I have learned so many things since I joined Weight Watchers. I was very surprised that it was not all about dieting, but about making better food choices. In the very first meeting that I attended, we talked a lot about food storage and I attribute a lot of my success to that very topic.

I learned that we were much more likely to snack on fruits and vegetables if they were readily available when the hunger pangs struck us. We were told that if we took them home and washed and chopped them up, we were much more likely to grab their food storage unit out of the fridge and start munching on them, rather than that handy bag of chips on the shelf.

After that meeting, I went out and purchased several food storage units for that sole purpose and I learned that they were right. When I was hungry, I did not feel like washing and cutting up a vegetable to eat, but since that was already done, I needed to only grab the container from the fridge and my snack was ready.
