Screaming for treats

Let's be honest health eating is not easy. Most of us have junk food cravings. It's hard to say no to these things because we are stressed or heck it seems like it just sitting there staring at us. Trust me I know the feeling. I am just going to eat one. It will be easy. I will just eat one and the cravings will be satisfied. Done by no one ever. Well, at least that my case. That saying is easier said then done. Once I would take one it seemed to lead to another then one more then one more after that. You get the gist. Instead of allowing myself to continue to indulge in the bad habit of junk food, I learned to not buy any. It makes it easier to resist these temptations. After all, if you don't have something it makes it hard to want to eat it.

Junk food does not give us anything. Yes it may give us satisfaction for a little bit, but soon after you are left feeling the same way you did before if not worse. These foods leave you feeling lousy and sluggish. So why choose to eat things that you "want" when it really is not necessary? I may really want that donut, cookie, chips (or whatever it may be) right now, but it is not necessary. Cravings are just a suggestion not a need. So why choose to eat food that is not going to give you the satisfaction of being full as well as give your body the nutritions and energy?

Here are a few healthy snacks:
