My Thursday Favorites #2.02 Contest Entry – My Favorite Snack
My favorite snack is chips. I will eat any of them. Potato chips, corn chips, and any of the odd ones I find in SE Asia now. I like the salty and starchy crunch. Chips have been my favorite snack since childhood, and I try not to go on binges with them.
In the US, you can get gigantic packages of chips and this was a downfall for me in healthy eating. Once that bag is open, it will call to me and not stop until the bag is done. In SE Asia, the biggest bag you can get is still small, and so the trouble is less for me here.
When I was in my “losing weight” phase with the help of a fitness trainer, we worked on chips as a thing I needed to find a replacement for. It turned out that stuffed baked potatoes are a good substitute for me. It I ate that instead of chips, I was fulfilled. The starch is still there, and I can use chopped raw veggies for the crunch. But here that is not an easy thing to find. Baked potatoes are not common here and I do not have an oven. So chips it is when I feel like it.
But generally, I am not snacking anyway. I eat a couple meals a day and that’s going to be all I get. My meals are usually nutritious, and snacking has kind of fallen be the wayside in my diet. This is so different than when I was obese. I got almost no nutrition in my regular food and snacked all day and night.
Who knew nutrition would make such a difference in my life? Not me until it happened, and I feel very fortunate that it did.

Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

I have not noticed jackfruit chips, but now I will look out for them. Thank you for the tip, @angelro. I love jackfruit when I get it fresh here.
Thank you for the compliments. I am one of the lucky people who found an answer and this is why I try to help others now.
I sooooo love chips and fries and anything potato and crunchy 😍😍😍. Yah, I know it is not good for health and has since cut down a lot. But every now and then, it calls for me hehe.
