I love snacks. I especially love chips and anything that is crunchy and seasoned. That's why I'm having such a hard time of this weight loss journey because I'm missing my crunchy (unhealthy) super seasoned snack "things". I've been trying to replace all of the unhealthy things that I was eating with healthier options and I'm down 25 pounds so far, but it hasn't been easy. About midway through my day I start to get cravings and then I pretty much can't function until I eat something. 

I am a food addict and have the hardest time, especially when I'm looking at food all day long you guys.

That's why I decided to jazz up my regular plain almonds so that it helped get me through the day. Don't get me wrong, plain almonds are ok (not really, I really can't stand them, blah!) they just aren't my thing. So I started thinking about what my "thing" was and decided to turn my almonds into something ahh-mazing! I went with a Mexican Spiced Almond blend and it turned out good. Now I can pop a few almonds throughout the day so I'm not stuck in a food brain fog all day long!
