Monica,
hahaha I drink so much water and iced tea (no sugar) that I am calling
someone to give me a break every hour. It sucks for them but it makes
me feel better.
I used to eat the Atkins bars when I was hungry but they are kind of
pricy. But I love carrots and celery so I can snack on those when I get
hungry too.
