I'm not overweight, but that doesn't mean I don't crave, and overeat at times, sugar and chocolate. And keeping it out of the house works somewhat.What messes me up is that i over eat junk food. The sad thing is that i love fruits and vegetable, but unfortunately struggle with overeating sugary things. Im not sure what the answer is, i have tried eating junk food in small portions, that doesnt last long. I tried removing it completely, that didnt last long either.
However, what I'm finding has really helped me in these last few weeks is knowing once my sugary foods are gone, there won't be more till I go to the grocery store again, and since going for groceries is such a stressful event these days, I'm only going every 2 weeks or so. Therefore the sooner the chocolate, cookies, etc. are gone, the longer till I get to have them again. Therefore, I'm rationing chocolate bars and cookies to only a couple pieces a day. And interestingly, or maybe not, I think my cravings are lessening with the less sugary foods I'm eating.
That totally makes sense.I notice that the moment i give in (go to a fast food place, or reintroduce junk food) thats when i want the food the most, its really strange.
Hugs ...Going go give it my all though. I feel so uncomfortable right now. I havent been this size in years, it is painful and all i want to do is sleep.
