I had to pick up a few things from TJ”s after work. I have been eyeing this cereal for a while now.
But didn’t want to get it because the nutritional info is not too good – Very high in calories for 3/4c serving. Who eats 3/4c cereal? Not this girl!
I caved and bought it to try. I had a few handfuls on the way home. Then, when I got home I had a little in a cup with milk. It works well both ways.
I like it, but I say it should be eaten as a dessert. These are more like cookies – not cereal. Do you like how I changed the box?
See, they’re filled with chocolate. It was like frosting. 
The one good thing about these cookies are they don’t have a ton of random ingredients:
This pretty much ruined my dinner and I wasn’t hungry after all the cereal, but I still felt empty for some reason. So I ended up snacking a bunch. Boo. I didn’t taking pictures since it was a lot of mindless eating.
I took a walk to get away from the kitchen and then came back to a huge salad topped with leftovers.
My afternoon snack was going to be fruit and tea, but the fruit was “tingly” so I think it was bad. I drank the tea, but ditched the fruit.
My real snack ended up being the $4.00 hummus with broccoli. 
Intuitive Eating – I was genuinely full today after snacking, but I convinced myself to eat a “real dinner” and now I feel like crap. I am going to stop snacking before dinner time. If I’m really hungry I’ll have some afternoon fruit, but I always end up eating more than that and I’m never hungry for dinner! I don’t want to make a Rule that I only eat fruit before dinner, but I am NEVER hungry for dinner. I need to change something.
Geez that cereal would be dangerous around me! That looks so good!
I know what you mean about the dinner thing–lately I haven’t been very hungry for dinner because of my snacks. I hope you can figure something out 🙂
The cereal looks so tasty – I would have snacked on it too!!
Finding a balance between listening to your hunger cues and acting based on conventional wisdom (dinner is important) is something I struggle with often. I suppose the best thing is just to take it one day, or even one meal or one bite at a time!
Good luck 🙂
I do that same thing. I overeat in the afternoons after work and then for dinner I convince myself I have to eat. But one day a light bulb went off and I realized I didn’t HAVE to eat dinner. If I’m not hungry for it, I don’t eat it.
I feel weird sometimes when I cook dinner for my husband and he wonders why I’m not eating but I think he understands that sometimes I overdo it before he gets home and he doesn’t care so much that I don’t sit and eat with him.
That cereal does look like dessert. I love cereal.
That’s too bad you are too full for dinner. I do that sometimes as well. I hope you can find a happy medium!
Have a great day!
WOW those cereal things are something that i could NOT have in the house. CUE CEREAL BINGE!
OMG….. I could eat an entire box of cereal in one sitting. Oh, wait…. I HAVE done that! I bet I could devour those cookie cereals!!!
