one of my weaknesses is food. I like it. and i like the bad stuff. I like the bad stuff as much as i hate exercise(regimented exercise ). But i'm now at the age where i can't have one without the other. Usually as long as I exercise, i can stick to my eating plan-cook for the week on sunday and have everything prepped. When I don't do that i stray. Today I strayed a lot. When I don't feel well i eat junk. Today was a small bag of hot Cheetos, a payday, a snickers and a red bull. All of this while at work. My good food for the day was 5 oz of Fage 0%fat yogurt, 2 oz frozen berries, 1 oz flax seeds, 2 oz of raw almonds, 1 green apple, and tuna and 5 bean salad for lunch. So i'm a bit over my food goal today. I'm not really upset about eating the candy. It bothers me more that I felt like i had to though i knew that i shouldn't but the upside is that it's out of my system for now. I just have to plan for next week- our christmas luncheon is at a thai place--i love thai...i'll be fine as long as i keep exercising and tracking my food. That has really been the key for me. Once I started tracking i couldn't believe how many calories some foods have. How one item could cover 3 meals easily---i used to eat two or three of these types of item per day. It's no wonder i put on the pounds lol. But it's all good. i'm on my way now. Yep i'll definitely be ok.

Sign in to CommentGreat progress! Of course it takes time to develop new habits and stop snacking when you are stressed out. However: fake it 'till you make it! Keep crap foods out of reach and make sure to have alternative snacks available at all times. Yes, you will still be snacking. But snacking on a handful of baby carrots or unsalted nuts is healthier and does not cause new cravings, because it won't send your blood sugar on a roller coaster ride like the chocolate does. You can do this, you are already well on your way!

Get a food scale, too. You may be surprised at the size of "one serving". Also, cut out all the sugar and the cravings will vanish like magic.
