99 : How Do I Stop Snacking From Wrecking My Weight Loss?

So this question, the actual question was, "How do I get on top of my snacking?" So my question to that was, "What do you mean by on top of?"

My mindfulness needs to be placed around my snacking, and I've found that I can train myself to not bother with them.

But I have to be mindful of that, 'cause, yeah, I, I like, I like a little snacky snack.

[laughs] But I have to, I have to keep it on my radar.

We all love a snack.

And I tell you what, if you ask my kids about snacks, I feel like they are the princesses, queens of snacks.
