I enjoy snacking. My favorite right now is the White Cheddar popcorn from Smartfood. I like the flavor and it's nice to just sit and munch on. Plus it's pretty inexpensive compared to chips.
There are certain times that I'm particularly prone to snacking--when I'm sitting at the computer watching a Netflix show, during a RPG with friends, when I'm bored, when I'm reading... You get the picture. I like to think that I don't snack much, but it tends to add up.
I've been thinking a lot lately of how life will be different after weight loss surgery. So how will my life change if I can no longer snack in the way I'm used to snacking? I sometimes get a little figgety and I feel like I need to be doing something with my hands. Maybe I can find another activity to do with my hands? Or maybe I just need to sit in the discomfort of not having something to do. It's okay to be bored, right? And if I need a slight distraction or something to do while I'm watching a show or something else, then maybe the activity isn't really holding my interest in the first place.
How much joy do I honestly get out of snacking? I'm not sure. It satisfies me in the ways that eating generally satisfies me. It makes me feel full. It helps fill a void. It keeps me occupied. Is that enough? I'm thinking no... I think I will trade the satisfaction of snacking for a more meaningful fulfillment.
