I am sorry I didn't purposely ignore your question.
It is so hard for me to keep junk out of the house b/c I have a four year old who loves junk food and a husband who also does. I am okay with allowing myself a cookie here and there.
I am going to try the same thing as you, just stock up on carrots and celery and hope that helps. It's also hard b/c I am so tired I don't feel like cooking either. blah.
So far my only trick is dipping strawberries in chocolate yogurt. lol If you haven't tried Stoneyfield organic underground chocolate yogurt you are missing out! I know it sounds strange but it is awesome!
