CeAnn, I Know what you're going through! It is Hard! My battle changed when the cold weather arrived and every time I walked into the grocery store the last two months, the CANDY has been displayed in every place that it shouldn't be. It basically surrounded the produce section like a fortress wall! There's no ignoring it because of the bright packaging. It's easy to ignore when it's confined to a certain section of the store. I'm shouting, "GIVE ME A BREAK!" Someday I'll accidentally do it out loud.
I have had to completely alter my cookbooks - gone are all the Taste of Home unhealthy recipes, replaced with 'clean eating' ones. I'm fortunate in the sense that when I consume sugar and white flour products, I have a bad reaction. I not only bloat, but my mind gets spacey and my knees ache. It's a terrible feeling, so between that and my size 6 daughter giving me the stink eye when I make a poor choice, I'm moving to a better mental place. It is Hard. Keep at it.
