Snacks

I am working part time at a dry cleaners, which means I spend a four hour shift either watching TV, reading, or doing other aimless activities. Basically I babysit a building. Well, as I sit lazily in the rocking chair behind the counter I've begun a tradition of non-stop snacking. I think I do it out of boredom almost. But for the past few weeks or so I've found myself constantly eating while I rock back and forth trying to decipher Tolstoy and praying that no customer will walk in during an especially intriguing passage. At first I just took carrots with me to work, then I added dried apricots, after a while I needed something more so I was munching on popcorn. After about a week of things turning orange that shouldn't be orange I tried to lessen my intake of orange food. That just left me eating way too much popcorn and leaving work feeling much heavier than when I got there.

So I need help, I need some really good snacks that are, of course, healthy. Plus, taking snacks to my classes during school is always a bonus and maybe it will help eliminate the amount of candy/chocolate I inhale around finals. I did discover, however, that chewing gum does help (I think I just need to be chewing on something, kind of like how I have restless, leg syndrome - I swear I do - I can't keep still for too long. I guess I also have restless teeth syndrome), but gum gives me canker sores after a while.
