It seems like every time I turn around there’s another product touting it’s 100-calorie-ness in my face.  Don’t get me wrong, I swear by these things.  I couldn’t have lost the weight I have without them.  If your problem is portion control, they’re a god-send.  If your problem is portion control combined with a tight budget, they’re horrifying.

I know that in the interest of saving money, I should just buy a bigger bag of the same product and divide it out into individual portions.  This is easier said than done, however.  I just don’t trust myself.  It’s way too easy to say, “hey what’s one more chip,” or “what’s .1 of an ounce more?”  Which, obviously, could get dangerously out of control.  So until I can learn to trust myself to not try and sneak in those extra cheetos or extra 1/10th of an ounce, I should consider buying stock in the company that makes them.
