. Melody

Oh, what a great post! I have been wanting to get to know you all better! I was BIC. #6 of 14 kids. I rebelled for a bit and married a man that I fell in love with in AZ. We moved back here with his daughter in tow and had three boys. 17, 14, and 11. Talk about a handful! The daughter, who is now 24 is reactive attachment, bipolar. the seventeen year old is bipolar and the 11 year old is extremely ADHD and oppositional defiant. I owe my sanity to the church who helped me place my uncontrollable 17 yr old at the Utah Boys Ranch and they are helping with issues of the 11 yr old too...VERY LONG BORING STORY! My dd took the discussion when she was 10 and joined the church. my older two now hold the priesthood. My dh joined the church in 93 and FINALLY we were sealed in the Jordan River Temple this last April. I am continually amazed at the grace, mercy and love of our heavenly Father. I have one granddaughter who passed away in 2002 but it was her spirit that helped guide me to the temple without my hubby. I was endowed 2 years before he was and yes, it was "a great and dreadful day!" I have held many callings unfortunately here in my home area it is becoming increasingly ness. to hold more than one. Our sis from alaska mentioned splitting the ward...we just had to go from 7 wards in the stake to 5 to absorb the inactive and nonmembers in the area. I have an ever growing testimony of the truthfullness of the gospel. I am taken aback by people who do not believe we are christian. A dear friend of many many years was just born again and told me that we do not believe in christ. I just sat there with a stupied look on my face and said...If we do not believe in christ, then how come the name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? He then tried to tell me that we worship Joseph Smith as a modern day Christ.....I just don't get it. I would love to get to know each of you better through the boards. I feel such a brotherhood and sisterhood when I am here. Trudi Longest post I have EVER written!

I usually cure the munchies with nuts, almonds are best. they are good for you and not a lot of calories. Besides, how many nuts can someone eat? I also am tired of water (i refuse to drink it) Try koolaid, gatoraid, walmart flavored water, etc to keep the munchie monster at bay. Gordon
