in Getting Started
OMG, I joined 2019 I was 209 lbs... NOW!!!!!244 :'(
I definitely need to kick my *kitten* in gear. I am not surprised because my BF kept telling me I was gaining but I was in denial. I set a goal that I would not eat any junk food starting Nov.1,2023. So on Halloween I ate a bag of kraft caramels, a bag of salt and vinegar hickory sticks(dollarama bag), 2 dairy milk, a peanut butter cup, and 2 bags of licorice pals...
My last junk meal. I weighed myself this past Saturday and will only weigh myself on Saturdays.
I have set goals like this before and have succeeded and failed, mostly the no chocolate no candy goal, but as of today I have not eaten any candy or chocolate or chips since Nov. 1.
My goal is to for the next 3 months not to have any of those poisonous foods. I know its not poison but I really have to buck up and do it,, BECAUSE I know I CAN DO IT!! I quit smoking, I cut way way way down on drinking to only once a month, quit hard drugs, quit being a *kitten*(i think)
I turned 59 in July and I want to make it to 60 <3

Wish me luck and glad to be back
:D Bonnie5000 :p

    Good luck!

    I have a real love-hate relationship with potato chips. I don't keep them in the house. However, just so they don't feel 'forbidden', I do get a mini bag and eat them in the car on the drive back from visiting my mom. I only go down once every 6 to 8 weeks.

    If you find yourself obsessing, you should find a 'safe' way to add limited treats to your life.

    I find when I quit it all cold turkey, I could do it for a while--then I would have a massive binge. Once I went 11 months--then ate my weight in chips.

    Just a thought--forbidden foods sometimes get too much power.

    But either way, I wish you nothing but good luck!
