BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Beep.  Beep.  Beep.  Oh, hear that?  It must be a truck backing up.  I hope it sees me.  Oh crap!  They're doing that for me.  I'm the "wide load" backing up.  That's right.  My butt is as big as the side of a barn!  UGH!  I try so hard to give up the yummy, but bad for me food and I do well during the day, but when Hubby comes home and we finally get the kids in bed at night and we settle in to watch TV, all I wanna do is eat - and I don't mean carrots and celery (Eww!).  I'm talking about those durn Golden "crack" Oreos or the Caramel Brownies I made a few weeks ago.  Kit Kats (they have crack in them too, btw).  Peanut M & M's.  Nestle Tollhouse Cookies.  Chocolate.  Chocolate.  Chocolate.  Maybe with a side of white cheese dip and guacamole.  YUM!  Hubby is perfectly happy with a chocolate protein shake so he's lost a few pounds, but not me.  I don't want liquid, I want a treat!  I want rich, chocolatey goodness!  So....




I ordered these.  They are called VitaTops Muffin Tops and VitaBrownies.  My sister told me about them last year and they are marvelous!!!  She found them on the Hungry Girl website.  They have a few varieties at our Kroger (in the organic freezer section) but I wanted more variety.  I got the sampler pack from the Vitalicious website.  I've only tried a few of the varieties so far, but they've all been pretty good.  My favorites so far are:  Deep Chocolate VitaTops and Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Vitabrownies.  FABULOUS!  Best part?  They are only 100 caolories and have 5-6 grams of fiber each.  I think that makes them 1 WW point.  I can eat them instead of the other bad for me chocolate junk food with 0- fiber and at least 250 calories!  What a fab substitute.  I've actually lost 3 pounds in the last few weeks.  YEA!  I've still got a long way to go, but I hope I'm on my way. 

BTW, I am NOT being paid and I am NOT receiving anything free from this company.  I'm just sharing good information with my bloggy peeps.  Just a little FYI!

    Those look yummy! I feel the same way about all the sweets and snacks later in the evening. I've started eating those Nabisco 100 calorie snacks. The chocolate pretzels are great and the fudge petites are awesome. Not many in a pack, but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and make me stop thinking about food.

    I've heard good things about these and think it's time I give them a try. Sugar is the biggest issue in my diet.

    I do fine during the day, too....but come evening, I NEED my sweet. I've been trying to sub chocolate sugar free pudding for my usual ice cream lately, but I'm gonna give those VitaBrownies a try, too!

    Oh my goodness...I do this at night too. It's horrible. I've tried to stick with only water after dinner but it's sooooo hard. I'll have to keep my eye out for those next time I shop!
