I've learned a lot over the past two weeks. My eating habits mostly. I like to snack. I need meals that last a long time. So a Lean Cuisine - and just a Lean Cuisine - does not fill me up. So I go searching for chocolate somewhere. And a Hershey's Kiss has 26 calories. Which is a small number, except I've learned I can eat 8 snap peas and do 7 calories. And it fulfills me the same way, because I just like to be eating.
On Friday night, after date night, we stopped by the grocery store and I picked up some more vegetables and some rice cake 90-calorie packs. Because once at work last week, I ate an entire bag of rice cakes -- and it came in at like 490 calories. Which is a lot better, I've discovered than a bag of Hershey's kisses.
So I've learned a lot, but I've also learned that I have no problem eating something fatty and then entering it into Sparkpeople. It doesn't really deter me. Sometimes my eyes bug out and I'm all, whoa! But I've still managed to finish off my birthday cake and cupcakes and all. Though I did take the bag of kisses out of my cubicle and put them in the breakroom. Which means they were gone in five minutes.
I also don't think it helped that I started tracking right before the GMAT. Hopefully now I can get my appetite under control, now that I'm not sitting and studying all the time.

Love to snack too (hmm, wonder where you got it from). Like the veggie idea - something crunchy sounds good.
Those are cool trackers. I need something like that for my diet, just starting one. It's hard. Just want to be eating, like you said. Doesn't matter so much what. So I need to do that and switch to healthy food in lieu of the hersey's. Love chocolate.
