I am Hypocrite, Hear me Roar!

So somehow I've managed to get roped into being a co-chair for a Meal Planning group for my church. Basically, once a month, we get together and discuss tactics for preparing meals, being healthy, and who knows what else. The reason I have no idea is that I've never even gone to this group once so how I ended up co-chair is beyond me.

Regardless, I am and tonight they asked me to prepare a bit about 'snacking healthy' to present to the other ladies. I am having a hard time with this topic because I don't snack healthy. Okay, sometimes I do but other times I don't. And those times that I don't, I really don't. For example I have been known to 'snack' on the following:

1- A giant bowl of popcorn with an entire stick of butter melted and drizzled over it.
2- Nearly an entire pan of brownies.
3- Sometimes I fill up a mug with an abhorrent amount of cheese and I'll zap it in the microwave until it's thoroughly melted. Then I'll eat the whole thing straight.
4- If pizza is around, I'll eat 2 or 3 slices (too many) - and then I'll proceed to eat the toppings and cheese off the rest of the entire pizza.
5- At least half a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
6- Probably about 12 cookies in one sitting.

You get the picture. So what on earth am I doing telling anyone how to snack healthy? I just feel like a chump even broaching the subject. Uhggghh...

Yeah but you don't LOOK like you snack on those things. And I want to see you eat the cheese mug. That sounds fun. Fun to watch that is.

Regarding the cheese mug:

Mr X had witnessed this a few times and he says it's disturbing and gross. It really bothers him to see me shoveling that much microwaved cheese into my pie-hole.

I sure hope I don't look like a microwaved cheese fanatic.

I love it! Charlotte, you rock... I'm glad to know you binge on crappy food... I don't feel so bad. I feel like a disgusting pig today because I had no work ethic in my work-out today and ate curly fries and cheez-its. Yeah...
hopefully I can wake up tomorrow and start a new day not like today...
PS I miss you!

I bought a costco sized box of oreos--it had 10 sleeves of oreos. a huge amount, right? I ate one of those a night, easy, while kevin was gone. poor kids, they kept asking, "didn't you buy oreos?". I just had to lie to them and tell them i didn't, when in reality I just didn't want to share. Seriously, it lasted me 10 days. That's a lot of black and white.

Reading this post made me hungry. I can't decide what I think of the cheese mug - disgusting or brilliant?

I love this post. I feel like it is a snacking confessional.

My greatest snacking sins:

- an entire bag of Red Vines (multiple times)

- 3/4 of a box of Teddy Grahms

- bowl of popcorn with tons of melted butter and salt (I didn't know anyone else ate this as much as I do)

- a three-pack of Butter Horns (nasty processed pastries, What was I thinking?)
