Found the Answer!

So I was thinking and pondering and wondering why is it so hard to eat right lately? I think I have the answer. The kids are home. There are snacks and sweets everywhere. When it is just Tom and I and there is ice cream in the house, I make a choice not to eat it and it is still there in 3 days or a week when I may want some. Not so with teenagers around. Eat it now or it is gone. So I find myself eating things that I don't even want right now because if I wait it will be gone. Ummmm maybe I can just go to the store and get some more cereal or whatever if I want some and if we have run out. Duh.
So what have I done about it? Now that I have recognized the problem/pit/reason behind it.
I have started stacking the fridge with sugar free jello and sugar free pudding. I make it once a week (easy peasy) and put it in the little reusable containers. When I want something sweet I can start there. It usually satisfies my sweet tooth.
I should also be getting some fresh veggies and do the same thing. If I have them washed and ready to go then I will snack on them or bring them to work. I can't eat something healthy if I don't have it. I amaze myself with how smart I am.
