Perils of Healthy Eating

I've been trying to cut the empty calories out of my diet as much as possible. One of the things I've done is to start taking cups of applesauce to work in my lunch instead of candy. The problem? When I get ready to eat it I just feel like I'm about to snack on baby food. I'm waiting for some Brobdingnagian woman with a mammoth spoon to suddenly appear and make airplane noises at me. Maybe it has something to do with the consistency of the applesauce? I don't know but it's just weird.
