    I use to eat bread with everything but it wasn't the breast that was worrying me. It was the amount of butter I was having on it. I could smash half a loaf in one sitting with the right (wrong) meal. Looking back now I only have a couple slices a day. I really don't miss it.

    Thank you so much everybody for the replies. Everything I've read was very insightful. I'm going to utilize some of the ideas that were on this thread. My job keeps these rolls and other forms of bread on a constant supply. This is MOSTLY where I have the problem of resisting because they are always there! I forgot to mention that. Nevertheless, I will definitely use the tips I've read. Also, glad to know that I'm not the only sufferer. hahahaha

    I too would be concerned if you were having butter with your breasts...

    I just try to infrequently have the things I can't stop eating in the house. I can't stop eating chips. I don't buy chips. Sometimes I go to a party, and other people bring chips. I eat them there.

    I'm a bread lover. We can have some lame wheat sliced bread in our house that I'm not compelled to eat, but good bakery bread only joins the party once every month or two. I will destroy a loaf of French or crusty Italian bread. And a bakery here does magic with a kalamata olive loaf. They are special treats because I know there will be no moderation.
    In other news, look for grocery stores that sells single self-serve fresh rolls or Pepperidge Farm frozen French rolls. If I'm making something that requires a little bread for dipping (shakshuka, stew, mussels, etc.), having a limited amount available is the key. Best of luck in your bread journey :)

    I thought that might be the case from your post. The "don't keep it at home" comments don't always help me for similar reasons -- home is rarely the source of my temptation.

    Anyway, good luck! Hope some of the comments help when you try them.

    So much this... I do not buy bread but someone is always bringing in bagels, buttery croissants and other yummy bread items ... sigh

    I just looked on youtube for "satanic bread", being as bread is the enemy.

    It's harder if it's at work, but I generally have just taken a hard line that work treats aren't for me. And yes, people offer me good things at work. I do my best to consistently stick to the lunch I pack.

    I haven't even heard of King's Hawaiian Rolls before but hope to never run into one ;).

    Like Filipino "star bread," they can be addictive. Really hard to eat just one.

    The 5 gm of sugar (20 cals out of 90) per serving has a lot to do with it. See:

    I love bread, so I eat it. I don't feel bad about eating bread, I just try not to eat an unnecessary amount of it. If I still come in at or below my calorie goal, all is well!

    I also love a good bread - for your specific problem of having it at work I'd suggest a "one a week" policy - if you use your one for the week on Monday then that's too bad, wait until next week.

    (That wouldn't work for me, I'm not so good at moderating in general, and I have to avoid things most all the time. I ate a banana muffin at work this morning and I didn't really want one until I saw them!)

    Tortillas and Tortilla Chips are my nemesis...

    Why do they have to be so good?

    I've pretty much stopped eating bread. I'll have it every once in awhile at a restaurant or when I'm doing a strenuous hike, but that's all. I don't really miss it, except now I mustbe more creative at lunchtime. My downfall is crusty sourdough bagettes. I can eat an entire bagette with nothing on it in one sitting. I try to keep them out of the house, but when my husband buys it I have to keep it out of sight.
