I sometimes stop by Wendy's on my way home, order a cheeseburger, and scarf it down before I get home. Then when I get home I pretend it didn't happen and continue on to eat my regular dinner.

    You must confess to Pastor Gains at your local gym lol. If he accepts your confession he will endow you with gains of muscle and strength. :p

    I gave up sugary cocktails and replaced them with cookies, cupcakes, and smores. :#6s6csidbt2le.jpeg

    haha - I used to do that when my wife started cooking "healthy" dinners to help me lose the lard.

    "I don't understand why Rob's not losing weight; he eats very healthy"... >:)

    I just said it was my "genetics" like most weaklings too gluttonous to face reality. I am so glad she did not give up on me. I finally got it, and all of a sudden...my "genetics" transformed magically.

    And she asked "How? Why now?"
    I did not have the courage to tell her the truth, so I claimed Divine intervention...and then she made me go to church for 6 straight Sundays...
    That one lie costed 6 whole wasted days!

    What can I say. It's confession day! Another confession: tonight I went to the mall. Unbeknownst to me, there is an evening farmers market. They sell all kinds of goodies....I walked around. Took in all the wonderful aromas and smells. I settled on some kettle popcorn. I had about 1 cup serving = 88 calories.

    Boom! Changing my naughty ways. o:)

    Going to church is never a wasted day!!! I need it every Sunday to get me through the week of Wendy's, Pizza Hut, and all those other fast food devils that I love!!!+

    If going to church is a "wasted day" I would find another church.

    OP, my confessions this month are all wrapped in colorful foil, shaped like cute little animals (mostly bunnies) and made of solid milk chocolate. They were all half price after Easter. Now I need to STOP!!

    I struggle daily with making right food choices! My worst is at night when all I want is a cupcake or a cookie.

    Fit in your baked good. I wouldn't set up your weight loss plan to avoid foods and "trick" yourself with replacements because, really, is that going to work?

    Have a sensible calorie goal. Then fit in your foods. It's not that hard. If you go over one day, start fresh the next and keep at it. Don't give up.

    Done that, been there ... and that's one reason I ended up at a weight of over 270 pounds at one time.

    Replacement snacks: look into fiber one brand snacks such as their brownies and oatmeal bars. Start carrying healthy snacks with you and every time you think of cheating with something unhealthy just don't and eat a healthy one.. And if having a burger is a must then stop at in and out and order a protein style with no spread and no cheese,just add mustard or ketchup or both.

    I have also done the whole stopping by somewhere and getting something to eat. It is hard. I struggle everyday as I live in a very "foodie" community. As for sweets at night, my weakness is PB&J or Nutella sandwich. I found an oatmeal chocolate peanut butter cookie recipe on the MFP recipes that has really curbed my sweet tooth. I bake them, and I put them in a ziplock bag by servings and eat that. Seems to help..... so far!

    For baked goods, I bake chocolate or piña colada cake, a much healthier version of cake, and eat a piece with Tru whip on top. Yummy...

    I guess i'm lucky... i dont have a taste for fast food. My weakness is ice cream. More specifically, mint chocolate chip. I admit, i ate a pint of it before one day. :s It was a very stressful week, i think i deserved it! Lol.

    We're all human. Just keep going :) tomorrow is a new day.
