Most of us bear these bad habits, you can do this! It's not easy but rewards ( all non foods) can be great!!!

Baked goods are so tempting, even the batter, but they aren't GOOD for anyone. I have been guilty of making things for my family (years ago) that I was denying myself because I knew it was especially bad for me to eat. Now that the special occasions are past it will be easier to curtail the baking and its temptations. Hang in there - I am aware for you it's extra complicated.

Ok, first of all banana bread is delicious, I too have eaten an entire loaf (warmed with butter 🤤) in one sitting! Just remember to re-evaluate every so often, so that you remember the big picture goal!

Hi Karen! You kinda just described my 2020, but bread and pizza. I have been thinking about you often (me being in my own perpetual restart mode) , and let me remind you that you are the mighty mighty KBUCK, and you are insightful, self-aware, and a master/mistress of the long game. As Melissa just said to me -- it is lovely to see you!!! 💕💕💕 Wishing both of you well with the deployment.

Kay, you know you gotta get back on track. You are strong, you are fierce and you have to lead by example for miss astrid so she doesn't learn these destructive patterns herself. moves are stressful and scary, but often, once you land, it's really not that bad. I bought two things with sugar in them this weekend, see pumpkin pie guts, and that was a poor choice for me along with some other stuff. I understand the compulsions, and I'm right there with you in trying to right the ship. it's really hard to rationalize some of this stuff, isn't it? do you have anyone to call when you need support? I know you find some of it here, but it's easy to hide from the computer. know you are human, you are loved and you can get through this.

My heart is just hurting for you girl. That horrible ED monster is a thief of joy yet appeals quietly in your ear that feeding it will ease pain. Hang in there, Kay. One day at a time... Maybe one hour. ❤️

I too am a recovering person. Sugar and Carbs are my last addiction, and the hardest to conquer. Since I have been diagnosed with full on AFib this week cardiologist said lose weight and exercise or else. I don't want to live with "or else" hanging over me. I am counting calories a day per doctor. So if I really feel like having a slice or piece of something I will buy one piece only to bring home. Can't have extra sitting in the pantry. Doesn't work for me. If I can't add it into my day's allotted calories then I will have to have it another time. I don't want to end up with a stroke just because my "food addiction" finally killed me. I'm 69 and want to live healthy. Good luck. You can do this.

I hope you find it in you to get back at it. Here is a message that resonated with me a long time ago. Take good care of your Children's Mother.

You can restart every day. One bite, one loaf, you know why now, so you can do better for yourself and your babies. I know it's hard - I have been "working on it" (meaning not actually doing it) for 10 years and can't get within 25 pounds of my goal. One bite at a time, Steve loves you and he isn't leaving to leave you - readjust, hang in there.

every moment is a new opportunity to make a choice.
for me, counting every single calorie ... putting it in the app before it goes in my mouth has helped tremendously. I still eat sugar & carbs at times, but putting it in the app and trying to stick to my calorie limit has taught me to slow down and notice how I feel after eating different foods. I love bread & butter and all baked goods, but it doesn't give me the same kind of energy as pure protein.
This app has helped me ask my body what it really needs.
when I do go over my limit, I recognize all I am doing is DELAYING and not failing. So if I go over, it just means it will take longer to reach my goal. Knowing that makes it easier to get back on track by making a a choice in the next moment.

Buy some fresh fruit that you can consume when those triggers for something sweet comes on. I also keep small snack bags of nuts for when I feel a little hungry. They a lot more nutritious that most snacks and are heart healthy. Try to keep things that are healthy for you to snack on. You will see that they are just as good as that processed stuff. Good luck on your food journey.

It is a real challenge to recognize your weak point(s) and you just did - that is at least half the battle. If it is really important to you, you will find a way to move forward towards better health, one meal/snack at a time. I was an at home baker for almost 50 years before I finally recognized that most sugar and flour containing products were triggering my intense hunger and cravings. I had to give up sugar and flour products for two weeks to get things under control. I THOUGHT I was just an emotional eater, and I sought counseling to deal with my emotions, but there were some actual physiological reasons for those foods driving my hunger. Now that I strictly limit sugar and flour I can have a couple of slices of bread or a small portion of pasta or even ONE bite of a chocolate chip cookie and not totally lose control. Best wishes to you for focusing on the big WHY you want to change and finding what works for YOU.

Kay, there may be a support group you can join. FS is a great support group, but it isn't the same as sitting down with real people. Find a group my friend, there is strength in numbers. And know that we are always here for you. 💜💚💛

Back to Gr Rapids for the 3-4th week in a row now, nice to see the MI colors but I was swooned by a couple of Bells fish beers. Yeah Two Hearted American IPA and what’s beer without Nacho Cheese Doritos right? I know your pain….✌️

I do that when I have the blues with stress too. Didn't you just have a baby a few months ago? That's surely still driving hormones nutty. please be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else. I'm sending prayers 🙏 & caring❣

I have the same issue with baked goods.
Forget the candy, soda, ice cream, etc...
Drop some brownies or fresh cookies and its over.
I didnt find FS till after i had already dropped a significant amount of weight so the trend chart doesn't show much. But, i went from 265 to 206 in 4 to 5 months earung right and walking/biking. Im yoyoing between 209 and 214 bow because i lapsed i to baked goods. Are the last 9 lbs that important yes... but how important to me... as long as they are gone by 2022 lol. Keep at it you will do fine.
