When Buying In Bulk Just Means You Eat More ~ Make Allotments | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/04/14/when-buying-in-bulk-just-means-you-eat-more-make-allotments/#comment-22437 Brandon Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:44:24 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/04/14/when-buying-in-bulk-just-means-you-eat-more-make-allotments/#comment-22437 It interests me that so many people snack so much. I very rarely eat any snacks, and for the most part I have always been that way. I think the one exception was during part of college when I had an apartment and a job working from my dorm. I noticed that I would often go to the kitchen and graze on whatever was there while I was working in lieu of having a hearty meal (though as often as not this turned out to be cheese or something out of the fridge rather than chips or something since chips never stayed around more than a day or two with four guys, two of which could annhilate some chips [I had to hide my personal stash]). I consciously stopped grazing though because I started to get concerned about gaining weight through it. I am going off on a tangent, but I have thankfully been around the same weight since I stopped growing. I control this solely by keeping myself eating for the sake of eating and eating until I am satisfied rather than stuffed at meals. Anyway, so the problem with me with snacks is that they tend to go stale if I have them around if they aren't something my wife eats. I usually end up having to plan "sandwich and chips" lunches to eat them up before they go bad. It interests me that so many people snack so much.
