Snack Basket

I was thrilled when my husband decided to give the diet a try with me. My happiness soon turned to annoyance when it seemed like every five minutes he was pestering me and asking me how many points something was or if he could have this or that. After about his third or fourth request, I got smart. I got up and got a magic marker. I checked the labels on each can of soup and marked the total number of points for the can on top of each can. I also made a snack basket. I sat a basket on the counter. In the basket I placed things that were allowed. I wrote how many points each item was on the wrapper or skin. No more guessing. Now when he wants to snack he just goes to the snack basket and gets a snack without bothering me. It works for me.
