Self control issues since reaching maintenance
Replies

Thank you everyone for all the helpful comments and support. I am glad I posted because the more aware I am the more I'll be able to keep in control. This week has been going better and I cut way back on trigger foods like candy and I feel like that's been helping the cravings since I'm fuller, using my calories for more filling things. I'm really hoping this weekend will go better too.
One thing I have going for me is I've continued to exercise and be active. I've been trying to focus on my fitness goals since I'm not focusing on weight loss anymore. I enjoy the exercise I do and I think it leads to me eating better when I do exercise.0 -

All the yes here! Volume foods, avoid the triggers. And I LOVE having fitness related goals to focus on. Food is fuel for performance!0
