Cheese Crackers are the DEVIL!!!

Hi, my name is Kellie and I'm a crackerholic.  Okay, not really but your post brought me a great chuckle.  Good for you for recognizing what was going on and making a course correction.  I love that you smashed the crackers with a hammer - what a great, empowering feeling that must have been!!!   Here's some 100 calorie snack choices - hopefully this will be helpful in kicking your cracker habit!   Kellie

Hello, my name is Jessica..and I am a Cheezit-aholic. I remember the first time post surgery I tried to find some kind of "crunchy" that was not too fattening, that had some nutritional value that I could gum up and not worry about getting it stuck 3 weeks after surgery. Along came my friend "Cheezit" from the land of Nabisco. Evil..ONE- Nothing good comes out of the land of Nabisco..even those 100calorie packs.... TWO: once the Cheezit demon gets you into its clutches..you are screwed! I was up to a box a week..(really bad since I could only have a handful at a time, small handful at that) and they were even making me sick when I had too many!!! So, now they are no longer welcome in my home, or on my camping trips.. or anywhere in the general vacinity of where I live or eat. I also turn my head when I walk by the displays that pay homage to those little orange devils...  so, now my crunchy snack is a half an apple, or a few carrot sticks..or if I have to have the carb crunch, I have an "amok" sesame whole wheat cracker (low fat, no sugar and low carbs, high fiber) with a little bit of hummus or cream cheese on it.. as the Waterboy's mama would say "cheezits are the devil Bobby Bouche'".  :) Jess
