Fruit is not a good choice for snacking for posties in my OWN opinion. It's too carby and has too much natural sugars and sets off the whole 'wanting to eat' drive that is still in us.
Protein, even for snacking IS the best choice,then Veggies.
The thing is this..You HAVE to keep that protein level of intake UP constantly. so if you find that you are snacking more, change the choices. Protein is more filling, it's also going to keep you more satisfied longer too.
Plus you might want to look at the 'whys' of the snacking? Are you bored? lonely? feeling needy? Perhaps your blood sugar is low and that's why you continue in the fruit snacking? If that's it, eat more often--PROTEIN FIRST.
Sometimes it really is a simple change or a simple answer. Sometimes not. The more carby you eat the less motivated you will be, the more 'hungry' feeling you'll feel and therein begins that slide back into old habits.
Try journaling too about when you are wanting to snack. Sometimes our own answers come from that.
You can get back on track!

BreeChick's given you wonderful advice.
It's essential that you get into a habit of regular exercise. It doesn't have to be going to the gym, just making sure you take regular brisk walks is good for starters. Riding bicycles, swimming, walking the dog, dancing, whatever. At first, it may take a lot to get your butt moving, but once you get into the habit, it will be smooth sailing.

I agree.... once you get into the habit of working out, you'll feel guilty if you don't! Find something to do that you ENJOY. I started out with riding the stationery bike and doing some weight training. That got boring to me and I slacked off. Then I discovered Zumba and water aerobics. To me, that's a better option. The workout is an hour long, and you're so busy having fun that you don't really notice that you're working out! It's a nice distraction. I still throw in a little bike ride or weight training here and there...but my primary workout comes from the Zumba dancing.
As for the snacking, like Bree said. Get into the habit of grabbing a protein snack. Keep those things handy so that it'll be easier to grab the RIGHT kind of snack. I keep cheese, protein shakes, protein bars, etc with me at work so that I don't stray to the snack machine when I feel "snacky."
Hang in there, you'll get back into the swing of things!

eating carbs tends to make you want more carbs once you get off the carb high, kind of a vicious cycle ~ protein doesn't do that to you. Sounds like you're making good progress ~ you're aware of your choices and working to make smart ones ~ congrats on your success so far

Walking the dog worked to get me going, she lost weight too. Live by the rules of eating. Sometimes I don't even want to eat yet know I have to. Besides the munching urges are you keeping up with your supplements? Hope you feel better about things

i really thought fruits and vege was a healthy choice for me. i dont realize i am eating lots of pure sugars and carbs, i will stay away from fruits and vege from now on and i always have protein powder and bar in my car now my hubby made me especial jerkey the things that i can eat with no sugar he use spenda for sugar flavor and no carb lots of protein on it and i can eat it with out any problem i take that to work now instead of fruits and vege, thank you very much for all of you guys support i was to embarras to write what was bottering me but when i see some post having the same issue as i was i said i am not alone i know doc or somebody will open up my thick headed and be on track again the bad part of this is i learn all of this on the group class before i had my surgery i am not going to bite myself of this issue the one thing i can do is i will take it one step at the time.

cheese cubes, jerky bites (theyre softer than the strips that look like dog chews), nuts, fat free milk( count as food since it has calories and carbs), pork skins in moderation. I still have a sweet tooth so I carry chunky peanut butter and a spoon, and on occasion, a couple of squares of sugar free choclate (gotta watch the sugar alcohol, it will send you running to the commode).
