FIGHTING THE MUNCHIES

Never really hungry, but sometimes a little peckish between meals?

Well, this post is for you,then.

I have tested a few tips and tricks to fight the munchies, and this week I'll share my poor babysteps into the HNW with you.

You don't know what HNW stand for?

No, not for Hearty Nosh World, naughty you! Let's get serious for once!

HNW is the Health Nuts' World, a world where you blow kisses to salads, you treat your tastebuds with beetroot chips, and eat raw carrots and kale when stressed.

Come on, I'm kidding! Actually, healthy eaters just make me green with envy, but let me tell you that settling down in their world won't be a cakewalk for me...

In the HNW, when you are about to dip your hand into the cookie jar, or reach any of your yummy treats, the watchword is "KEEP BUSY ".

And of course, gormandizing is not among the suggested activities, so better forget about it!

No, when it comes to fighting the munchies, going for a walk seems to be one of the best ways to parry the attack,then.

Quite easy as long as the weather is set fair.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not made of glass, and I don't mind walking in the rain.

The only snag is that after facing downpours, the only thing I need to perk up is a nice cup of cheer, I mean, a cup of hot chocolate, so...

Among the bona-fide munchies fighters, doing crosswords is said to be a foolproof way to ignore your tummy's plea for treats.

Quite sure, cause that game keeps your mind and your hands busy, and far from temptations.

Well, I have had a go, but to no avail.

The first definition I came across was " When in the sky, it's wishful thinking ".

After chewing the eraser off my pencil (you know, when you feel like nibbling, anything can do),

I had a light bulb moment, and found the answer.

Guess what it was!

PIE! Yes, guys, a pie in the sky is a promise, an idea or a plan very unlikely to happen!

But  jeez, the word " PIE " was just like the wake-up call my inner peckish self was waiting for to fling me to the kitchen!

As those two suggestions to ditch my yummy treats had failed, I decided to have an ultimate try.

I browsed through the tips and tricks I had found on the web, and chose a get-up-and-go one.

" When you feel peckish, dance around the house to your favourite music "  took the cake, cause it seemed to be a good way to rock my snacking.

And you know what one of my favourite song is : " I can't get no satisfaction " by the Rolling Stones!

I guess its burning fat beat will make up for my raids on the pantry!

I'll let you know.

In the meantime, never miss a chance to dance, and if you stumble, make it part of the dance!
